Wala of Corbie was a ninth-century Frankish abbot and political advisor who served Charlemagne, Louis the Pious, and Lothair I. A descendant of Charles Martel, he initially held a position at the royal court before being forced into monastic life at Corbie in 814 by Louis the Pious. Throughout his career, he navigated complex political rebellions and served as a key intermediary between the imperial court and the papacy. He eventually became the abbot of Corbie and later held the leadership of Bobbio until his death in 836.
