Arnold von Sparneck († February 3, 1407 ) was canon in Bamberg and Würzburg .

Origin of Arnold

Arnold von Sparneck came from the Franconian knight family von Sparneck . Sparneck is now a municipality in the Hof district in Upper Franconia . He is the earliest von Sparneck who held a high spiritual office. Veit and Melchior von Sparneck , Canon of Regensburg , lived over a hundred years later .

Act as a clergyman

Arnold had been canon in Würzburg since July 27, 1369 . He studied from November 9, 1383 at the University of Vienna . On March 23, 1392 he also became canon in Bamberg .

As Bamberg canon, he signed the chapter and electoral statute for the election of the Archbishop of Bamberg, Albrecht von Wertheim , who held office in the Bamberg diocese until his death in 1421 .

He was also provost of St. Gumbertus in Ansbach (verifiably 1389-1395), pastor of Münchberg and until his death Kaplanatherr von Starkenschwind . Elsewhere he is also mentioned as archdeacon in the diocese of Würzburg in 1383 and, until his death, as a pastor in Zell near Münchberg .

research

Alban von Dobenck , who published the most detailed genealogical work to date on the von Sparneck family in two articles at the beginning of the 20th century , was also known to Arnold, but he did not succeed in including him in the family tree of the von Sparneck family. The personal data collected so far is very fragmentary and in some cases does not yet result in a chronological sequence. The tomb of Arnold von Sparneck is known neither in Bamberg nor in Würzburg.
