Gebhard I, Bishop of Regensburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gebhard I, called Gebhard of Swabia, was the bishop of Regensburg (or Ratisbon) from 994 to 27 March 1023. He succeeded Saint Wolfgang.
During his episcopate, he founded the abbey of Pruhl and tried to revert the separation between the property of the diocese and that of the St. Emmeram's Abbey, which his predecessor had effected. This gave rise to much dispute.
He also gained the right of coinage from the Emperor Otto III. On his death, he was succeeded by Gebhard II.
