Supporter of monastic revival, he was deemed a protector of the Church en lieu of Royal Interference.[3][4] He was the uncle to Saint Theobald of Provins. Saint Theobald of Vienne's Grave is in Saint Maurice Cathedral in Vienne and is said to be the site of miracles, and was once a pilgrimage site.[5]
The cult of veneration for Theobald was approved by Pope Pius X on December 9, 1903.[2]
