Odo I van Bourgondië (1058 - Tarsus, 1102), bijgenaamd Borel (de Rode) was de tweede zoon van Hendrik van Bourgondië (zelf een zoon van hertog Robert I van Bourgondië) en Sybilla van Barcelona.
In 1079 volgde hij zijn broer Hugo I van Bourgondië op als hertog. Odo trok in 1087 naar Spanje om er de Moren te gaan bestrijden en nam deel aan de verovering van Toledo. Samen met zijn broer Robert stichtte hij de bekende abdij van Cîteaux en in 1093 werd de abdij van Clairvaux gesticht. Hij stierf tijdens de eerste kruistocht in Tarsus.
Odo I (1058 23 March 1103), also known as Eudes, surnamed Borel and called the Red, was Duke of Burgundy between 1079 and 1103. Odo was the second son of Henry of Burgundy and grandson of Robert I. He became the duke following the abdication of his older brother, Hugh I, who retired to become a Benedictine monk.[1] Odo married Sibylla of Burgundy (10651101), daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy.
They had:
Helie of Burgundy 10801141, wife of Bertrand of Toulouse and William III of Ponthieu
Florine of Burgundy 10831097, wife of Sweyn the Crusader, prince of Denmark
Hugh II of Burgundy 10841143
Henry 10871131, a priest
An interesting incident is reported of this robber baron by an eyewitness, Eadmer, biographer of Anselm of Canterbury. While Saint Anselm was progressing through Odo's territory on his way to Rome in 1097, the bandit, expecting great treasure in the archbishop's retinue, prepared to ambush and loot it. Coming upon the prelate's train, the duke asked for the archbishop, whom they had not found. Anselm promptly came forward and took the duke by surprise, saying "My lord duke, suffer me to embrace thee." The flabbergasted duke immediately allowed the bishop to embrace him and offered himself as Anselm's humble servant.
He was a participant in the ill-fated Crusade of 1101.
Hij is getrouwd met Sibylle van Bourgondië.
Zij zijn getrouwd in het jaar 1080, hij was toen 22 jaar oud.Bron 3
