Arnošt of Pardubice

Arnošt of Pardubice (Czech: Arnošt z Pardubic, German: Ernst von Pardubitz; 25 March 1297 – 30 June 1364) was the first Archbishop of Prague (and the last bishop).

Arnošt of Pardubice was probably born in Hostinka (today part of Vestec), but possibly also in Kłodzko.

He was the eldest son of Knight Arnošt of Hostinka, and spent his childhood in Kłodzko.

[1] He ordered the monks to contribute to the newly founded Charles University (14th century), hence enhancing the quality of the education in the institution.
