Henry I, Bishop of Augsburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry I (d. 982) was the bishop of Augsburg from 973 to his death. He succeeded Saint Ulrich. Unlike under Ulrich, the diocese suffered under Henry's episcopate.
Henry aided the rebels against the Emperor Otto II. In 977, he took part in the War of the Three Henries as one of the three Henries. At an Easter court at Magdeburg in 978, he was imprisoned and remained so until July. After his liberation, he denounced the rebels and remained loyal to the king.
He bequeathed to his church his possessions at Geisenhausen.
