Liupram

Liupram (also spelled Liupramm or Liudepram) was the archbishop of Salzburg from 836 until 859.[1] He was also abbot of Saint Peter's.[2]

Before becoming archbishop, Liupram was a fidelis (vassal) holding land in benefice from Louis the German, the king of Bavaria.[1] In the early 830s, he served in Louis's chapel.[3][4] He was elected to succeed Adalram two days after the latter's death on 6 January 836. He was ordained that year and received the pallium from Pope Gregory IV by a bull dated 31 May 837.[5] He may have owed his promotion to Louis and he was a staunch supporter of the king throughout his episcopate.[1] In 837, he was with Louis during the latter's abortive Italian expedition.[6] In return, Louis confirmed Salzburg's immunity.[6][4]

Liupram was a scholar and church builder.[2] He was also much involved with Pannonian Slavs and churches proliferated in Pannonia under his rule.[7] In 837, the king granted Salzburg land in Slavic territory, including the church at Winklarn that Adalram had built.[4] Sometime before 850, according to the Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum, Liupram consecrated churches as far afield as Ptuj and Pécs at the request of the Slav prince Pribina.[8] On 24 January 850, he consecrated a church in Pribina's capital, Mosaburg (Zalavár), to the Mother of God.[9][7] Somewhat later, he initiated the construction of another church in Mosaburg, sending master builders from Salzburg.[10][11] He confirmed Pribina's chaplain, the priest Dominic from the diocese of Regensburg.[7] He appointed a chorbishop named Osbald to serve the Slavs.[12] In 851, with royal permission, he travelled to Rome to acquire the relics of Saint Hermes for Salzburg. An account of his expedition is found in the Translatio sancti Hermetis.[4][13]

In 852, Liupram attended the synod of Mainz.[14] He died on 14 October 859 and was buried in the cathedral of Salzburg by the altar of Saint Erasmus.[5] He was succeeded by his student Adalwin.[5]
