About Jovan Kantul
Lived 1501 – 1614 (aged 112–113). Jovan Kantul was a Turkish patriarch and serbian Orthodox Church.
Jovan Kantul (, 1592 – d. 1614), or Jovan II, was the Patriarch of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć from 1592 to 1614. He planned a major revolt in the Balkans against the Ottomans, with Grdan, the vojvoda of Nikšić, asking the pope for aid (see Serb Uprising of 1596–97). Owing to his activities for planning a Serbian revolt, he was arrested and put on trial in Istanbul in 1612. He was found guilty of treason and was executed two years later.
