About this person

Abraham was the bishop of Freising from 957 until his death. Little is known of his background or his life before he became bishop, but he was probably a scribe at the court of Otto I. As bishop, he was active in expanding the diocese's property, library holdings and spiritual jurisdiction, especially into Slavic territory. The Freising monuments attest his concern for the evangelization of the Slavs. He shared the regency of the Duchy of Bavaria during the minority of Duke Henry II and oversaw the education of Henry's son, the future King Henry II.
