Editing Odo of France (section)

==Family and inheritance==

Odo was the eldest son of [[Robert the Strong]], [[Duke of the Franks]], [[Margrave of Neustria]], and [[Count of Anjou]] and Adelaide of Tours.{{sfn|Riche|1983|loc=table 4}}{{efn|It is not universally acknowledged that Odo and Robert were also Adelaide's sons.{{sfn|Jackman|2008|p=42}}}} After his father's death at the [[Battle of Brissarthe]] in 866, Odo inherited the Margraviate of Neustria. Odo lost this title in 868 when King [[Charles the Bald]] appointed [[Hugh the Abbot]] to the title but regained it after Hugh's death in 886. After 882 he was the [[count of Paris]]. Odo was also the [[lay abbot]] of St. Martin of Tours.<ref>[[Ernest Lavisse]], ''Histoire de France'', tome ii. (Paris, 1903)</ref><ref>E. Favre, ''Eudes, comte de Paris et roi de France'' (Paris, 1893)</ref>

In 882 or 883 Odo married [[Théodrate of Troyes]].<ref>Carl Johan Lamm. ''Oriental Glass of Mediaeval Date Found in Sweden and the Early History of Lustre-painting.'' Akad. Förl., 1941. p 41</ref> The eleventh-century chronicler [[Adémar de Chabannes]] wrote that they had a son, Arnoul (c.882–898){{Citation needed|reason=Unreferenced|date=February 2019}}, who died shortly after his father. Guy is named as one of the couple's children in an [[Alan I, Duke of Brittany|Alan I]]'s charter dated 28 August 903, but genealogist [[Christian Settipani]] has argued that the document is false.<ref>Christian Settipani.

The genealogical work [[Europäische Stammtafeln]] refers to Raoul as a son of Odo by Théodrate, but its primary source is not known.
