ADALBERONE (ADALBERTO), bishop of WÜRZBURG. — Born around 1010, died at Lambach on 6 October 1090. He studied in Paris, and on 30 June 1045 succeeded his uncle in the episcopal see of Würzburg, which sided with the emperor; he was able to return there only after the battle of Pleichfeld, in which the imperial forces were defeated. But soon Henry IV seized Würzburg, and A. had to take refuge in the abbey of Lambach, where he spent the rest of his life.
