General Note
The Franciscan house of Amberg was founded by St John of Capistrano in 1452; it was dissolved in 1555 during the Reformation. In 1624 the convent was restored by pope Urban VIII at the request of the Emperor. The pope did not return the convent to the Strasbourg Observants but gave it to the recently created Bavarian province of Reformed Franciscans.
