Odo of France

Odo (c. 857–898), called Odo of Paris, was the eldest son of Robert the Strong and Count of Paris from 882. When Vikings besieged Paris in 885 and 886, he defended the city and broke out to seek aid.

After the emperor Charles the Fat was deposed in 887, the West Frankish nobles chose Odo as king and crowned him in February 888, the first ruler of the Robertian dynasty. He defeated a Viking army at Montfaucon, and died on 1 January 898, leaving the crown to the Carolingian Charles the Simple.
