Godebold of Meissen

Godebold of Meissen (also noted as Godebald, Godewald, Gottwald, Goswald, Gotthold, Gotthard, Gerhold and Gorhold; died 31 August 1140), was Bishop of Meissen from 1119 to 1140.

Life Godebold, of whose earlier life nothing is known, was enthroned by the then Archbishop of Magdeburg, Rudgar of Veltheim, and was on friendly terms with Rudgar's successor, Saint Norbert of Xanten, supporting him loyally during an uprising and through his persecution in Magdeburg. During his episcopate several monasteries were founded.

In addition, other old lists include a Bishop Grambert between Herwig and Godebold, but this is a chronological and transcription error for Godebold's successor, Bishop Reinward.
