Arnošt Of Pardubice
Arnošt of Pardubice (Czech: Arnošt z Pardubic, German: Ernst von Pardubitz; 25 March 1297 – 30 June 1364) was the first Archbishop of Prague (and the last bishop).
He was also an advisor and diplomat to Emperor Charles IV.
Life
Arnošt of Pardubice was probably born in Hostinka (today part of Vestec), but possibly also in Kłodzko. He was the eldest son of Knight Arnošt of Hostinka, and spent his childhood in Kłodzko.
Arnošt inherited the town of Pardubice in 1340. He was confirmed bishop of Prague on 11 March 1343 (3 March 1343 O.S.), and was commissioned the first Archbishop of Prague on 8 May 1344 (30 April 1344 O.S.). He ordered the monks to contribute to the newly founded Charles University (14th century), hence enhancing the quality of the education in the institution.
