The Prince-Bishopric of Freising (German: ''Hochstift Freising'') was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1294 until its secularisation in the early years of the 19th century. The Prince-Bishopric of Freising should not be confused with the diocese of the same name, which was considerably larger and over which the prince-bishop's authority was that of an ordinary bishop and therefore limited to spiritual and pastoral matters. ==Geography== While the prince-bishopric's territory was comparatively small, it was very fragmented and its lands were dispersed over a wide area, from central Bavaria and the Tyrol in the west to Styria and Slovenia in the east (see map). In 1800, the 15,000 subjects of the Prince-Bishop lived in the following areas:〔Stahleder/Steigelmann: ''(Historischer Atlas von Bayern: Hochstift Freising. )'' S. 3 ff.〕 * The city of Freising on the Isar River about 35 km north of Munich, with a population of approximately 4000. * The county of Yserrain, a narrow band of territory stretching along the east bank of the Isar River, from Freising north to the outskirts of Munich south. * The lordship of Burgrain, east of Yserrain. * The county of Werdenfels located between Munich and Innsbruck, with the towns of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald. * Innichen (San Candido) in the South Tyrol (Italy) * The lordship of Bischoflack (Škofja Loka) in Carniola (now Slovenia). * The lordship of Wölzer in Styria. * Other small enclaves, mostly in Carniola and Lower Austria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prince-Bishopric of Freising」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
