Biography
Despite the mediocre mind, greed and greed, Siegfried quickly reached the dignity of the archbishop ( 1059 ). In 1065 he made a pilgrimage to Palestine ; the following year, he formed an alliance with his former enemy, the Archbishop of Cologne Anno II , in order to overthrow Adalbert of Bremen at the Sejm in Tribury ; made a promise to Emperor Henry IV for tithing from the Thuringian churches, to dissolve his marriage with Bertha, which the pope opposed; on charges of simony, he was to go to Rome and cleanse himself there by church repentance.
Siegfried I presided over the Council of Worms , which deposed Gregory VII , but then he changed Henry IV and received forgiveness from the Pope. In 1077 he anointed Rudolf Schwabsky of anticorruption in Mainz , whose election he was particularly troublesome; in 1078 he was captured in the Battle of Mellrichstadt , remained in custody until 1081 . In the same year he crowned the second anti-king, Hermann Salm .
Archbishop Siegfried I died on February 16, 1084. He was buried in the Benedictine Abbey of Hasungen [1] . Vesilo became the new head of the Mainz Archdiocese .
