Wipo of Burgundy (also Wippo, b. 995? d. 1048?) priest and writer. He was chaplain to the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II, whose biography he wrote in chronicle form, Gesta Chuonradi II imperatoris. He presented his work to Conrad's son, Henry III, in 1046, not long after Henry was crowned. In this Wipo fully understands his subject, is fresh and animated, and, although affectionate, is not a mere eulogist or a flatterer, for he sees Conrad's failings clearly. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Wi
