From Wikipedia - Reading time: 2 min
Vitelmo of Turin or William of Turin (also Guglielmo) (died 1092) was an Italian bishop. He was bishop of Turin from c. 1082 until his death in 1092.
Biography
[edit]Vitelmo may have been the son of Vitelmo-Bruno of the Baratonia, a powerful viscount in Turin.[1] Vitelmo was appointed bishop of Turin by Henry IV. According to the contemporary chronicler, William of Chiusa, Vitelmo paid a large sum of money in return for his office.[2]
Like many of his predecessors, Vitelmo made donations to the monastery of Santa Maria in Cavour, which had been founded by Bishop Landulf of Turin.[3]
Vitelmo also continued the conflict with Abbot Benedict II (r.c.1066-1091) of the monastery of San Michele della Chiusa, which had begun under Bishop Cunibert of Turin.[4]
