He was later elected to succeed Léger as archbishop. He held the abbacy and archbishopric concurrently until his death. He is accused of dissipating the diocese's property. Upon his death, Bishop Gontard of Valence [fr] administered the diocese as vicar. His successor, Guy of Burgundy, was only elected in 1088.
