Cono (auxiliary bishop)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cono , also Kuno / Cuno or Keno († in September 1366 in Altenberg ) was titular bishop of Megara and a Cistercian monk . He worked as auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Cammin , in the Diocese of Hildesheim , in the Archdiocese of Cologne and in the Diocese of Liège .

Life

Since 1324 he was mentioned as auxiliary bishop in Hildesheim, 1326 in Cologne, 1329 again in Hildesheim and 1337 in Liège.

He appeared in the diocese of Cammin in 1335. Two documents have come down to us, which Bishop Cono issued on March 2 and 3, 1335 in the Dargun monastery . At that time Dargun belonged to the diocese of Cammin; Friedrich von Eickstedt was bishop at that time . With the first document, Bishop Cono certified the copies of two documents relating to the conferment of jurisdiction on the monastery. With the second document he confirmed that he had consecrated the churchyard, cloister and altars in Dargun Monastery. Since Bishop Cono referred to himself as "frater Cono" in the documents and the Dargun monastery was a Cistercian monastery , he too was likely to have been a Cistercian.

The same bishop's seal that is handed down on one of these documents was found in the reliquary tomb of the main altar of Güstrow Cathedral . This suggests that Bishop Cono could have consecrated the Güstrow Cathedral, which was completed after the nave was completed, in 1335.

On June 6, 1339, he dedicated a clock to the Cistercian Abbey of Altenberg .

On January 22, 1342 he was mentioned in Egmond as "Cunone Margaritense Episcopo". On March 18, 1342 he left the diocese of Utrecht.

He spent his twilight years in Altenberg Abbey, where he died in 1366 and was buried.

Bishop Cono appeared as "Magaricensis ecclesie episcopus". This should be related to the diocese of Megara in Greece. In contrast, the Pomeranian regional historian Martin Wehrmann referred it to the diocese of Makarska in Dalmatia (see list of the bishops of Salona ).
