Konrad von Friedberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad von Friedberg ( Czech Konrád z Frydberka ; † after 1247 ) was Bishop of Olomouc .

Life

Konrad came from the von Friedberg family and was canon of Hildesheim . After the Archbishop of Mainz Siegfried von Eppstein , whose ecclesiastical province also included Bohemia and Moravia , had not recognized Wilhelm , who had been elected by the Olomouc cathedral chapter , he invoked his right of occupation and appointed Konrad von Friedberg as the new bishop of Olomouc in 1241.

King Wenceslaus I agreed to this appointment - presumably after the influence of Konrad's brother Hoger, who held a court office - to. Since the cathedral chapter wanted to enforce its candidate Wilhelm, it complained to the Pope, who thereupon asked the dean of the Wroclaw cathedral chapter to investigate and demanded an agreement or the arrangement of a new election. Since the Pope died shortly afterwards, there was no further change.

In March 1243, Konrad held a diocesan synod in Pustimir and issued a certificate for the Louka monastery ( Klosterbrück ). In the same year the new Pope Innocent IV asked Konrad von Friedberg through the Prague bishop Nikolaus von Újezd , the Prague provost and the Břevnov abbot to appear in Rome within three months. Since Konrad did not react, the Pope commissioned the provosts of Prague and Leitmeritz in 1245 to ensure that the elected elector Wilhelm and the members of the Olomouc cathedral chapter were given back their benefices that had previously been withdrawn from them. In addition, the abbots of the Premonstratensian monastery Gradisch and the Benedictine monastery in Braunau were supposed to suspend Konrad by papal mandate.

After the Pope succeeded in persuading the elector Wilhelm to resign at the First Council of Lyon in the same year , he gave the diocese to the papal chaplain Bruno von Schauenburg , who, however, did not obtain the approval of King Wenceslas.

In 1247 King Wenceslas moved Bishop Konrad to resign, and he was awarded possessions at Kelč ( Keltsch ) and Troppau as well as an annual pension. After all, Bruno von Schauenburg became the bishop's successor. Nothing is known about Konrad's further life. He died after 1247.
