Hieronymus Makofsky or Makowsky (c. 1565–1630) was a Bohemian knight and a gentleman of the privy chamber to Emperor Rudolph II.

[1] He is thought to have had a homoerotic (although not necessarily sexual) relationship with the emperor.

[3] As a Calvinist, he was thought to have fed the emperor's mistrust of the Capuchins brought to Prague under the leadership of Lawrence of Brindisi.

[4] He also dabbled in the occult, and in 1601 it was rumoured that he had used dark arts to bewitch the emperor.

[5] In the same year, Rudolph awarded him the hamlet of Vřesce, in the parish of Ratibořice (now part of Ratibořské Hory, Tábor District), and its associated mining rights.
