Encyclopedic overview
Odo (French: Eudes; c. 857 – 1 January 898), also known as Odo of Paris, was King of West Francia from 888 to 898. He was the first king from the Robertian dynasty, the parent house of the House of Capet. Before assuming the kingship, Odo was the Count of Paris, since 882. His reign marked the definitive separation of West Francia from the Carolingian Empire, which would never be reunited.
