Johann Lohel

The abbot-general, John Despruets, named him his vicar-general and visitor of the circles of Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland.

During the illness of archbishop Karel Graf von Lamberk, Paul V appointed Lohelius coadjutor in May 1612.

The cathedral, property of the Crown (as part of the Royal Castle ) and not of the Church, was altered to suit the Calvinistic worship; the altars were demolished, and the paintings and statues destroyed in December 1619.

After the battle of White Mountain, the archbishop and his chapter, as well as the Jesuits and other religious, returned to Prague.
