Peter von Schaumberg

Peter von Schaumberg (22 February 1388 – 12 April 1469) was Bishop of Augsburg in the 15th century.

After a schismatic election in 1423, Pope Martin V prevailed in the canons of Würzburg and Bamberg, and named Peter von Schaumberg Bishop of Augsburg in 1424, a post he held until his death in 1469.

He promoted science and music,[3] made a significant donation of books to St. Mang zu Füssen and left his movable property including the valuable library to the cathedral chapter.

[2] Pope Eugenius IV raised him to the rank of cardinal in the consistory of 18 December 1439, and appointed him Cardinal-priest of S. Vitalis on 8 January 1440.

[4] He apparently received the cardinal's hat from Pope Nicholas V on his trip to Rome in 1450.
