Oda of Saxony
Oda of Saxony (877 – aft. 952) was a Saxon princess. She was the daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony (830/840 – 912) and Hedwiga of Babenberg. She married King Zwentibold of Lotharingia[1] and at his death in August 900 (when Oda must have been 23), she contracted a second marriage with Count Gerhard I of Metz.[2] From this union were born:
- Wigfried, abbot of St. Ursula in Cologne, and then archbishop of Cologne from 924 to 953.
- Oda (Uda) of Metz (d. 10 Apr 963), married Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau (d. 942).[2]
- A daughter of name unknown.
- Godfrey, count of the Jülichgau.
