EUDES, illegitimate son of HENRI [Eudes] Duke of Burgundy & his mistress --- (-27 May, 1006 or after). Vicomte de Beaune. "Oddo vicecomes filius Heinrici ducis…et eius uxor Hingala" donated property “in comitatu Dusmensi villam, Empilliacus Siccus vocatam...” to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated to [1003][1]. The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Odo vicecomes Belnensis" as son of "Henrici ducis Burgundie, frater ex matre Guillelmi Ottonis"[2]. The absence of any reference to his claiming the succession to his father as duke of Burgundy indicates that he was illegitimate. Gauthier Bishop of Autun approved the reconstruction of Saint-Etienne de Beaune by "Oddonis atque uxoris eius...Hingole" by charter dated 1004[3]. A charter dated 25 Aug 1005 records that "Oddo vicecomes Belnocastri" donated "villam Empillies sitam infra comitatum…Dumensis…[et] in Milleponto villa…in comitatu Belnense…res uxor eius" to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, confirmed by Robert II King of France at the request of "Ottonis comitis" and Gauthier Bishop of Autun[4]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "VI Kal Jun" of "Oddo vicecomes Belnensis"[5].

m INGOLA, daughter of [AGANON & his wife Ingola ---]. "Oddo vicecomes filius Heinrici ducis…et eius uxor Hingala" donated property “in comitatu Dusmensi villam, Empilliacus Siccus vocatam...” to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated to [1003][6]. The origin of Ingola is unknown. Settipani indicates that she may have been from the family of the Comtes de Duesme but does not explain the basis for this suggestion[7]. Another possibility is that she was the daughter of Aganon, named after her mother: "Rodulfus sancti Symphoriani abbas" granted "terra in comitatu Altissiodorensi in uilla...Mons Corbonus et capella...in Coruello" to “uir nobilis...Agano cum uxore sua...Ingela...filio eius clerico...Aganone”, at the request of “dominæ Garsindis comitissæ”, by charter dated Jun [991/92][8]. This would also explain the introduction of the name Aganon into the family of Eudes Vicomte de Beaune (the name of his second son, see below). Another possible interpretation of this document is that Aganon was the first husband of Ingola who married Vicomte Eudes as her second husband. The difficulty with that second hypothesis is that Aganon, son of Vicomte Eudes, is described as one of “filiorum eius” [presumably referring to Eudes himself] in the charter dated 1012 which is quoted below, in which case it is unlikely that he was the same person as Aganon, son of Aganon, who is named in the charter dated Jun [991/92]. Gauthier Bishop of Autun approved the reconstruction of Saint-Etienne de Beaune by "Oddonis atque uxoris eius...Hingole" by charter dated 1004[9]. The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Oddo Vicecomes, filius Hinrici Ducis" which names "uxor eius Hingala" dated 1005[10]. "Odo Belnensis vicecomes" with the consent of "uxoris suæ nomine Inge et filiorum eius Aquionis abbatis et Joannis" are named in a charter dated 1012 as donors of part of the property exchanged between "Willelmus abbas Divionensis et Amadeus Flaviniacensis abbas"[11].

  Vicomte Eudes & his wife had [three] children:
