| Additional information |
Bruno of Carinthia was appointed Bishop of Würzburg by his cousin Emperor Conrad II in 1034, a nakedly political appointment that nevertheless produced a capable administrator and committed builder — Bruno oversaw major construction at the Würzburg cathedral. He died in 1045 at Pesendorf, crushed by a collapsing gallery during an imperial assembly, an accident that killed several members of the court simultaneously. The diocese's coinage under his episcopate reflects the minting rights granted to Würzburg bishops by the Ottonian and Salian rulers as instruments of regional fiscal control.
