Home > Archbishop of Riga

 
The Archbishops of Riga (1202) 1255-1561 were the secular rulers of Riga, the capital of Livonia (now known as Latvia). They were innovators in the field of minting currency, reviving techniques abandoned since the collapse of Rome.

The names of individual archbishops, as well as the years of their respective reigns, are stamped on Livonian pennies excavated at archaeological sites; in many cases, this is the only biographical data available.
