Last updated

Biography

Petrus, from 1257 to 1264, exercised the office of a canon in Breslau, and at the same time served as the courtmaster of the Duke Vladislav of Silesia. In 1265 he accompanied him to study in Padua, where both received the academic degree of master's degree. In the same year Vladislav was elected bishop of Passau, and half a year later archbishop of Salzburg. Finally, on 24 November, Pope Clement IV, who had reserved the seat of both bishoprics, appointed Peter as Bishop of Passau.

In 1267 Peter mediated the conflict between King Ottokar of Bohemia, who occupied the city of Passau in 1266, and Henry, the Duke of Lower Bavaria. In May 1267 he took part in a synod in Vienna. On 11 June 1267, he gave his former colleague, Vladislav, the priestly ordination, and the following day the ordination.

In 1274 he called for a diocesan synod to Passau, and in October he took part in a provincial synod in Salzburg, which confirmed and extended the resolutions of Vienna. In the same year, he moved from Ottokar to the side of King Rudolf of Habsburg, which resulted in extensive privilege confirmations, including the preservation of the Innnoll at Obernberg. Peter built the first bridge in Passau.

Ulrich III was the Lord in the March of Carniola from c. 1249 and Duke of Carinthia from 1256 until his death, the last ruler from the House of Sponheim. His rule had long-lasting consequences. In Carniola, he acquired the former Meranian possessions, thus becoming the first undisputed princeps terrae, provincial lord or landgrave, creating the power and legal basis of the future Duchy of Carniola. The center of his original Carniolan possessions, Ljubljana, became the new administrative center and thus the provincial capital, as well as the center of Ulrich's power. In Carinthia, which he took over after his father's death, his seal became the coat of arms of Carinthia up to today. Despite his attempts to secure the vast Babenberg inheritance through two marriages, first to Agnes of Merania, widow of the last Babenberg duke Frederick II of Austria, and then to Frederick's niece Agnes of Baden, Ulrich remained childless. After a short interregnum by his younger brother Philip of Spanheim, patriarch of Aquileia, the House of Spanheim went extinct, and all of Ulrich's possessions were inherited by his cousin Ottokar II of Bohemia.
