Landulf of Milan (Bishop of Brixen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Landulf of Milan (* around 1245; † between October 4, 1300 and March 26, 1301) was Bishop of Brixen .

Landulf came from Milan and was chaplain and doctor in the service of King Rudolf , provost of Worms and finally personal doctor of King Adolf von Nassau for 18 years .

After the Bishop of Bressanone Heinrich von Trevejach died at the papal court, Pope Boniface VIII reserved the right of a replacement. The Pope renewed the ban on Count Meinhard II and on September 30, 1295 appointed Landulf as the new Bishop of Brixen. At that time he held the offices of provost of Worms and provost of the St. Walpurgis monastery in Weilburg .

Meinhard II succeeded in winning Landulf for himself and thus breaking the front of his enemies, but Meinhard died shortly afterwards. The Pope asked Meinhard's sons to return all Brixen possessions. In 1296 Landulf received all goods back and had them administered by Brixen ministers. In 1299 he was able to take possession of his diocese after his episcopal ordination in Rome.

When Landulf wanted to take action against the way of life of some canons, he came into conflict with his chapter and was reported to the archbishop for waste. Until the end of the investigation in 1299, he was not allowed to dispose of his goods. The diocese was deeply in debt and had to take out loans. Since Landulf did not repay on time, he fell into excommunication. Between October 1300 and March 1301, Bishop Landulf was murdered after making himself extremely unpopular with his methods of recovering church goods.

Since he was banned, he was not buried in church until 20 years after his death.
