Lupold's epitaph on the Anhäuser Wall

Lupold von Bebenburg (* around 1297, † October 28, 1363 ) was a legal scholar, official of the Würzburg bishop and as Lupold / Leopold III. Bishop of Bamberg from 1353 to 1363.

Life

Lupold was a member of a Frankish family of imperial ministers who named themselves after the Bebenburg Castle near Gerabronn, the family of chefs from Rotenburg and Nortenberg . From 1316 he studied canon law in Bologna and was then canon in Bamberg and Mainz and provost in Erfurt. Most of the time he worked as a canon in Würzburg, including since 1328 with interruptions as an episcopal official. On January 12, 1353 he was elected Bishop of Bamberg. He rejected the election as Bishop of Constance in 1357. Lupold died of typhoid on October 28, 1363 , when the disease circumvented it during a famine.

Traditional scriptures

  • Tractatus de iuribus regni et imperii Romani. Dedicated to Archbishop Balduin von Trier (written around 1340).
  • Ritmaticum querolosum et lamentosum dictamen de modernis cursibus et defectibus regni ac imperii Romanorum. A time lament written in Leonine hexameters, addressed to princes and nobility. Translated into German as Von dem Romschen Riche eyn clage by Otto Baldemann.
  • Libellus de zelo christiane religionis veterum principum Germanorum. A warning addressed to princes and nobility.
  • Liber privilegiorum. As a record, begun in 1346, of the privileges granted to the diocese of Würzburg by the German rulers.
  • Liber de ortu. In 1349 the Liber privilegiorum was summarized as far as the introduction and chronic parts of the latter were concerned.

The Tractatus is Lupold's main writing, a book on the political theory of the rights of the Frankish-German king and empire . According to this, the Roman-German king, on the basis of his election by the electors , had rulership rights over Germany, Burgundy and Italy even without papal approval ; as emperor he had exercised protection over the pope and the church, but was open to other European kings except for himself the translatio imperii based role as justice of the peace was largely equated. Lupold thus provided the theoretical justification for the formation of the Kurverein von Rhense in 1338 and the formulation of the Golden Bull of 1356, which shaped the legal structure of the empire as one of the fundamental imperial laws for centuries.
