Historical background
LIEGE - BISHOPRIC OF LIEGE - JOHN OF HEINSBERG
(1397-10/18/1459)
Born in 1397 to Count Jean de Heinsberg and Marguerite de Genappe. He was archdeacon of Hesbaye when, at the age of 23, he was elected on June 16, 1419, prince-bishop of Liège. He was confirmed in charge on September 10, 1419 by Pope Martin V. He took part in the crusade against the Hussites (Jean Hus, precursor of Protestantism) in 1420. On July 14, 1430, Jean de Heinsberg declared war on the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon, who had bought the county of Namur. The castle of Poilvache (county of Namur) falls and is demolished. Philip the Good inherits Brabant and becomes Duke of Brabant and Limburg. The Principality of Liège was surrounded and the prince-bishop signed an unfavorable peace (Treaty of Mechelen) on December 15, 1430. On March 31, 1455, Philippe le Bon imposed the abdication of Jean de Heinsberg, because he wanted to place a member of his family at the head of the Principality of Liège. Pope Calixte III confers the episcopal seat on Louis de Bourbon on March 30, 1456. Jean de Heinsberg dies at the Château de Curange on October 18, 1459.
