Bishop Of Worms
The Prince-Bishopric of Worms was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire. Located on both banks of the Rhine around Worms just north of the union of that river with the Neckar, it was largely surrounded by the Electorate of the Palatinate. Worms had been the seat of a bishop from Roman times. From the High Middle Ages on, the prince-bishops' secular jurisdiction no longer included the city of Worms, which was an Imperial Free City (the Free Imperial City of Worms) and which became officially Protestant during the Reformation. The prince-bishops however retained jurisdiction over the Cathedral of Worms inside the city. During the Worms massacre in 1096, Bishop Adalbert II attempted to protect the city’s Jewish community by sheltering them in his palace, but his attempt to protect them werre ultimately unsuccessful. In 1795 Worms itself, as well as the entire territory of the prince-bishopric on the left bank of the Rhine, was occupied and annexed by France. ...

Reichsfrei
In the Holy Roman Empire, imperial immediacy ( or ) was the status of an individual or a territory which was defined as 'immediate' () to Emperor and Empire () and not to any other intermediate authorities, while one that did not possess that status was defined as 'mediate' (). The possession of this imperial immediacy granted a constitutionally unique form of territorial authority known as "territorial superiority" () which had nearly all the attributes of sovereignty, but fell short of true sovereignty since the rulers of the Empire remained answerable to the Empire's institutions and basic laws. In the early modern period, the Empire consisted of over 1,800 immediate territories, ranging in size from quite large such as Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, and Brandenburg, down to the several hundred tiny immediate estates of the Imperial knights of only a few square kilometers or less, which were by far the most numerous. Acquisition The criteria of immediacy varied and classification ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burchard Of Worms
Burchard of Worms ( 950/965 – August 20, 1025) was the bishop of the Imperial City of Worms, in the Holy Roman Empire. He was the author of a canon law collection of twenty books known as the '' Decretum'', ''Decretum Burchardi'', or ''Decretorum libri viginti''. Early life Burchard was born on ''c''. 950–965 to a well-connected, wealthy family in the northern Hesse region of the Holy Roman Empire. He had two siblings: an older brother, Franco, who served as the Bishop of Worms from ''c''. 998–999, and a sister, Mathilda, who became the abbess of an unknown monastery near Worms in ''c''. 1010–1015. It is evident from the ''Vita Burchardi'', written by Ebbo/Eberhard of Worms in ''c''. 1025, that during the early life of Burchard his parents not only possessed "many properties and servants", but had local influence sufficient to directly position two of their sons to becoming confidants of the inner Imperial circle and Bishops of Worms. Burchard's family seems to have been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Henry of the Palatinate (German: ''Heinrich von der Pfalz'') (Heidelberg, 14 February 1487 – Ladenburg, 3 January 1552) was Bishop of Utrecht from 1524 to 1529, Prince-Bishop of Worms from 1524 to 1552 and Prince-Bishop of Freising from 1541 to 1552. Henry descended from the House of Wittelsbach and was a son of Philip, Elector Palatine. He was canon in Cologne before he was, at the recommendation of the Archbishop of Cologne, bishop of Utrecht elected by the chapters and burghers of Utrecht. But he lacked the support of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Charles II, Duke of Guelders, who made life difficult for him. In the bishopric, Henry faced a faction-struggle. He entertained the idea of building a fort inside the city of Utrecht to keep the citizens in check. This idea would later be realised by Charles V as the Vredenburg. When the resistance of the Utrecht citizens escalated to the point where they invited troops from Guelders to occupy the city, Henry had no choic ...

Matthew Of Kraków
Matthew of Kraków (c. 1335 – 5 March 1410) was a German- Polish scholar and priest of the fourteenth century. Early life He was born in Kraków, the son of a German immigrant town-clerk, but the view, once generally held, that he was descended from the Pomeranian noble family of Kraków, is now discredited (cf. Sommerfeld, ''Matthäus von Krakow'', 1891). His father was probably a German notary in Kraków. Entering the University of Prague, Matthew graduated bachelor of arts in 1355 and master in 1357, and later filled for several terms the office of dean in the same faculty. Theologian and diplomat A source from 1387 refers to Matthew as professor of theology, and one manuscript speaks of him as "city preacher of Prague".

Accepting an invitation from the University of Heidelberg, he joined its professorial staff in 1395, and a year later was appoin ...

Sede Vacante
In the Catholic Church, ''sede vacante'' is the state during which a diocese or archdiocese is without a prelate installed in office, with the prelate's office being the cathedral. The term is used frequently in reference to a papal interregnum occurring upon the pope's death or resignation. History Early in church history, the archpriest, archdeacon, and " of the notaries" in the papal court made up a regency council which governed the period. It was the obligation of the Camerarius (papal chamberlain), the head of the Camera Apostolica, to formally establish the death of the pope. Gradually, this led to the theory that the Camerarius, as the chief of the Roman Curia, should conduct normal business even after the death of the pope, and also conduct the burial and the preparation for the new election. This process was evident with Camerarius Boso Breakspeare. During the long of 1268 to 1271, the importance of the Camerarius was so clear that the Cardinals prepa ...
