Baldwin of Luxembourg

Baldwin of Luxembourg (c. 1285–1354) was the youngest son of Count Henry VI of Luxembourg. In 1307 Trier's cathedral chapter elected him archbishop, and Pope Clement V consecrated him in 1308. He inherited a debt-laden see and steadied it with a French-style administration and tolls granted by his brother Henry.

He helped win the crown of the Romans for Henry VII in 1308 and went with him to Rome for the imperial coronation of 1312. He later backed his great-nephew Charles IV in 1346, and held that the electors alone choose the king, a principle the Golden Bull of 1356 later fixed in law.

In 1328 troops of Loretta of Sponheim captured him, and he was freed only after paying ransom. He built the Balduinbrücke at Koblenz and ruled Trier until his death.
