Gebhard I (Bishop of Regensburg)

Gebhard I (Bishop of Regensburg)

Gebhard I (died 27 March 1023), called Gebhard "of Swabia", was the Bishop of Regensburg (or Ratisbon) from 994 until his death.

Following the death of Bishop Wolfgang, the cathedral canons elected Tagino to replace him and had the support of Henry II, Duke of Bavaria. Otto III, however, ignored the election and appointed his own royal chaplain, Gebhard, instead; he then took Tagino into his royal chapel. [Bernhardt, 101 and n62.]

During his episcopate, he founded the abbey of Pruhl and tried to revert the separation between the property of the diocese and that of the Saint Emmeram's, which his predecessor had effected. [Ibid.] This gave rise to much dispute. In 996, Otto heard Abbot Ramwold's complaint and summoned Gebhard, whom he made promise not to confiscate further property from Saint Emmeram's. He put the monastery under royal protection. He remained in conflict with monatery into the reign of the Emperor Henry II, however.

Gebhard also gained the right of coinage from the Otto III. On his death, he was succeeded by Gebhard II.
