His coat of arms was that of bishop and silver two Vulture heads gules (common with of Vlašim and Jenštejn).
In 1366 he ordered the incarceration of Jan Milíč z Kroměříže for his preachings against Charles IV, whom he called the "Antichrist".
[dubious – discuss] Jan Milíč was later freed by Charles and remained in his favour.
On 18 September 1378, by nomination of Pope Urban VI, he became the first Bohemian named a Cardinal.
[citation needed] According to Konrad Eubel,[1] Joannes de Jenzenstein was appointed to succeed him on 19 March 1379.
