Henry I of Burgundy

Henry I, called the Great or Odo-Henry (946 – 15 October 1002), was a younger son of Hugh the Great and the younger brother of Hugh Capet. He entered the church young and was a cleric when, in 965, he was elected Duke of Burgundy after his brother Otto's death, taking the name Henry. His marriage in 972 to Gerberga brought him Nevers and a stepson, Otto-William, whom he adopted.

In 978 he joined the invasion of Lotharingia. He died in 1002 without a legitimate heir, sparking a succession war between Otto-William and his nephew King Robert II.
