Peter I. von Rosenberg
(died 1347) | aristocrat |
Peter I. von Rosenberg
probably received his education in the Vyšši
Brod monastery where he was led to a very positive relation and
fondness to the church. He was called "Peter the Humble" or "Peter
the Monk". He is credited with the construction of a new chapel on
the Český Krumlov castle or the St. Jošt
Church in Český Krumlov with its local hospital. His heritage
enabled the founation of the minorite
monastery in 1350 in Český Krumlov. He gave the order to have
the altar-pieces painted for the decoration of the Vyšší Brod
monastery by the master of the Vyšší Brod altar. He served as the
highest valet at the court of Jan of Luxembourg where he, along
with Jindřich from Lipé, was one of the most influential
aristocrats in the country. He married the widow of the Czech king
Václav III, Viola Těšínská.
