https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_III,_Duke_of_Burgundy
Eudes III (1166 – July 6, 1218), commonly known in English as Odo III, was duke of 
Burgundy between 1192 and 1218.[1] Odo was the eldest son of duke Hugh III and 
his first wife Alice, daughter of Matthias I, Duke of Lorraine.
Life[edit]

Odo did not follow his father's aggressive policies towards France and proved a 
worthy ally of king Philip II of France in his wars against John Lackland and the Holy 
Roman Emperor Otto IV of Germany. He fought bravely against the latter in the Battle 
of Bouvines, where he lost, according to contemporary chroniclers, two horses 
beneath him. Odo was also an important figure in the Crusade against the Cathars. [2] 
When Philip II refused to get involved, the Odo stepped forward with the support of 
the local bishops and his vassals and organized the campaign of 1209 against the 
Cathar strongholds.[2] Before leaving on crusade against the Cathars, Odo pledged 
the castle of Ile-d'Ouche and the village of Crimolois to the Knights Templar to assist 
them in the defense of the Catholic faith.[3]

Marriages and Issue[edit]

He married in 1194 Teresa of Portugal (1156–1218), the daughter of Afonso I of 
Portugal, and Matilda/Maud of Savoy, and the widow of Philip, Count of Flanders. She 
was repudiated in 1195, having produced no children.[4]

In 1199, he married Alice of Vergy (1182–1252), the daughter of Hugues, Seigneur de 
Vergy by Gillette de Trainel.[4] This marriage produced:
