Wizzo
Wizzo (also Waso , Wasso , Wiso , Wizo ) was Archbishop of Trier from 804 to 809 .
Life
Little is known about the life and work of Wizzo. It is only recorded in the Trier bishops list.
There is the thesis that he is identical to the pupil of Alcuin Candidus Wiz (z) o , who came from England . Others see him as a former abbot of the Mettlach monastery .
In 806 he possibly took part in the imperial assembly in Diedenhofen , at which the Divisio Regnorum was decided.
