Marcin (died 1321) was the first auxiliary bishop of Kraków and a Auxiliary Bishop in Olomouc.

Biography

Marcin is considered the first auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Kraków.[1] He came from the Franciscan order.[2] Marcin was appointed bishop of Belgrade (Latin: Nanduralbensis) by Pope Nicholas IV around 1290.[3][4][5] However, due to the prevailing schism at the time, he was unable to assume the episcopate (also his successors, until 1380, did not actually exercise their functions).[5] Probably due to his links with the Franciscan order, Marcin moved (perhaps returned) further north in Europe.[3]

In 1303 documents record his activity in the Diocese of Kraków. In January 1303, together with the Bishop of Kraków Jan Muskata, he took part in a dispute in Stary Sącz over the right of patronage over the church in Łącko.[3][6] His stay in the Diocese of Kraków was probably quite short, for as early as 1306 he travelled with Bishop Antal from Csanad to Padua.[3][7] He later served as Auxiliary Bishop in Olomouc.[3] He died in a Franciscan monastery at Brno in Moravia in 1321.[7]
