1423 –

Archbishop of Mainz from 1461 until 1475.
Adolph was a son of Count
Adolph II of
Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein.
In 1459 he was defeated in the election of Archbishop of
Mainz by
Theodoric of Isenburg-Büdingen. In 1461
Pope Pius II declared Adolph the archbishop of Mainz following the confrontational reforms of Theodoric. The city and cathedral of Mainz was loyal to Theodoric so Adolph declared war. The devastating
