#26 Bishop Kunibert: Priest, City Lord and Regent of the Frankish Empire
from The History of Cologne · host Willem Fromm
With the rise of the bishops also as secular rulers of Cologne, the history of Cologne increasingly becomes synonymous with the history of the diocese of Cologne. In the 7th century, Bishop Kunibert (ca. 600-664) in particular embodies this development. He is the city ruler, prince of the church, priest, head of the court of the King of the Franks, and at times even regent of the empire. More about Kunibert's remarkable career in this episode.
