Jan (bishop of Wrocław)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jan (Latin: Johannes) was the first bishop of Wrocław. He took power over the diocese of Wrocław at the time of its establishment in the year 1000.[1]
He had a brick cathedral to replace an older wooden church, but this was destroyed in a pagan revolt in 1031, and the diocese ceased to function.The diocese was re-established in 1050 with Hieronim as Bishop.[2]
