Life

Eckart came from the family of the Lords of Pernegg , a branch of the Styrian Gundakare. He is documented as the Salzburg canon , from 1368 as cathedral curator.

During the Great Western Schism he stood on the side of the Roman Pope Urban VI. He was thus in opposition to the Salzburg Archbishop Pilgrim II of Puchheim , who supported the Avignon Pope Clement VII . After Archbishop Pilgrim was held captive in Raitenhaslach by Duke Friedrich von Bayern-Landshut in 1387 during the city ​​war , Eckart belonged to the opposition group of cathedral capitulars who had fled to Burghausen . After the archbishop's release in 1388, Eckart submitted to the archbishop in order to be released from the ban .

After the death of the Chiemsee bishop Georg von Neuberg , Archbishop Pilgrim von Puchheim appointed Eckart von Pernegg as his successor in 1393. In 1398 Pope Boniface IX presented him . the Salzburg official and vicar general Engelmar Chrel as coadjutor to the side. Eckart died a year later. His burial place is not recorded.
