Johan Weze
Johan Weze (1490–13 June 1548), also known as Johan von Weeze, was a secretary of King Christian II of Denmark and a diplomat at the service of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In 1522, he was appointed Archbishop of Lund.[1] He followed Christian II into exile but resigned as his secretary when Christian refused to follow the policies of his brother-in-law the Emperor Charles V. In 1527 Weze joined the service of the Emperor as a diplomat and participated in numerous missions in the Holy Roman Empire. He was appointed Prince Bishop of Constance in 1537, a post he held until his death in 1548.[2][3]
