Johannes Abezier

Johannes Abezier (ca. 1380 – after 1424) was a provost and Roman Catholic bishop of the Teutonic Knights in Frauenburg (Frombork) and Ermland (Warmia).

Abezier was born in Thorn (Toruń) in the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights. 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 Frauenburg. He participated in a mission to Buda where King Sigismund was trying to settle the disputes between the order and Poland.

In 1414 Abezier 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.

Abezier remained bishop of Ermland until 1424.
