Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_I,_Duke_of_Burgundy
Odo I (1060 – 1102[1]), 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.[2]

An interesting incident is reported of Odo 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.

Odo was a participant in the ill-fated siege of Tudela in 1087[3] and in the Crusade of 
1101.[4]
