Conrad of Pfullingen
Conrad of Pfullingen, sometimes Cuno of Pfullingen[a] (1035/1040 – 1 June 1066), was the archbishop of Trier (as Cuno I) briefly in 1066.[1]
He belonged to a noble family of Pfullingen.[2] Prior to his elevation to the archbishopric he had been the provost of Cologne Cathedral.[1] His uncle, Archbishop Anno of Cologne, in a bid to consolidate the supremacy of his church over Trier, invested Conrad with the archbishopric at court in May 1066, without the consent of the people or clergy of Trier.[1] (Anno was the regent for the young Henry IV at the time.) On 17 May, on his way to Trier, Conrad was arrested by Count Theoderic, advocate of Trier. After a fortnight in prison, he was murdered by four of Theoderic's vassals at Ürzig on 1 June.[3][4] Nobody was ever punished for the murder, and the people of Trier elected Udo of Nellenburg as archbishop in Conrad's place.[1] In 1073, Theoderic went on a barefoot pilgrimage to Jerusalem to atone for his sin.[5]
