He succeeded his father in 995 as THIBAUT II Comte de Blois. A charter dated 996 records the confirmation by "comitissæ Berthæ" of the donation by "Odo comes" of property for the construction of the abbey of Bourgeuil, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Teobaldi…atque Odonis"[75]. He resigned in favour of his younger brother and became a priest. A charter dated to before 1024 records that "comes Tedbaldus" was buried "in capitulo Sancti Petri" at the feet of "fratris sui Teoderici"[76].

c) EUDES de Blois ([982/83]-15 Nov 1037). "Odo comes" restored "villam…Culturas" to the abbey of Marmoutier by charter dated 3 May 983, signed by "Berte comitisse uxoris eius, majoris filii eius Teutboldi, minoris filii eius Odonis adhuc in cunabulo quiescentis"[77].

[A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records that "Wido…comes de Thoarcio, vicecomitis Ebles filius" married "Agnete" who brought him "terram…de Salmuriaco" from "Odone patre comite Turonensi"[80]. It should be noted that the genealogy of the vicomtes de Thouars which is included in this document cannot be fitted into the family which has been reconstructed from other primary sources and is shown in the document AQUITAINE NOBILITY. Its accuracy is therefore open to doubt. m GUY Vicomte de Thouars, son of EBLES Vicomte de Thouars & his wife Altrude de Limoges.]
