Jan Lutek (d. 1471) was a Polish diplomat and clergyman. He was Bishop of Kraków (1464-1471) and Vice-Chancellor to the Crown.[1]
Lutek was born in Brzezia. His family claimed the Doliwa crest.[2] Around the beginning of the Thirteen Years' War, Lutek was sent as a diplomat to the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire to discourage support for the Teutonic Knights.[3] In May 1454, he again visited the Diet to warn of the Ottoman conquest of Moldavia, which he claimed threatened Poland and Hungary.[4]
In March 1466, as Bishop of Kraków, Lutek issued an indulgence that offered remission to recipients who carried out a series of prayers and other religious activities.[5] He died in 1471. Biographer Stanisław Karwowski mentions that Lutek had a temper but was generous to the poor.[1]
