Konrad von Tegerfelden
Konrad von Tegerfelden (died 19 February 1233) was the
bishop of Constance (as Konrad II)[1] from 1208 until his death. He belonged to the noble Tegerfelden family, being the son of Luitpold II and Hedwig.[2]
Konrad is first attested in 1176 as a
expedition to Rome to be crowned emperor. In 1212, the citizens of Constance forced him to open the city to Frederick of Sicily, Otto's rival for the German crown. For its support, the city obtained privileges from Frederick at the expense of episcopal authority. Nonetheless, Konrad was a frequent visitor at Frederick's court.[2]
Konrad attended the
deaneries.[2]
