Piotr of Chotków (d. 1497) was a medieval Polish educator and clergyman who was Bishop of Płock (1480-1497).[1]

Biography

Multiple locations are provided for Piotr's birth. Historian Antoni Julian Nowowiejski indicates the village of Mąkolin near Bodzanów, and the Polish Biographical Dictionary indicates Chotkowo near Bodzanów.[2][3] Piotr was born into the peasantry, but both Nowowiejski and Samuel Orgelbrand acknowledge that heraldists associate him with the Kościesza coat of arms.[4] Heraldist Adam Boniecki [pl] lists Piotr under the Kościesza arms.[5]

Piotr received degrees from the Kraków Academy in 1454 and 1457.[4] After this, he lectured in Kraków before moving to Bologna where he received a degree in medicine.[5][4] He then lectured at the university in Bologna before moving back to Poland.[2] By 1471, he was tutor and then chancellor for both Janusz II and Bolesław V, the sons of Bolesław IV.[2][3]

Piotr became Bishop of Płock in 1480. As bishop, he built a school, hospital, and chapel. He also authored medical texts during his life.[2][4]

Piotr died in 1497 and was buried in Płock.[3]
