Hartwig of Salzburg

Saint Hartwig of Salzburg was the twenty-⁠first archbishop of Salzburg in Austria, from 991 until his repose in the year 1023 (on 5 December, according to Wikipedia). He was a younger son of the Bavarian count palatine Hartwig, of the Aribonid family. The Deeds of the Archbishops of Salzburg call him "a friend of divine praise".

He was ordained subdeacon on 23 December 970, deacon on 19 September 973 and priest on 18 September 985, and on 12 August 991 he was consecrated as successor to Archbishop Frederick. He took part in the Easter synod at Ingelheim that denied the validity of the election of Gerbert of Aurillac to the see of Reims. In 996 he accompanied the young king Otto III to Rome for his imperial coronation and took part in the election and ordination of Pope Gregory V. For this Otto granted him the right to hold a market and to mint coin at Salzburg. A book recording the gifts and transactions of his episcopate has survived.

After Otto he supported the election of Henry II, whom he accompanied to Mainz for his coronation in 1002 and then, in 1014, to the imperial coronation in Rome. In 1007 he was present at the founding of the diocese of Bamberg and in 1012 at the consecration of the new cathedral. In his later years he extended the choir of the cathedral and worked with Anastasius Aschericus, archbishop of Esztergom, on the Hungarian mission field. He is commemorated on 14 June as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
