Siegfried II. Bock

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siegfried Bock , also Sifridus (Cifrid, Syuert) de Buck (van Boek, Buk) , Buche or Buch (* in Stolp ; † May 15, 1446 in Cammin ) was a German Roman Catholic theologian , Chancellor of King Erich I of Denmark, Norway and Sweden and as Siegfried II. Bishop of Cammin .

Life

Siegfried was born in Stolp. He came from the noble Buch family (also Bock, Buche, Buk), who had originally lived in the Altmark, since the 14th century in the Uckermark and Pomerania . A relationship with the Camminer bishop Nikolaus Bock von Schippenbeil , who ruled from 1398 to 1410, is not to be assumed, especially since the family name "Bock" is not documented for him in contemporary sources.

Siegfried was archdeacon of Pyritz and around 1420 vicar general of the diocese of Cammin under the bishop Magnus of Sachsen-Lauenburg . King Eric I of Denmark, Norway and Sweden from the Greifenhaus made him his chancellor . At his suggestion, the Camminer cathedral chapter elected him bishop in 1424. By Pope Martin V. He was born on May 10, 1424 providiert . To distinguish it from Bishop Siegfried I , who officiated from 1186 to 1191, he is commonly referred to as Siegfried II in the list of Bishops of Cammin .

Soon there was a resurgence of the dispute that broke out after Bogislaw VIII's tenure as administrator of the Camminer Stift (1386-1392) between this and the Camminer diocese and from Bogislaw's widow, Duchess Sophie, and her son Bogislaw IX. had been continued. Primarily it was about lands, castles and rights of use of the monastery area, but the actual point of contention was the dependency of the diocese on the sovereignty. The disputes were ended in 1436 with a contract in which, among other things, the express consent of the Pomeranian duke in the election of a new bishop was agreed. With the confirmation of the patronage of the Pomeranian dukes over the diocese of Cammin, the imperial immediacy of the diocese, recognized by King Sigismund in 1417, was given up. On June 10, 1435 he was incorporated as a procurator at the Council of Basel and thus openly sided with the council party. The Pomeranian dukes later joined in. The intention to travel to the council himself, as mentioned on various occasions in connection with the pledging of books from the Cammin cathedral chapter to the canons of Stettin and Cammin , did not exist, however.

The financial situation of the diocese during his tenure led him to repeatedly take out loans. In return , he pledged various uplifts, leases and other sources of income to the city of Kolberg . When he made claims to the Kolberger Saline and the port in 1442 , there was an open conflict with the city. In alliance with Duke Bogislaw IX. Kolberg was besieged. However, this repulsed all attacks. The conflicts between the diocese and the city continued during the tenure of his successor Henning Iven until 1468.

Siegfried II had a synod held in 1440 . He forbade various worldly pleasures and vicious debauchery, as well as the rampant legacy of clergymen on the deathbed of those passing away. If he violated the law, he was threatened with fines. In addition, the life of worship was regulated by determining the number of masses to be read for each priest.
