In 1095 he became Vogt of Hirsau and succeeded his father in Calw when the latter retired to the monastery in 1094/95. Godfrey was initially a follower of Emperor Henry IV, but from 1105, the year of the dispute over the throne between Henry IV and his son Henry V, he was one of the latter's most important supporters and advisors. Godfrey of Calw took part in the negotiations at San Maria in Turri and Ponte Mammolo during Henry V's first campaign in Italy in 1111, and later in the negotiations in Mouzon in 1119 and in those leading to the Concordat of Worms in 1122, which he co-signed.

Counts Palatine Of The Rhine
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . Especially in earlier medieval periods the term often implied not only a certain status, but also that the ''count'' had specific responsibilities or offices. The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with some countships, but not all. The title of ''count'' is typically not used in England or English-speaking countries, and the term ''earl'' is used instead. A female holder of the title is still referred to as a ''countess'', however. Origin of the term The word ''count'' came into English from the French ', itself from Latin '—in its accusative form ''comitem''. It meant "companion" or "attendant", and as a title it indicated that someone was delegated to rep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

On Godfrey's death in 1131, a dispute opened up between Godfrey's nephew Adalbert and Welf over the inheritance of Calw. Welf was an uncle to the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (Barbarossa's mother, Judith, was Welf's sister). Welf himself was only a decade or less older than his nephew, during whose reign most of Welf's activity occurred. When Conrad III of Germany, Frederick's uncle, confiscated t ...

Bruno (archbishop Of Trier)
Bruno (died 1124) was the archbishop of Trier from 1101 until his death. He was a relative of the Emperor Henry IV and a priest of Trier Cathedral prior to his election.
