Frederick was Bishop of Liege succeeding Bishop Alexander (who was forced to stand down after being charged with acts of simony 1119). As a result the newly appointed Bishop Frederick suffered open animosity from Alexander’s supporters. It is believed that Frederick was poisoned by the count of Louvain and suffered death in 1121.
