Abbots and Prelates[edit]

Only a few of the Abbots were actually Princes of the Holy Roman Empire - Fulda, Kempten, Ellwangen, Weissenburg, Berchtesgaden, Stablo, Prüm, Hersfeld, and Korvey, I believe. The rest had only collective votes in the Council of Princes, in either the College of Prelates of the Rhine or the College of Prelates of Swabia. The appropriate designation for them is "Prelates." The distinction is comparable to that between secular princes and counts. This ought to be clarified. john k 20:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quedlinburg[edit]

The foundation date should be 936, not 836; it was established by Henry I and his wife, Mathilda, shortly before the former's death. Also, calling it a "nunnery" is a bit inaccurate; St. Servatius was a female canonry, rather than a house of Benedictine (or other) nuns per se. SGilsdorf 04:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Selz[edit]

Selz's foundation date is c. 991, not 968-999; although the property on which the monastery was built was given to its founder (Adelheid) by her husband Otto I in 968, she did not establish a religious community there until late in her life. The monastery received royal protection (tuitio) and immunity from episcopal control early in 992. SGilsdorf 05:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Engelberg Abbey - was this also Beckenried Abbey?[edit]

There is no mention in the list of Engelberg Abbey in Switzerland, which has a Wikipedia page listing it as an Imperial Abbey - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelberg_Abbey . Could this be same thing as the Beckenried Abbey mentioned in the page? Beckenried was part of an area owned by Engelberg Abbey during at least some of the Middle Ages. Perhaps the page should mention the possibility, just a thought! Nickpelling (talk) 19:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edelstetten?[edit]

What about Edelstetten? Shouldn't it be on the list of Imperial abbeys?

I read a biography of the the Prince de Ligne. He became lord of Edelstetten when it was secularized in 1803.

New title[edit]

This article has become more than just a list, and also there was a need to highlight the fact that the article deals with both princely abbeys and imperial abbeys. The new title "Princely abbeys and imperial abbeys of the Holy Roman Empire" reflects those points. --Lubiesque (talk) 13:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
