John VII of Hoya (died 11 June 1535, fell in battle near Assens on Funen in Denmark) was a German count and army commander in the service of Lübeck and Sweden. His parents were Count Jobst I of Hoya (1466–1507) and Irmgard of Lippe (1469–1524). == Life == On 15 January 1525, he married Margareta Eriksdotter Vasa, the widow of Joakim Brahe (d. 1520 during the Stockholm Bloodbath), and sister of the King Gustav I of Sweden. In 1525, he was appointed governor of Vyborg and in same year, he renounced his rights on Hoya, in favor of his brothers, in exchange for guilders. In 1533, he was involved in a conspiracy against the King. The conspiracy failed, and John VII had to flee to Tallinn. He later returned to Germany and became the chief military commander of Lübeck. During the Count's Feud, he fought in Denmark against Christopher of Oldenburg. He attempted to occupy the island of Funen, however, his army was trounced at Mount Ochsenberg, near Assens, by a Danish army led by Johann Rantzau. John VII fell in that battle, as did many other noblemen, among them Nicholas of Tecklenburg,〔August Karl Holsche: ''Historische-topographisch-statistische Beschreibung der Grafschaft Tecklenburg (einigen speciellen Landesverordnungen mit Anmerkungen, als ein Beytrag zur vollständigen Beschreibung Westphalens. )'', p. 62 (Online )〕 the Burgrave of Dohna, and Gustav Trolle, the Bishop of Uppsala. 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「John VII of Hoya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
