Jiříz Poděbrad

Japanese: イジー（英語表記）Jiříz Poděbrad

Born: April 23, 1420, Podiebrat
[Died] March 22, 1471. King of Bohemia in Prague (reigned 1458-71). Also known as Podăbrady. Born into a noble Hussite family. In 1444 he became the leader of the conservative Utraquists, and in 1448 occupied Prague in opposition to the pro-Habsburg Catholics. In 1451 he was appointed regent for the young king Ladislav I (László V of Hungary) by the Council of Tribes, and was elected king after his death. With the support of the small and medium-sized nobles and cities, he curbed the tyranny of the great feudal lords and organized the country well. As a result, Bohemia prospered greatly under his rule. He persecuted the radical Hussites who had gathered in the Bohemian Brotherhood, placing priority on cooperation with Catholics in the country, but in 1462 he came into conflict with Pope Pius II, and was excommunicated by Pope Paul II in 1466. In 1469, his country was invaded by Hungarian King Matthias I Corvinus, who had been asked by the Pope, and he died in despair after facing rebellions by the country's great feudal lords.

ボヘミア王 (在位 1458～71) 。ポディブラディとも呼ばれる。フス教徒の名門貴族出身。 1444年保守的なウトラキスト (→両形色論者 ) 派の指導者となり，1448年カトリック教徒の親ハプスブルク派に対抗してプラハを占領。 1451年等族会議により幼王ラディスラフ1世 (ハンガリー王ラースロー5世 ) の摂政に任命され，その死後国王に選ばれた。中小貴族と都市の支持を得て大領主の専横を押さえ，よく国政を整えた。このためボヘミアはイジーの治世下に大いに繁栄した。国内カトリックとの協調を第一としてボヘミア同胞同盟 (→ボヘミア兄弟団 ) に結集した急進的なフス教徒を迫害したが，1462年ローマ教皇ピウス2世と対立し，1466年教皇パウルス2世によって破門された。教皇の依頼を受けたハンガリー王マーチャーシュ1世コルウィヌスによって 1469年国土を侵され，国内大領主の反乱に直面して失意のうちに死去した。
