Tobiáš (Dobeš) z Benešova (Tobias of Benešov) was member of old Bohemian noble family Benešovci probably Silesian origin (Dolní Benešov near Opava). He lived in the 13th century (†1261). The whole family and its later progeny used CoA with symbol of sarcelled arrow ("odrivous" or "zavinutá strela" in Czech).
The Minorite convent was founded by a provost of Stará Boleslav Chapter Tobias of Bechyne in 1247. The convent was burnt down with whole town in 1294, therefore Tobias’s successor Milota of Dedice had the monastery building rebuilt and enlarged. The convent was damaged again during Hussite wars (1420) and eventually completely destroyed by Swedish army during Thirty years' war (1648). The chancel' fragment of the convent church from the end of 14th century is only remaining part of the Convent.
