Biography[edit]

Veit Truchseß von Pommersfelden's family name ("Truchseß von Pommersfelden") came from a court office that the family held in Pommersfelden, with the title becoming an integral part of the family name.[1]

The cathedral chapter of Bamberg Cathedral elected Truchseß von Pommersfelden to be Prince-Bishop of Bamberg on 3 April 1501, with Pope Alexander VI affirming his appointment on 7 May 1501.[2]

He died on 7 September 1503 without ever having been consecrated as a bishop.[2]
