HEIMBURG, GREGOR von. - Politician and jurist, defender of the conciliar theory, bitter opponent of the Curia of Rome. Born at the beginning of the 15th century at Schweinfurt in Franconia, died in August 1472 at Wehlen in Saxony. In the period 1435-61 he was procurator of the city of Nuremberg; and from 1466 he was in the service of the King of Bohemia George of Poděbrady against the Curia of Rome. Excommunicated in 1460, he appealed to the Council, and was absolved only in 1472, shortly before his death.

Editions of his writings: Scripta nervosa iustitique plena (Frankfurt 1608); M. Freher-Struve, Germanicarum rerum scriptores aliquot, II, Strasbourg 1717.
