He acquired his baccalaureate in Prague in 1393, and his magister in 1401. Later he acted as Doctor Decretorum and Auditor Rotae. In 1411, he became provost in the cathedral of Frombork. He participated in a mission to Ofen where King Sigismund was trying to settle the disputes between the order and Poland.
In 1414 he accompanied the archbishop of Riga, Johann von Wallenrodt, to the Council of Kostnitz. In the same year he was awarded the bishop's see of Ermland. On 13 October 1415 he participated once more in a mission to settle conflicts between the order and Poland, this time in Wileny.
He remained bishop of Ermland until 1424.
