Hildebold von Wunstorf
Hildebold von Wunstorf (* unknown; † October 11, 1273 in Bremen , also Hildbold ) was Archbishop of Bremen from 1258 until his death .
Life
He was a son of Count Hildebold II of Wunstorf and Hedwig of Oldenburg, daughter of Moritz I. He has been named as the Bremen Canon since 1241 , and since 1250 as Archdeacon of Rüstringen .
Bremen collegiate feud
Hildebold was elected in a mixed election. The Bremen cathedral chapter stood mostly on his side, the Hamburg cathedral chapter and some Bremen canons elected the provost Gerhard von der Lippe, a great-nephew of the late Bishop Gebhard II. Zur Lippe . Gerhard had the support of his uncle, the Paderborn bishop Simon , who as coadjutor Gebhard II had the castles Langwedel and Vörde in his possession. However, Hildebold was able to get the two castles into his possession with the help of the ministerial and for a payment of 800 marks. With the help of the Stedinger, Simon continued to advance against Hildebold until he suffered a complete defeat in the battle of Munderloh against Hildebold, who was militarily supported by his Oldenburg relatives. After Hildebold came into possession of the diocese, he immediately traveled to Rome, where he was able to successfully assert himself against his opposition. On April 17, 1259 he received the consecration and the pallium from Pope Alexander IV .
Political activity
He got into a dispute with the city of Bremen due to the construction of Versfleth Castle . The people of Bremen accused him of threatening the free navigation on the Weser with this castle. The castle was conquered and razed by the people of Bremen in 1262, and Hildebold had to assure the people of Bremen in a contract dated August 14, 1262 that no more castles would be allowed between Bremen and the mouth of the Weser.
He also got into a dispute with Hamburg after granting Stade customs and stacking rights. The dispute was decided in favor of Hamburg, as a privilege of Emperor Frederick I was confirmed, which granted Hamburg ships duty-free on the Elbe. The attempt to curtail the independence of the Hamburg cathedral chapter also failed. Pope Clement IV issued several decrees which confirmed the independence of the Hamburg cathedral chapter.
After the Wildeshaus line of the Oldenburg family died out in 1270, Hildebold acquired the county of Wildeshausen , which from then on remained in the hands of Bremen .
death
Hildebold died in Bremen on October 11, 1273 and was buried in Bremen Cathedral. He was followed by Giselbert von Brunkhorst , a cousin on his mother's side.
