Theoderich (Bishop of Estonia)
- Theoderich (Bishop of Estonia)
Theoderich was the second known missionary Bishop of Estonia during 1211-1219. He was previously a Cistercian monk and appointed by Albert of Buxhoeveden, the Bishop of Riga. He had apparently worked in missionary activities in Estonia already in 1191.
Theoderich was killed by Estonians in 1219. After his death, the title "Bishop of Estonia" was not used any more, being temporarily replaced by the "Bishop of Leal" before the Estonian terroritory was divided into several dioceses.
What little is known about Theoderich's life, is recorded in several contemporary documents and the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia.
