Ulrich Prustl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Prustl ( also Ulrich von Wien ; † May 18, 1417 ) was Bishop of Brixen .

Ulrich Prustl came from a middle-class Viennese family. Presumably to give the appearance of aristocratic descent, he used the suffix "von Wien". He owed his education to the Brixen bishop Friedrich von Erdingen . He became notarius cancellariae of Duke Leopold and pastor of Gratwein and applied for a canonical in Passau . In 1380 he finally became canon in Brixen, in 1394 chamber clerk Duke Albrechts and in 1395 chancellor of Duke Leopold IV. After Bishop von Erdingen renounced the diocese of Bressanone at Leopold's insistence, Pope Boniface IX made Prustl at Leopold's instigation . on August 12, 1396, the diocese transferred, but only on October 2, 1401 the Regalia were awarded to him.

Ulrich Prustl retained his office as bishop. Until his consecration and during his travels on behalf of the duke, he transferred the administration of the diocese to Georg von Gufidaun. In 1400 he first granted a Jew the privilege of being a pawnbroker and lending bank, and in 1407 he confirmed Brixen town charter. In the throne dispute between King Ruprecht of the Palatinate and King Wenzel , Prustl sided with Ruprecht.

During a stay in the foothills, Bishop Ulrich was arrested and released by Duke Friedrich IV for unknown reasons after he had made a promise of loyalty to the Habsburgs.

Ulrich Prustl died on May 18, 1417, his tombstone is on the facade of the Brixen Cathedral.
