Years: 1053 - 1053

Pope Benedict IX had made Herman II, Archbishop of Cologne, a cardinal around 1036, and had granted important privileges to the Church in Cologne.

Herman remains loyal to the Emperor Henry III during the revolt led by his nephew Cuno, or Conrad I of Bavaria.

He becomes in 1053 Archchancellor of the Regnum Italicum and protector of Brauweiler.

His claritas generis allows him to baptize and crown the German king Henry IV at Tribur, a privilege that is disputed by the Archbishop of Mainz Luitpold I.

Andrew of Hungary almost makes peace, but the rebellious Cuno convinces him otherwise.

Henry appoints his young son duke of Bavaria and goes hence to deal with the ongoing insurrection.
