Life

Heinrich Sorbom came from the Sorbom / Sorbon family who lived in Elbing. He studied at Charles University in Prague until 1364 . From 1365 he belonged to the court of the Roman-German Emperor Charles IV , who came from the Luxembourg family. First was a court recorder and of 1366 to August 1373 as a private secretary working.

When the bishop of Warmia, John II Stryprock, died on September 1, 1373, Heinrich Sorbom received the sacrament of episcopal ordination from Pope Gregory XI on September 5, 1373 in the Papal Palace in Avignon , where the seat of the Pope was at that time . The bishop's residence was in Heilsberg. The Principality of Warmia was the secular rule of the Bishops of Warmia in their capacity as princes of Warmia within the Teutonic Order State . The Teutonic Order was a patron of the diocese, but only took care of external representation, military defense and the right of nomination for some chapter lords. During the tenure of Bishop Heinrich III. Sorbon was Winrich von Kniprode from 1351 to 1382 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. In the course of the forced Christianization of the pagan Prussians in Galinden , the southern chamber offices of Allenstein , Wartenburg , Seeburg , Rößel and Bischofsburg were formed and repopulated. In addition to the Prussian villages, there were new colonists founded.
