Note 406 — BOOK THE FOURTH.
Reading edition
Henry, Count of Schwartzburg, was first Bishop of Bremen, and afterwards, in 1467, Bishop of Munster. He died on the 24th of December, 1497. The valorous conduct of this prelate at the siege of Neuss is commemorated in the following passage from his epitaph:—
Cæsareas aquilas infestaque signa, viator, Suspensa ad tumulum præsulis, oro, vide. Principis hæc meruit virtus, cum Nussia dura Burgundi quatitur obsidione ducis. (Witt, 564, 597.)
