Frederick (died June 1004) was the Archbishop of Ravenna briefly from 1002 to 1004. [1]
Frederick, a Saxon, first appears as a collaborator of the Emperor Otto III in 1000, when he was present at the reconsecration of Pomposa Abbey in Ravenna. In April 1001 he was appointed a presbyter and a cardinal. In June 1002 he was sent as an imperial legate to the Synod of Pöhlde to mediate between the claims of Bernard, Bishop of Hildesheim, and Willigis, Archbishop of Mainz, concerning the control of the abbey of Gandersheim. In the fall of that year he was elected Archbishop of Ravenna (before 22 November). On 27 December 1002 he was acting metropolitan at the Second Council of Todi.
In 1004 Frederick supported Henry II of Germany for the Iron Crown of Lombardy, while the magnates elected Arduin. When Henry sent Otto I, Duke of Carinthia, to Italy with a force, Tedald of Canossa and Frederick joined him with armies to secure the Po Valley for Henry. Frederick, with his army, met Henry at Brescia in April, but took no more part in military actions, as he died in June.
The Ottonian dynasty was a Saxon dynasty of German monarchs (919–1024), named after three of its kings and Holy Roman Emperors named Otto, especially its first Emperor Otto I. It is also known as the Saxon dynasty after the family's origin in the German stem duchy of Saxony. The family itself is also sometimes known as the Liudolfings, after its earliest known member Count Liudolf and one of its primary leading-names. The Ottonian rulers were successors of the Germanic king Conrad I who was the only Germanic king to rule in East Francia after the Carolingian dynasty and before this dynasty.
Otto IV was one of two rival kings of Germany from 1198 on, sole king from 1208 on, and Holy Roman Emperor from 1209 until he was forced to abdicate in 1215. The only German king of the Welf dynasty, he incurred the wrath of Pope Innocent III and was excommunicated in 1210.

The see was founded in 967 by Emperor Otto I at the same time in the same manner as those of Meissen and Zeitz, all suffragan dioceses of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg as part of a plan to bind the adjacent Slavic ("Wendish") lands in the Saxon Eastern March beyond the Saale River more closely to the Holy Roman Empire.
