Biography
Biography
Jakobeus was born to a bourgeois family in Kutná Hora, Bohemia, modern day Czech Republic. He completed his education at Charles University in Prague. In 1618 he was ordained a Protestant priest. Due to him being Protestant, he was forced to leave Bohemia when Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, a devout Catholic, expelled all Protestants from Bohemia following his victory at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. He chose to flee to Saxony, which was a mainly Protestant area. In 1624, he left Saxony and moved to his ancestral land, Slovakia, former Upper Hungary, where he spent the remainder of his life. While in Upper Hungary, now Slovakia he worked as a teacher and spiritual guide. He died in 1645 in Prešov, Slovakia, former Upper Hungary
