Baldwin of Luxembourg (c. 1285 – 21 January 1354) was the archbishop and elector of Trier and archchancellor of Burgundy from 1307 to his death. From 1328 to 1336, he was the administrator of the archdiocese of Mainz and from 1331 to 1337 (with interruptions) of the dioceses of Worms and Speyer. He was one of the most prominent German prelates and statesmen of his age,[1] and the most effective ruler of Trier during the late Middle Ages.[2]
