Walter II (French: Gautier or Gauthier) was the bishop of Autun from 1189 until 1223.
He was a member of the regular clergy prior to his election as bishop in 1189.
[3][4] In 1202, he joined the Fourth Crusade in a ceremony alongside some knights from the Auvergne.
[5] He did not travel with the main army, but sailed with his company directly to the Holy Land from Marseille, thus avoiding the sack of Constantinople.
[1][6][7] Count Guigues III of Forez travelled in the same flotilla.
