Heinrich II of Stühlingen
Heinrich II. Von Stühlingen († February 23, 1165 in Würzburg ) was Bishop of Würzburg from 1159 to 1165 .
Heinrich II came from the von Stühlingen noble family from Baden . Henry II. Was initially Strasbourg cathedral canons and was on October 5, 1159 by the Bishop of Mainz Arnold of Selenhofen the bishop consecrated. When in 1161 he was faced with the problem of financing his contingents for Frederick Barbarossa's train to Milan and the diocese's funds were limited, he turned to the cathedral chapter , which forced it to weigh up the financial ruin and the emperor's disfavor . Heinrich II then borrowed money from the Jews and the monasteries of Ebrach and Wechterswinkel . In the quarrel of the emperor with Pope Alexander III. he stayed at Friedrich's side. Through his involvement in imperial politics, which resulted in his absence from the diocese due to his stay in Italy, he hardly left any traces in Würzburg. However, under him, as already practiced in the past, forgeries of royal documents with reference to Heinrich II. , Konrad II. And Heinrich III. , which should underline the legitimation of the Hochstift as the successor to the Duchy of Eastern Franconia. During this time Johannes von Würzburg also appeared.
