Radbod from Trier
Radbod von Trier (also Radpod or Ratbod ; † March 30, 915 ) was Archbishop of Trier from 883 to 915 .
Radbod came from an Alemannic family and was probably trained in St. Gallen . He was then abbot of the Mettlach monastery . King Arnulf of Carinthia gave him the Abbey of St. Servatius in Maastricht in 888 and also the Abbey of Echternach in 892 . On April 8, 883 he was elected Archbishop of Trier. His main concern was the rebuilding of the Trier diocese after the Norman invasions of the year 882. Under Zwentibold , Ludwig the Child and Charles the Simpleserved Radbod as head of the law firm. On February 5, 898, King Zwentibold gave him an immunity privilege for the Trier church. Also in 898 he received the right from Zwentibold to mint his own coins. It is not known whether all of the subsequent bishops on Radbod minted coins. Another important diploma took place on January 23, 899, in which the obligation to host the Trier Church was lifted and its jurisdiction was expanded. In 899 he took in Regino von Prüm , who had to flee his abbey after disputes with the Eifel nobility. Radbod became an avid supporter of Regino. He entrusted the reconstruction of the devastated St. Martin Abbey in Trier. In 913, Karl gave Radbod the right to freely elect the Archbishop of Trier through the people and the clergy.
