Theodoric I of Paderborn

Theodoric I (German: Theoderich, also Theodor or Dietrich) (?–916) was the Bishop of Paderborn from 908 to 916.

Virtually no record of Theodoric's life and work has survived. However, it was the period of the Hungarian invasions of Europe and the conflicts between the Saxon and Frankish duchies. During the revolt by Duke Henry the Fowler against King Conrad the Saxon bishops aligned themselves with Henry. At the hill castle of Eresburg (Marsberg) in the Bishopric of Paderborn a bloody feud arose in 915 in which Theoderic was also supposed to have participated militarily.

Theodoric died on 8 December 916 and is very probably interred in Paderborn Cathedral.

gollark: A lot of the chemistry and physics stuff we do at school is... somewhat interesting at first, but we end up going over it again and again and doing endless worksheets for some reason, which is not very interesting.
gollark: They might actually be actively negative in some areas, since for quite a lot of people being forced to learn the boring stuff they don't care about will make them ignore the interesting bits.
gollark: Personally I figure that schools are wildly inefficient at actually transmitting knowledge and skills anyway, so meh.
gollark: It would just be exam revision for me at school, being year 11, so not much actual learning anyway.
gollark: Yes, but they do *sometimes* confiscate them and it would be a hassle to have to pick it up again later.
