Cuneris / Cunerus Petri, also called: Koen Pieters (Brouwershaven, ca. 1530 - Cologne, February 15, 1580) was the last of the two bishops who knew the Bisdom Leeuwarden (1559-1579). He was appointed by Pope Pius V in 1569.
The Diocese of Leeuwarden was founded by the Spanish king Philip II, with the aim of pushing heresy better. Good luck did not have this plan. The first Leeuwarder bishop, Remigius Driutius, could not take possession of his seat, which was assigned to him in 1561, because his arrival was resisted by the states of Friesland, the Deputies and the clergy in Friesland. Petri succeeded - in support of Laurens Mets, Commissioner of Alva - to reach Leeuwarden. He took his entry into the Block of the Frisian capital.
The bishop began ambitiously in his work. He pronounced that all the churches of his diocese had to proclaim the rules of the Council of Trent. He also resurrected the cathedral Saint Vitus church in Oldehove, which fell to the image storm in 1566. However, during his short episcopate, Petri steadily resisted resistance. Finally, spirituality turned to him. Petri left the city in 1579 and settled in Cologne, where he died less than a year later. Source
