History
Adalwin was archbishop of Salzburg and abbot of St. Peter's from 859 until his death on 14 May 873. He took the pallium in Rome in 860. That year Louis the German granted his church royal estates in the Bavarian east.
Salzburg ran the mission to the Slavs of Carantania and Pannonia. Adalwin visited Kocel's lands in Lower Pannonia twice in 865. When Pope Hadrian II made the Byzantine missionary Methodius archbishop over Pannonia, Adalwin opposed it. He and Bishop Ermanrich of Passau had Methodius arrested and held for about three and a half years. The Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum, Salzburg's case for its claim, was written under him in the 870s.
The Fathers of the Faithful card names him Prince-Archbishop Adalwin, lowborn, Archbishop of Salzburg, aged 58, and rates him Medium. Five counties make him the largest of the three prelates on the card.

How to play
Goal. Hold Salzburg's claim over the Slavic east against the Byzantine mission, and keep the church on the Roman side of the Schism.
Pick him from the Fathers of the Faithful card. He needs By God Alone. Great Moravia under Rostislav and Bulgaria under Boris are the converted realms that Rome and Constantinople both want. The East Frankish court, Ludwig the German and his son Carloman in Bavaria, is the secular power around you. At 58, plan the succession of the see early.
Where this run fails. Age, a secular lord who takes over the see, or a Schism that pulls the Slavic churches east.
