Background and early life
Friedrich von Pernstein was probably born around 1270. He came from the Medlow family, later known as the Pernštejn family after their principal seat, Pernštejn Castle. The family was an old noble family from Moravia in present-day Czech Republic. Friedrich von Pernstein’s niece, called Ofka or Euphemia, was abbess of the Franciscan abbey in Doubravník, which the family had founded. His father may also have been named Friedrich, as it is known that another Friedrich von Pernstein died in 1333. He appears to have maintained ties to his homeland throughout his life, and during his long residence in Avignon, he surrounded himself with compatriots from Bohemia.
He was educated, likely in Bologna, and at some point joined the Franciscan Order, rising to become a penitentiary at the papal curia in Rome during the papacy of Pope Benedict IX. His aristocratic family background was doubtlessly an asset in promoting his career.
