Isaacus Rothovius (1 November 1572 – 10 February 1652) was a Swedish cleric known for his influential role as the Bishop of Turku in Finland from 1627 to 1652. Born in Småland, Sweden, he was the son of a farmer named Börje Larsson and had a twin brother, Jonas Rothovius, who later served as the Superintendent of Kalmar. Rothovius pursued an educational journey that led him to Uppsala, where he became a teacher to the Oxenstierna brothers and traveled to Germany for further studies. He obtained a Master of Philosophy degree in Wittenberg in 1602 and was ordained as a priest the same year.
