Udo von Nellenburg
Udo von Nellenburg (* around 1030/35; † November 11, 1078 in Tübingen ) was Archbishop of Trier from 1066 until his death .
Life
After the assassination of the foreign Archbishop Kuno I von Pfullingen in 1066, the Trier cathedral chapter elected Udo von Nellenburg, one of its own members, as the new Archbishop of Trier.
Udo von Nellenburg came from an Upper Swabian count dynasty of the Counts of Nellenburg and is the eldest son of Count Eberhard VI. from Nellenburg . He was ordained bishop around 1067 . He was able to successfully refute the accusation of simonist machinations on the occasion of his election against Alexander II during a visit to Rome the following year.
From 1075 he experienced the investiture controversy between Pope Gregory VII and King Henry IV at close range and was always a sought-after mediator between all fronts. Udo, however, no longer lived to see peace between the papacy and the empire. In August 1077 he was still negotiating with the followers of the anti-king Rudolf to strike a fair balance, he remained with the Roman Pontiff and his lieutenants in combination and received in March 1078 from the Pope a letter with the request to continue working for the restoration of peace to act . Archbishop Udo died in King Henry IV's army during the siege of Tübingen . He found his final resting place in the now completed Trier Cathedral .
