Thiemo was a Benedictine monk and the Archbishop of Salzburg who lived from approximately 1040 to 1101. Born into the Bavarian House of Vornbach, he was known for his artistic talents in sculpture and painting. During the Investiture Controversy, he supported the papacy against King Henry IV, which led to his exile. He eventually returned to Salzburg to serve as archbishop, a position he held until his death during a crusade in the East.
