(ARIBERT)

Archbishop of Milan (1018-1045)

An ambitious and warlike prince of the Church; died at Monza, 16 January, 1045.
After Conrad II was elected King of Germany in 1024, Heribert visited the new
king at Constance in 1025, and in consideration of various privileges promised
to help him to secure the crown of Lombardy. On 23 March, 1026, Heribert crowned
Conrad II at Milan with the iron crown of Lombardy, and a year later was present
at his imperial coronation, which was performed in Rome by John XIX on 26 March,
1027. In 1034 he assisted Conrad II in the conquest of Burgundy. In his ambition
to be the supreme spiritual ruler of Upper Italy, he disregarded the rights of
other dioceses, and consequently came into collision with the Metropolitan of
Ravenna. He, moreover, committed many acts of violence against the inferior
nobility, the so-called valvassores, who in consequence revolted against him.
Upon his request the emperor came to Italy to quell the revolt. When, however,
the emperor demanded that the archbishop should give an account of his actions,
the latter refused to do so on the plea that he was not a subject, but the equal
of the emperor. Upon this the emperor had him arrested. The Milanese looked upon
this act as a national insult, and, after the archbishop's escape, assisted him
loyally against all the attempts of the emperor to gain possession of Milan,
even after the archbishop was excommunicated by Benedict IX in March, 1038. In
the same year Heribert introduced the famous carroccio as the military insignia
of Milan. It was afterwards accepted by the cities of Lombardy and Tuscany and
by Rome. After the death of Conrad II, Heribert made peace with the new emperor,
Henry III, at Ingelheim in 1040.
