"John of Arkel or Jan van Arkel (1314 – 1 July 1378 in Liège) was a Bishop of Utrecht from 1342 to 1364 and Prince-Bishop of ...
Liège from 1364 to 1378.
John was the son of John III, lord of Arkel, and his second wife Kunigonda of Virneburg. After the death of Bishop John of Diest in 1340 there was a problem with the succession. The chapters had elected John of Bronkhorst, but Pope Benedict XII had appointed Nicola Capocci. This was not accepted by the chapters, and Nicola was forced to withdraw. The eventual appointment of John of Arkel as bishop was due to the influence of Count William IV of Holland." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
