occo of schleswig

occo of schleswig -lrb- also aage , aagge , ogge -rrb- was the bishop of the diocese of schleswig between 1141 and 1145 and again from 1161 to 1167 .
the chapter of schleswig cathedral elected occo bishop in 1138 , after bishop rike had been elected the new bishop of roskilde .
however , eric iii lamb imposed his chaplain hermann , who was born in the holy roman empire .
so occo was hindered to ascend the see .
the city of schleswig and the diocesan clergy preferred the bishop elect occo and after unrest among the townsfolk hermann resigned , and occo ascended .
eric lamb provided for hermann with another position .
occo sided -- unlike his archbishop eskil of lund -- with olaf haraldsen who aimed at dethroning his cousin eric lamb , but failed .
occo then had to leave and went into french exile .
eskil then consecrated esbern as new bishop of schleswig .
the royal steward -lrb- or stadholder -rrb- for schleswig , nicolaus , ravaged esberns 's possessions and his residence -lrb- old gottorp -rrb- .
so esbern 's relatives protected him and killed nicolaus .
fearing the royal revenge esbern fled to saxony , where he died in 1161 .
king valdemar i the great then reappointed occo as bishop .
this made eskil inflicting the ban on occo , but due to internal quarrels in the church the bishop of schleswig managed to stay in office until his death .
starting in 1161 occo built a new gottorp castle , replacing the destroyed one , however , on another site .
