Willibad

Willibad, also spelled Willebad or Willihad (died 642), was the Patrician of Burgundian Provence)[1] in the first half of the seventh century.

Among his enemies were the dukes Chramnelenus of Besançon, Wandalbert of Chambly, and Amalgar of Dijon.

[2] Willibad had a long-running feud with Flaochad when the latter was appointed mayor of the palace of Burgundy in 639.

Finally, Clovis II, conspiring with Flaochad, held a court near Autun and summoned Willibad.

According to Fredegar, who seems to have been personally interested in this event, the last which he recorded, both were the victims of divine judgement, for they had sworn friendship in holy places and had subsequently despoiled land to enrich themselves and made war on each other.
