Solomon III, bishop of Constance, is a warlike prelate, originally an ally of both King Louis the Child and Count Palatine Erchanger in the wars for the Swabian dukeship against the Burchards.
He had been influential in the execution of Burchard I in 911, but had left his alliance with Erchanger when the latter allied with King Conrad I.
Erchanger had even imprisoned Solomon in 914.
Conrad, however, supports the bishop and frees him.
Burchard II, who has allied himself with king Conrad I, defeats his rivals for the rule of Alamannia in a battle at Wahlwies in the Hegau in 915.
Conrad will later have Erchanger beheaded.
