Everything about Udo Archbishop Of Trier totally explained
Udo of Nellenburg (c. 1030 –
11 November 1078) was the
Archbishop of Trier from 1066 until his death. He was an important mediator during the height of the
Investiture Controversy.
Udo was born in
Tübingen,
Swabia, as the eldest son of Count Eberhard of Nellenburg. After the murder of
Archbishop Cuno I of Trier, a foreigner, in early June 1066, the cathedral chapter elected Udo, one of their number to replace him.
In 1067, Udo received priestly consecration. Udo became a leading German voice in the campaign of
Pope Alexander II against
simony. Beginning in 1075, he became involved in the campaign against
lay investiture being waged by
Pope Gregory VII against the
Emperor Henry IV. He was looked upon as a mediator in the dispute. He was, however, unable to maintain the peace, but still worked at a resolution. In August 1077, he negotiated a reconciliation between emperor and pope and maintained his own good terms with the Holy See. In March 1078, he received a letter from the pope asking him to work further for the establishment of peace. He died in 1078 while besieging Tübingen with an imperial army. He was eventually buried in
Trier Cathedral.
