History of the Bishopric 1216 1808 The Bishopric of Chiemsee was established by the Archbishopric of Salzburg Archbishop of Salzburg , Eberard II of Truchsees, Archbishop of Salzburg Eberard II of Truchsees , in 1215 after a large increase in size of the archdiocese on the islands of the Chiemsee, following the precedent set by his predecessor. Both the Holy Roman Empire Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope gave their support to the establishment of the bishopric in 1213 . All bishops of Chiemsee were selected by the Archbishops, and the bishops formed some of the most important supporters of the archbishops. Locally the real power in the bishopric rested in the archdeacons who supported by the Dukes of Bavaria prevented the bishops from residing in the bishopric. Therefore the Bishops never became prince bishops of the Empire, unlike most other ecclesiarchs. In 1808 the bishopric was abolished and the diocesan territories attached to Salzburg after the last bishop waived his rights. In 1817 , it passed to the Bishopric of Munich Freising . The bishopric was very small, consisting of 10 parishes when it was created, and 11 in 1804 . The most famous bishop was Berthold P rstinger ...

The Bishopric of Reval was created in Danish Estonia Duchy of Estonia Duchy of Estonia by Valdemar II of Denmark in 1240. Contradictory to canon law Valdemar II reserved the right to appoint the bishops of Reval to himself and his successor kings of Denmark.

During the era, the election of bishops was never established in Reval and the royal rights to the bishopric and to nominate the bishops was even included in the treaty when the territories of the Duchy of Estonia were sold to Teutonic Order in 1346. ref Skyum Nielsen pp. 113 115 ref Until 1374 the see was suffragan to the Diocese of Lund Archbishop of Lund after which it was transferred to the Archbishopric of Riga . ref name TEH cite book title A Treatise on Ecclesiastical Heraldry last Woodward first John authorlink coauthors year 1894 publisher W. & A.K.
