-------------------- Eudes I, surnamed Borel and called the Red, (1058–23 March 1103) was Duke of Burgundy between 1079 and 1103. Eudes 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. Eudes married Sibylla of Burgundy (1065 - 1101), daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy.

They had:

Florine of Burgundy d.1097 Helie of Burgundy d.1141 wife of Bertrand of Toulouse and William III of Ponthieu Hugh II of Burgundy Henry d.1131 An interesting incident is reported of this robber baron by an eyewitness, Eadmer, biographer of Anselm of Canterbury. While Saint Anselm was progressing through Eudes'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.

He was a participant in the ill-fated Crusade of 1101. -------------------- Odo I, also known as Eudes, surnamed Borel and called the Red, (1058–23 March 1103) was Duke of Burgundy between 1079 and 1103.
