Page "John of Bohemia" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
Like his predecessor Henry, he was disliked by much of the Czech nobility.
John was considered to be an " alien king " and soon gave up the administration of Bohemia and embarked on a life of travel, spending time in Luxembourg and the French court.
His travels took him to Silesia, Poland, Lithuania, Tyrol, Northern Italy and Papal Avignon.
A rival of King Władysław I the Elbow-high to the Polish crown, John supported the Teutonic Knights in the Polish – Teutonic War from 1326 to 1332.
He also made several Silesian dukes swear an oath of allegiance to him.
In 1335 in Congress of Visegrád, Władysław's successor King Casimir III the Great of Poland paid a significant amount of money in exchange for John's giving up his claim to the Polish throne.
