John of Nepomuk ( Jan Nepomucký) (c. 1345 – 20 March 1393) was the saint of Bohemia (Czech Republic) who was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia. Later accounts state that he was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia and refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. Based on this account, John of Nepomuk is considered the first martyr of the Seal of the Confessional, a patron against calumnies, and, because of the manner of his death, a protector from floods and drowning. Jan z Pomuku came from the small market town of Pomuk (later renamed Nepomuk) in Bohemia, now in the Czech Republic, which belonged to the nearby Cistercian abbey. Born in the 1340s, his father was a certain Velflín (Welflin, Wölflin), and his mother is unknown. His father's name is probably a derivative of the German name Wolfgang. 1 January studied at the University of Prague, then furthered his studies in canon law at the University of Padua from 1383 to 1387. In 1393, he was made the vicar-general of Saint Giles Cathedral by Jan of Jenštejn (1348–1400), the Archbishop of Prague from 1378 to 1396. In the same year, on 20 March, he was tortured and thrown into the river Vltava from Charles Bridge in Prague by order of King Wenceslaus IV. At issue was the appointment of a new abbot for the rich and powerful Benedictine Abbey of Kladruby; its abbot was a territorial magnate whose resources would be crucial to Wenceslaus's struggles with nobles. At the same time, Wenceslaus was backing the Avignon papacy, whereas the Archbishop of Prague followed its rival, the pope at Rome. Contrary to the wishes of Wenceslaus, John confirmed the archbishop's candidate for Abbot of Kladruby and was drowned on the king's orders on 20 March 1393. This account is based on four contemporary documents. The first is the king's accusation, presented to Pope Boniface IX on 23 April 1393 by Archbishop Jan of Jenštejn, who immediately went to Rome with the new abbot of Kladruby. A few years later, Abbott Ladolf of Sagan listed John of Nepomuk in the catalog of Sagan abbots, completed in 1398, and in the treatise "De longævo schismatic," lib. VII, c. xix. A further document is the "Chronik des Deutschordens"/Chronik des Landes Preussen, a chronicle of the Teutonic Order compiled by John of Posilge, who died in 1405. In the above accusation, Jan of Jenštejn already calls John of Nepomuk a "saint martyr ."The biography of the bishop (written by his chaplain) describes John of Nepomuk as "gloriosum Christi martyrem miraculisque coruscum" (in English: "a glorious martyr of Christ and sparkling with miracles"). Thus, the vicar put to death for defending the laws and the autonomy of the Catholic Church became revered as a saint directly after his death.
