A priest from the Bohemian noble family Slavnik. His Czech name was Vojtech. He became Bishop of Prague in 983 and tried to Christianize Czechs from a Benedictine monastery, but he came into conflict with powerful nobles and resigned in 988 to enter a monastery near Rome. He was sent to Prague again by Pope John XV in 992, but found it difficult to spread Christianity there, so he moved to Hungary, then Poland and Prussia to preach. He was supported by his friends Otto III (Holy Roman Emperor) and Bolesław I (King of Poland), but on April 23, 997, he was killed by pagans while on a mission in Pomerania and was canonized. In 1000, the Archbishopric of Poland was established in Gniezno, where he was buried. He is called the "Apostle of Prussia."

ボヘミア貴族スラブニク家出身の聖職者。チェコ名ボイチェフVojtech。983年プラハ司教となり、ベネディクト派修道院を拠点にチェコ人のキリスト教化に努めたが、有力な貴族勢力と対立し、988年辞してローマ近傍の修道院に入った。992年教皇ヨハネス15世により再度プラハへ派遣されたが、同地での布教を困難とみて、ハンガリー、ついでポーランド、プロイセンへ移り、宣教した。親交のあったオットー3世(神聖ローマ皇帝)、ボレスワフ1世(ポーランド王)に支持されたが、997年4月23日ポメラニアで宣教の途上異教徒に殺され殉教し、聖者に列せられる。埋葬の地グニエズノGnieznoに1000年ポーランド大司教座が設置された。「プロイセンの使徒」とよばれる。 [山本俊朗] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
