| Additional information |
Egbert of Andechs served as Bishop of Bamberg from 1203 until his death in 1237, a tenure disrupted by his forced exile after the 1208 assassination of King Philip of Swabia — a murder committed at Bamberg by Otto of Wittelsbach, an act that implicated Egbert through association with the Andechs family scandal that followed. He spent years at the Danish court of his nephew, King Valdemar II, before papal rehabilitation allowed his return. Deniers of his long episcopate are catalogued under Krug's Bamberg series with enough die variation to suggest production across multiple decades rather than a single mint campaign.
