Dragonolf
Dracholf , also Drakolf and Dragulph , († 926 ) became Bishop of Freising after the devastating defeat of Bavaria against the Hungarians in 907 .
Dracholf, who comes from the East Franconian noble family of the Mattonen , was abbot of the Münsterschwarzach monastery before his appointment as Bishop of Freising . The bishop had Dracholf by King Konrad place Diebach (Neustadt) get paid. Dracholf succeeded Bishop Utto, who fell in the Battle of Pressburg . On July 30th 909 the Hungarians invaded Freising, on August 4th the churches of St. Stephen and St. Vitus.
His reputation as a "church molester" has to do with the economic plight of the diocese after the Hungarian invasions. In 926 Dracholf was killed on an army campaign against the Hungarians in the Danube vortex near Persenbeug .
