INTRODUCTION

 

 

A review of the families of the princes, dukes and counts who ruled Germany in medieval times would be incomplete without documents devoted to the major archbishoprics.  The bishopric of Trier, centred on the town of Trier north-east of Luxembourg, was elevated to the status of an archbishopric during the reign of Charles I King of the Franks in the late 8th century, with jurisdiction over the bishoprics of Metz, Toul and Verdun.  Under the terms of the 843 Treaty of Verdun, which settled the disputes between the sons of Emperor Lous I "le Pieux", Trier and its archbishopric fell within the kingdom of Lotharingia.  Along with the archbishops of Köln and Mainz, the archbishops of Trier played an important role in the election of successive kings of Germany.  In particular, the archbishop of Trier played a decisive role in the election of King Konrad III in 1138[1].  By the mid-12th century, the archbishops of Köln, Mainz and Trier had firmly established themselves as the spiritual representatives in the electoral process.  Electoral procedures, the unity of the seven electors including the three archbishops, and the right of election by the majority, were laid down definitively in the Golden Bull of 1356, which is described in some detail by Leuschner[2]. 

 

By the judicious acquisition of land, through purchase, donation and inheritance, the three archbishoprics of Köln, Mainz and Trier consolidated a powerful temporal, in addition to ecclesiastical, position of power.  The archbishopric of Trier held extensive territory along both sides of the river Rhine, stretching from the towns of Bonn and Coblenz in the north to Trier and Veldenz in the south, lying north-west of the counties of Sponheim and Zweibrücken.  In addition, it held numerous isolated territories scattered throughout the lower and middle Rhine basins as well as the Rheinland Pfalzgrafschaft.  It is likely that the archbishops of Trier were elected mainly from prominent noble families in Lotharingia and the middle Rhine area, although as will be seen below in the present document the precise family connections of many of the archbishops cannot be traced with certainty.  The suspicion is that the reigning archbishops frequently groomed their successors from among the members of their own family, often related through the female rather than the male line.  If sufficient information on family relationships was available in primary source documentation, it is expected that it would reveal extensive informal "dynasties" of archbishops which included a limited number of noble families.  In the case of the archbishopric of Köln, such family connections with noble families in the area of the lower Rhine basin, especially the comital families of Altena, Berg, Heinsberg, Hochstaden, Jülich, and Mark, can be demonstrated clearly.  In the case of the archbishopric of Trier, the available information is less extensive so the family connections do not emerge so clearly from the source material.  It is probable that a similar pattern would emerge in relation to the more important lower level ecclesiastical appointments within each archbishopric. 

 

The present document shows the archbishops of Trier between 791 and 1418.  The listing is not strictly chronological in the case of the incumbents which can be linked by family group.  It is hoped that later versions of the document will set out the bishops of the dioceses which fell under the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical province of Trier.
