ODO

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 5 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ODO , or EunEs (d. 898), king of the
Franks
 , was a son of Robert the Strong,
count
  of Anjou (d. 866), and is sometimes referred to as
duke
  of
France
  and also as
count
  of Paris. For his skill and bravery in resisting the attacks of the Normans
Odo was chosen king by the western
Franks
  when the emperor
Charles
  the Fat was deposed in 887, and was crowned at
Compiegne
  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. To gain prestige and support Odo owned himself a vassal of the
German
  king, Arnulf, but in 894 Arnuif 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 Fere on the 1st of January 898.
See E. Lavisse, Histoire de
France
 , tome ii. (Paris, 1903) ; and E. Favre, Eudes, comte de Paris et roi de France (Paris, 1893).
