| Additional information |
Berthold von Henneberg served as Archbishop of Mainz from 1484 until his death in 1504, and his tenure coincided with one of the more consequential moments in late-medieval German constitutional history. He was the principal architect of the Reichsreform of 1495 — the Imperial Diet at Worms that produced the Ewiger Landfriede, the perpetual public peace that formally banned private feudal warfare across the Empire. This schilling was struck in the same year those negotiations concluded.
Mainz held the first seat among the ecclesiastical electors, giving Henneberg unusual political leverage throughout the reform process.
