Burchard of Worms
Burchard of Worms ( 950/65 – August 20, 1025) was the Roman Catholic bishop of Worms in the Holy Roman Empire, and author of a canon law collection of twenty books, known as ''Decretum Burchardi'', also ''Decretum'', or ''Collectarium canonum''. 'Decretum' in English means decree, decision, principle, statute, and doctrine.〔http://translate.google.com/ From Latin to English〕
==Life==
Burchard was born into a wealthy family in the Rhenish Hesse region of the German Empire bordering Lotharingia. As a young boy Burchard was sent to the town of Koblenz, where he was entered into the monastic school of either St Florin or St. Kastor to be raised a canon. He was later ordained as a deacon by Archbishop Willigis of Mainz, and was eventually elevated to primate of Mainz. He had two siblings; an older brother, Franco, who was the Bishop of Worms from 989 to 999, and a sister, Mathilda, who became the Abbess of an unknown monastery close to Worms at some point around 1010–1015. Upon the death of Burchard's brother Franco in 999, Emperor Otto III appointed Burchard as the bishop of Worms in the year 1000, an elevation confirmed by Willigis at Kirchberg within days. In the ''Vita Burchardi'' by Ebbo/Ebberhard of Worms (c. 1025), we are told that, initially Otto had sought to elevate one of his two chaplains, Herpo of Halberstadt and Rako of Bremen to the episcopate, going so far as to give each of them ‘the pastoral staff as they lay in bed gravely ill’. But both of them died before they could be anointed. Otto had also offered Worms to the renowned pastor simply known as Erpho. But within three days of becoming bishop, Erpho was dead from unknown causes and was quickly replaced by a man called Razo, who killed himself at Chur in Switzerland within a short period of time. The same account also indicates that Worms was in disrepair, and regularly attacked by both wolves and robbers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/1025burchard-vita.html )〕
Burchard oversaw the rebuilding of the walls of Worms, the creation of many monasteries and churches, and took part in the destruction of the fortifications of Otto I, Duke of Carinthia. Duke Otto was believed to be housing criminals, and was an enemy of Burchard's. According to Burchard's biographer, "many limbs were hacked off and many murders occurred on both sides" of the conflict. Burchard adopted a child from the enemy household, who would grow up to become Emperor Conrad II (c. 990–1034). After gaining the aid of King Henry II of Bavaria and engaging in negotiations, Duke Otto's castle was dismantled and rebuilt to become a monastery in honour of St. Paul. In 1016, Burchard rebuilt the town's Cathedral of St. Peter. Burchard also spent time educating students in the cathedral's school.
Burchard died in 1025, leaving to his sister a hair shirt and an iron chain as a ''memento mori''.
