Jean de Wachtendonck, Latinized Joannes (1592–1668) was the eighth bishop of Namur, in the County of Namur (now in Belgium). ==Life== Wachtendonck was born in Mechelen. He studied at Leuven University and graduated Licentiate of Theology in 1616. He became a canon of St Rumbold's Cathedral, an ecclesiastical councillor of the Great Council of Mechelen, vicar general and ecclesiastical councillor of the Brussels Council of State. In February 1634 he delivered a formal eulogy of Isabella Clara Eugenia (died December 1633) in the cathedral, published as ''Oratio funebris Isabellae Clarae Eugeniae Hispaniarum infantis''. In 1651 he was named bishop of Namur, but his installation was delayed until 1654 due to suspicions of Jansenism. In Namur he founded a diocesan seminary and held a diocesan synod for the reform of the clergy. He reported favourably to Pope Alexander VII on the cause for the beatification of the Martyrs of Gorcum. In April 1668 he succeeded Andreas Creusen as archbishop of Mechelen, but died in Brussels on the way to his new see.〔"Wachtendonck (Jean de)", ''Biographie Nationale de Belgique'', (vol. 27 ) (Brussels, 1938), 4–6.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean de Wachtendonck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
