Pilgrim I, 
d. Passau (Germany), May 20, 991, Bishop of Passau. 971 mentioned in 
documents, tried to convert the Danube region to Christianity. With 
forged documents ( Lorcher Faelschungen) tried to make Passau an 
archbishopric independent of Salzburg for Austria, Hungary and 
Moravia. According to more recent research (H. Koller) these documents 
could have been forged on the orders of the Archbishop  Konrad II 
of Salzburg (1164-1168) and attributed to Pilgrim.
