Odo of Burgundy (1230 – 4 August 1266) was Count of Nevers and Auxerre and the heir of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy. His mother was Yolande of Dreux.[1] He died at Acre on 7 August 1266.[2]
He never inherited the duchy, due to his death before his father; Burgundy was thereafter ruled by Odo's brother Robert. Odo married Maud of Dampierre and had three daughters, all of whom became rulers of their parents' counties:
- Yolande II, Countess of Nevers (1247–1280), married 1)Jean-Tristan, prince of France and count of Valois (son of Louis IX of France);and 2)Robert III of Flanders[1]
- Margaret, Countess of Tonnerre (1250–1308), married king Charles I of Naples
- Adelaide, Countess of Auxerre (1251–1290)
