Arnold von Eltz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnold von Eltz († 1330 ), was a Roman Catholic clergyman, from 1324 until his death Bishop of Cammin in Pomerania .

He came from the Moselle native noble family Eltz and was a member of the Dominican order . He was canon of the Trier cathedral chapter and worked at the curia as papal penitentiary .

After the previous Bishop of Cammin, Conrad IV , died, Pope John XXII. him in 1324 as the new bishop of Cammin. He received the episcopal ordination through Guillaume Pierre Godin , the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina.

In Pomerania, of course, the Camminer cathedral chapter had its own candidates for the office of bishop. At first it probably chose its cathedral dean Johannes Hacke , who later became bishop of Verden, and then Ludwig von Henneberg , son of the influential governor of the Mark Brandenburg, Berthold VII. In this uncertain situation, Arnold von Eltz did not go to his diocese until October 1327 . He confirmed the privileges of the city of Kolberg , the most powerful city in the abbey area. But Arnold von Eltz was faced with opposition in the Cammin cathedral chapter, in the nobility of the monastery area and in the cities of Cammin and Köslin . In addition, Nicholas V , the antipope supported by the Emperor, appointed Heinrich von Babenberg Bishop of Cammin in January 1329.

Bishop Arnold died in 1330. After his death, the Camminer cathedral chapter elected Friedrich von Eickstedt as bishop, who was then appointed by the Pope.
