Biography
Very little is known about Bishop Vizzo. According to the Acts of the Bishops of Trier , before receiving the episcopal dignity, he was an abbot of the monastery of Merlock (Metlok; Lat. Mediolacum ) [1] . In 804, he headed the diocese of Trier , becoming here the successor of the deceased Bishop Rikhbod [2] . Although the department of Trier at that time already had the status of a metropolis , Vizzo, like his predecessor, is only mentioned as a bishop [3] .
At the end of 805 or the beginning of 806, Vizzo attended the church council held in Thionville [2] , whose participants, at the behest of Emperor Charles the Great, approved the capitulation , including the regulation of the legal status of church property and possessions [4] .
Vizzo passed away in 809. Amalarius became his successor in the department of Trier [2] .
Some historians mistakenly identify Vizzo with the Carolingian Renaissance of the same name, better known as [5] , however, this comparison is based only on the similarity of their names and is not confirmed by historical sources contemporary to these individuals [6] .
