He succeeded his brother Adalard as abbot of Corbie and Corvey in 826 or 827.Wala, originally a comes (count) attached to the palace under Charlemagne (811), was forced to enter the monastery of Corbie in 814 as part of a purging of palace rivals and hangers-on by Louis the Pious. In 816 he and Adalard were given the responsibility of organising the government of the convent of Herford, recently passed into Louis''s hands at the Council of Aachen. In the 820s Wala become a strong opponent of royal/imperial control of church benefices.
