Wipo of Burgundy
WIPO of Burgundy [Wigbert] b. ca. 995; d. after 1048. Wipo was chaplain to Emperor Conrad II (d. 1039) and then confessor to his son Emperor Henry III (d. 1056). He became a hermit in 1045. He is known to hymnody as the probable author of the Easter sequence* ‘Victimae Paschali’*: his name is ‘attached to the sequence’ (Frost, 1962, p. 217) in an 11th-century manuscript from Einsiedeln.
