von der Pfalz, Heinrich (1487 - 1552)

Heinrich von der Pfalz, or Henry of the Palatinate, (1487 - 1552) was a German Catholic bishop. He was descended from the House of Wittelsbach and was a son of Philip, Elector Palatine. From 1524 until his death in 1552 he was the Bishop oF Worms. He was made Bishop of Utrecht in 1524, but this inserted him in a power struggle which would lead him to resign the position in 1529, returning to the calmer bishopric of Worms. He would be appointed in 1541 Bishop of Freising. While it is unlikely he drew the view himself, he is known to have provided Sebastian Münster a drawing of the city of Freising in Bavaria for inclusion in Cosmographia.
