Prince-Bishopric Of Osnabrück
The Prince-Bishopric of OsnabrückAlso known as the Prince-Bishopric of Osnaburg) (german: link=no, Hochstift Osnabrück; Fürstbistum Osnabrück, Bistum Osnabrück) was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1225 until 1803.

The Prince-Bishopric continued to grow in size, making its status during the Reformation a highly con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
