Peter von Schleinitz
Peter von Schleinitz († August 26, 1463, probably in Zeitz ) was bishop of Naumburg from 1434 to 1463 .
Peter came from the von Schleinitz family , who provided other bishops in the dioceses of Naumburg and Meißen. Many authors wrongly assigned him to the von Haugwitz family . He studied in Leipzig and Bologna. After the death of his uncle Johann II von Schleinitz , he succeeded him as Naumburg bishop. The clashes with the Hussites decreased. He became involved in the Saxon fratricidal war that broke out among the Wettins . Peter tried to find a mediating position between the brothers Wilhelm III. and Friedrich II. He was buried in the Zeitz collegiate church. Its bronze epitaph has been preserved.
