Odo I, Count of Vermandois

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Odo I (Eudes I), called “the Foolish” (fatuus), was the ruler of Saint-Simon. The last Carolingian male from the Herbertine branch, he was the only son of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois and Adele of Valois.

Following the marriage of his sister, Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois, to Hugh, Odo was disinherited and Hugh inherited Vermandois.[a][1]
