Wibald was an important figure of his time, advising 3 German emperors, including Frederick Barbarossa. He carried out numerous diplomatic missions, including several trips to Rome and two to Constantinople. It was on his return from the second trip to the capital of the Byzantine Empire that he died in Macedonia.

Wibald fut un personnage important de son temps, conseiller de 3 empereurs germaniques, dont Frédéric Barberousse. Il accomplit de nombreuses missions diplomatiques qui le conduisirent à se rendre à plusieurs reprises à Rome et deux fois à Constantinople. C'est au retour du deuxième voyage dans la capitale de l'Empire Byzantin, qu'il mourut, en Macédoine.
