Peder Jensen Lodehat

Peder Jensen Lodehat (died 21 October 1416) was the bishop of the Diocese of Aarhus and a significant political figure in Denmark during the reign of Queen Margrete I. Lodehat was originally from a minor noble family in Zealand but made a career in the Catholic Church as bishop of a total of 3 dioceses.

Lodehat also had a central role in the creation of the Kalmar Union and may have authored the founding documents.

In his new position he advocated strongly to have queen Margrethe I appointed the fuldmægtige formynder (all-powerful protector) of the realm.

When Margrethe I died Lodehat had her body moved to Roskilde Cathedral.

In his last years he supported King Eric of Pomerania's policies towards Schleswig.
