# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John of Nepomuk was a clergyman in fourteenth-century Bohemia who sided with Archbishop Jan of Jenštejn in a clash with the crown. That loyalty cost him: on 20 March 1393, King Wenceslaus IV had him thrown into the Vltava River. In the decades after, a cult formed around his death, fed by fantastical hagiographies and reports of miraculous healings. The church canonized him in 1729, casting him as a martyr of the Seal of the Confessional. Today he stands as patron against calumnies, floods, and drowning — a medieval execution turned into sacred legend.
