Olov Lambatunga wasArchbishop of Uppsala from 1198 to 1206.[1]
Little is known about Archbishop Olov. He was archbishop during thePapacy ofPope Innocent III (1198–1216).A couple ofpapal letters exist: In 1200,Pope Innocent III declared thatRoman Catholic Church estates were free from government taxes and thatclerics should not be subjected to the courts and judges of the government, but bybishops andprelates, as a step to separate theworldly and spiritual matters.[2]
In the second letter, the Pope demands Olov dismiss two bishops that Olov's predecessorArchbishop Petrus had appointed because they lacked proper heredity.Absalon,Archbishop of Lund, requested the Pope to interact since the bishops which Petrus had elected in 1196 were the sons of other priests which was not allowed according to theCanon law of the Catholic Church.There is also a letter from Olov to the Pope sent after Uppsala burnt in 1204. Olov asked for a newpallium, because his old had burnt. The request was granted.[3][4]
