[2] Prior to his elevation to the archbishopric he had been the provost of Cologne Cathedral.
[1] His uncle, Archbishop Anno of Cologne, in a bid to consolidate the supremacy of his church over Trier, invested Conrad with the archbishopric at court in May 1066, without the consent of the people or clergy of Trier.
[1] (Anno was the regent for the young Henry IV at the time.)
After a fortnight in prison, he was murdered by four of Theoderic's vassals at Ürzig on 1 June.
[3][4] Nobody was ever punished for the murder, and the people of Trier elected Udo of Nellenburg as archbishop in Conrad's place.
