Heinrich V Schenk von Reicheneck

Heinrich V Schenk von Reicheneck (d. 1344) was Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt from 1329 to 1344. A canon of Regensburg, he fought for Frederick the Fair before Pope John XXII, whose loyal partisan he was, appointed him to Eichstätt in 1329.

He reconciled with Emperor Lewis the Bavarian in 1330 and received the regalia from him in 1334. For this the Pope excommunicated him. He reduced the bishopric's debts, and around 1340 walled the town of Herrieden. He died at Nuremberg in 1344 and was buried at Engelthal Abbey.
