Bruno from Calw
Bruno von Calw (* before 1070; † 1109 ) was the imperial counter-bishop of Metz .
He was born as the son of Count Adelbert II of Calw († 1099) and his wife Wiltrud of Lorraine (around 1040/45, † 1093), a daughter of Duke Gottfried III. of the bearded of Lorraine . In the Hirsau privilege of 1075, Adalbert III, Gottfried , Count Palatine near Rhine (1113–1131) and two sisters, Uta and Irmengard, are named as siblings . His father was the nephew of Pope Leo IX.
Around the middle of 1084, Emperor Heinrich IV returned from Italy to the northern part of the empire. In Mainz he enforced his claim to investiture at the beginning of October 1084 with the appointment of Wezilos as Archbishop of Mainz . Then he turned against Bishop Hermann von Metz . Hermann von Metz had joined a coalition against Heinrich IV in the investiture dispute and supported the anti-king Hermann von Salm . Bishop and city submitted to the approaching emperor. Nevertheless, Hermann was removed from office at a Mainz synod in May 1085 and Bruno von Calw was installed as bishop of Metz against Hermann. However, Bruno could not hold out for long and was driven out by the Metz population around 1089.
