Wipo of Burgundy

Wipo of Burgundy (also Wippo or Wigbert; c.995– c.1050) was a priest, poet and chronicler.[1] He was a chaplain to the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II and may have acted as a tutor to his son Henry III, to whom he dedicated a number of works. His biography of Conrad II, entitled Gesta Chuonradi II imperatoris, is a key source for Conrad's reign. The well-known musical sequence, Victimae paschali laudes is often attributed to him, though its authenticity remains uncertain.

11th-century miniature of Emperor Henry III, to whom Wipo dedicated most of his surviving works.
