Jacob van Oudshoorn

Jacob van Oudshoorn (died c. 18 September 1322) was bishop of Utrecht in 1322.

[1] Van Oudshoorn was deacon in Utrecht before he was elected bishop.

He was consecrated by the archbishop of Cologne, Hendrik II van Virnenburg, but pope John XXII only accepted his nomination after the payment of a large amount of money, which ruined his family.

Shortly after this he died, according to his own suspicions, from poison.
