Piligrim (Pilgrim of Passau,Bishop of Passau. Piligrim was ambitious, but also concerned with the Christianization of Hungary.
He was educated at the
suffragans of Lorch, and the pallium
for himself. There is extant an alleged Bull of Benedict VI granting Piligrim's demands; but this is also the work of Piligrim, possibly a document drawn up for the papal signature, which it never received.
Piligrim converted numerous pagans in Hungary. He built many schools and churches, restored the
Rule of St. Benedict in Niederaltaich, transferred the relics of Maximilian of Tebessa from Altötting to Passau,[2] and held synods (983–991) at Ennsburg (Lorch), Mautern an der Donau, and Mistelbach. In the Nibelungenlied
he is lauded as a contemporary of the heroes of that epic.
