Gebhard of Salzburg was a 11th-century archbishop who served the Archdiocese of Salzburg from 1060 until his death in 1088. Born in the Duchy of Swabia, he initially served as a court chaplain to Emperor Henry III and acted as an imperial chancellor. He later became a prominent figure in the Investiture Controversy, where he staunchly supported Pope Gregory VII against King Henry IV. This opposition eventually led to his expulsion from his diocese by the king.
