Heinrich V. Schenk von Reicheneck
Heinrich V. Schenk von Reicheneck († February 10, 1344 in Nuremberg ) was Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt from 1329 to 1344.
origin
According to Wendehorst (p. 158), the family originally came from the Lower Maing area , until they moved into the Staufer ministry and named themselves after Reicheneck Castle near Hersbruck . There they belonged to the retinue of the Counts of Hirschberg . Heinrich's uncle, Werntho Schenk von Reicheneck, was in Bamberg almost simultaneously as a prince elect .
Life
As Regensburg canon Heinrich V. Schenk received from Reicheneck in 1327 from Pope Johannes XXII. the order to take action against forgers of papal documents. He fought for Frederick the Beautiful at Gammelsdorf and Mühldorf .
After the death of his predecessor Friedrich III. von Leuchtenberg , the cathedral chapter had agreed with Ludwig the Bavarian not to elect anyone as bishop without his consent. The Pope-loyal Heinrich V was therefore initially by Pope Johannes XXII. used. The cathedral chapter reacted by appointing procurators , namely in 1329 with cathedral dean Konrad von Stauff and in 1330 with Berthold von Hagel. In March 1330 Heinrich approached Ludwig and he moved into Eichstätt. In the struggle between spiritual and secular power, he received the regalia from the emperor in 1334 ; the Pope responded with his excommunication . The conflict between Emperor and Pope led to the Rhense Kurverein in 1338 . In these troubled times, Henry V tried to pay off the diocese's debts. He pledged the Eichstatt enclaves Schweinfurt and Königshofen in Grabfeld to the Ebrach monastery , and Abenberg castle and town to Burkard von Seckendorff -Jochsberg. Around 1340 he had the town of Herrieden walled by demolishing the eponymous castle Reicheneck . Due to ongoing tensions with the cathedral chapter and the city of Eichstätt, his power waned from 1340 onwards, and important tasks were taken over by his later successor Albrecht and Raban Truchseß von Wilburgstetten . He was buried in Engelthal Abbey .
