- "Eberhard was Archbishop of Salzburg, Austria.
Eberhard was born to a noble family of Nuremberg, Germany; he became a Benedictine in 1125 at Pruffening, Germany. Later he was made Abbot of Biburg near Regensburg. In 1146 Pope Innocent II appointed him Archbishop of Salzburg.
He rose to fame as a mediator when Pope Alexander III was faced with the “Investiture Controversy”, led by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and antipope Victor IV. Eberhard was one of the most able and most holy of the prelates of his age. He died in 1164, at the age of seventy-nine, returning from another peace keeping mission." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.02.2022) - Entity Encoding
