Bertram, born Berthold, was a Saxon nobleman, jurist and prelate of the Holy Roman Empire whose expertise was in Roman law and who was praised by contemporaries for his education. He served as elected archbishop of Bremen from 1178 to 1179 and as bishop of Metz from 1180 until his death, and was a strong supporter of the Staufer emperors, though he was forced into internal exile and temporarily dispossessed of his diocese from 1187 to 1189.
