Everything about Odo I Count Of Troyes totally explained
Odo I or
Eudes I (died
10 June 871) was the
Count of Troyes from
852 to
859.
His ancestry isn't known for certain. Onomastics would place him in the extended family of
Odo I, Count of Orléans. The most recent studies make him a son of
Robert, Count of Oberrheingau and Wormsgau, and Waldrada, a daughter of Odo of Orléans. If this theory is true, he was the elder brother of
Robert the Strong.
Like the rest of his family, he was a loyal follower of
Charles the Bald. Though well-endowed with estates in
Austrasia, like his brother Robert, he abandoned these after the
Treaty of Verdun (
843) in order to rejoin Charles the Bald. In
846, he was granted lands in the region of
Châteaudun, made
Count of Anjou, and wed to Wandilmodis.
In 852, after the death of
Aleran, Count of Troyes, he was nominated to hold his vacant office and his brother Robert succeeded him in Anjou. In
858, Charles named his son
Louis the Stammerer to the
ducatus Cenomannicus and Robert, angered by his loss of influence there, revolted and called in the aid of
Louis the German. Odo soon joined him. The brothers were subsequently expelled from their counties and Troyes confiscated and confided to one
Rudolph.
Odo may have recovered Troyes after Rudolph's death (
866), but perhaps not. In any case, his brother made his submission in
861 and was given the
March of Neustria. Odo's eponymous son was found in Troyes in
876. By Wandilmodis, he left three children:
