Heinrich von Trevejach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Trevejach († 1295 in Anagni ) was Bishop of Brixen .

Heinrich von Trevejach comes from a farming family from Trevejach near Villach . From 1275 to 1283 he was chaplain of the Salzburg Archbishop Friedrich II. Von Walchen and his envoy to King Rudolf . In 1285 he became chapter dean in Brixen as well as confidante and envoy of King Albrecht and in 1290 was in this capacity with Pope Nicholas IV.

After the death of Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg , Count Meinhard II occupied the Brixen monastery . The cathedral chapter proposed Meinhard's nephew, Otto von Ortenburg , as the new bishop of Brixen. The Pope refused this, however, and filled the bishopric himself with Heinrich von Trevejach and on December 2, 1290 granted him episcopal ordination.

Since Meinhard II did not accept Bishop Heinrich, the Pope banned him from church , which the provincial synod in 1292 extended to the entire ecclesiastical province. Bishop Heinrich had never been admitted to his diocese and moved to Rome as the envoy of King Adolf of Nassau in order to reach an alliance for the deposition of Meinhard. In 1295 Heinrich died at the papal court in Anagni.
