William I was bishop of Strasbourg from 1028 or 1029. Being a son of Otto of Worms, the first Salian duke of Carinthia, William was the uncle of Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor who appointed him to the bishopric. His tenure was uneventful.

Gottfried von Strassburg is the author of the Middle High German courtly romance Tristan, an adaptation of the 12th-century Tristan and Iseult legend. Gottfried's work is regarded, alongside the Nibelungenlied and Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, as one of the great narrative masterpieces of the German Middle Ages. He is probably also the composer of a small number of surviving lyrics. His work became a source of inspiration for Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde (1865).
