Otto of Poitiers

Otto of Poitiers was a son of Count Aymar V of Valentinois and Sibylle des Baux, whose father meant him for the Church. The will of 1339 left him Montmeyran Castle only until he held benefices worth 500 livres a year, and in 1342 he ceded his rights to his brother Louis, their father's successor.

After serving as abbot of Saint-Pierre de Châlons, he was elected bishop of Verdun in 1350 and held the see only about fifteen months. In 1351 contagious disease killed many in Verdun and left him disgusted with the bishopric.

He resigned it to Hugues de Bar for a pension of 1300 florins and returned to the papal court at Avignon. He died around 1352.
