Heinrich von Knöringen

He took the minor orders in 1586 and three years later he began the study of law at the University of Ingolstadt.

[1] His time as Bishop of Augsburg largely overlapped with the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).

[citation needed] He supported the decision of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor to issue the Edict of Restitution in 1629.

[citation needed] From 1632 to 1635 and in 1645 the Thirty Years' War forced him to flee the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg; he took refuge in Reutte, Hall in Tirol, and Innsbruck at various times.
