Notes about Odo (Odo or Eudes I) of FRANCE

Odo of France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the Duke of Burgundy (956-965), please see Odo, Duke of Burgundy. Odo King of Western Francia The Coronation of Odo, from the Grandes Chroniques de France' Reign 888–898 Coronation February 888, Compiegne Predecessor Charles the Fat Successor Charles III Father Robert the Strong Mother Adelaide of Tours Born c.860 Died 1 January 898 La Fère, France Odo (or Eudes I) (c. 860 – January 1, 898) was a king of the Franks (888 - 898). He was a son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and is sometimes referred to as duke of France and also as count of Paris. His family is known as the Robertians. For his skill and bravery in resisting the attacks of the Normans at the Siege of Paris, Odo was chosen king by the western Franks when the emperor Charles the Fat was deposed in 887, and was crowned at Compiègne in February 888. He continued to battle against the Normans, whom he defeated at Montfaucon and elsewhere, but was soon involved in a struggle with some powerful nobles, who supported the claim of Charles, afterwards King Charles III, to the Frankish kingdom. In 889 and 890 Odo granted special privileges to the County of Manresa in Osona. Because of its position on the front line against Moorish aggression, it was given the right to build towers of defence called manresanas or manresanes. This privilege was responsible for giving Manresa its unique character separate from the rest of Osona for the next two centuries. To gain prestige and support, Odo paid homage to the Eastern Frankish King Arnulf of Carinthia, but in 894 Arnulf declared for Charles. Eventually, after a struggle which lasted for three years, Odo was compelled to come to terms with his rival, and to surrender to him a district north of the Seine. He died at La Fère on January 1, 898. Odo married Théodrate of Troyes and had two known sons, Arnulf (born probably about 885) and Guy (born probably about 888), neither of whom lived past the age of fifteen
