  The Age of Gregory VII, 1073-85:A letter from Archbishop Liemar of Bremen to Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim (1075)
To which, on the advice of those of our brother bishops who were present, the Archbishop of Mainz and I replied that it was impossible for us two to put this edict of theirs into practice without consulting our brothers and fellow bishops, the greatest men in the kingdom and taking their advice.
This dangerous man wants to order bishops about as though they were his bailiffs [ut villicis suis], and if they do not do everything that he wishes then they have to come to Rome or be suspended without trial.
I do indeed know well that there are those among our bishops who, despite the utter hatred they have for the king, my lord, have pity on me, his helper, in these travails caused by their machinations, for I have been labouring for the common benefit of all in this conflict.

Upon the death of the latter, in 987, he became chaplain at the imperial court, and was shortly afterwards appointed by the Empress-Regent Theophano, tutor to her son Otto III, then six years of age.
Bernward remained at the imperial court until 993, when he was elected Bishop of Hildesheim.
Thangmar, his former tutor, who subsequently became his biographer, describes in eloquent terms, how the saint, after performing his episcopal functions in the cathedral, was wont to visit the various workshops connected with the cathedral school, and with his own hands manufactured gold and silver vessels for the enrichment of the altars.

These friendly relations were somewhat disturbed by the dispute of Willigis with the Bishop of Hildesheim about jurisdiction in the convent at Gundersheim.

When this sentence was about to be published at a synod of Pohlde (22 June, 1001), Willigis, who was there, left in great excitement in spite of the remonstrances of the delegate, who then placed the sentence of suspension on the archbishop.

 WHKMLA : Hildesheim Stift Feud, 1518-1523
In the high middle ages, prior to the investiture conflict, a bishop of Hildesheim had served as Imperial chancellor, and, in return, received land as compensation for his services.
This land, originally granted temporarily, became a fief held by the holder of the see of Hildesheim, thus turning the position of bishop into that of a princebishop; it provided the nucleus of the Princebishopric of Hildesheim, which the bishops, over the centuries, extended.
In the subsequent decennia, the title of Bishop of Hildesheim was mostly held by the Princebishop of another Westphalian diocesis.
