| Additional information |
Bishop Haimon (or Haimo) held the see of Constance from 1022 to 1026, a tenure short enough that his coinage issues are correspondingly scarce. Constance was one of the wealthiest and most politically complex bishoprics in the Reich, sitting at the intersection of royal, papal, and local noble pressures — but Haimon's reign predates the worst of the Investiture Controversy by several decades, placing this issue in a period of relative episcopal autonomy under Henry II and the early reign of Conrad II.
