Odo (French: Eudes; c. 857 – 1 January 898) was the elected King of West Francia from 888 to 898. He was the first king from the Robertian dynasty, the parent house of the House of Capet. Before assuming the kingship, Odo was the count of Paris.^[2] His reign marked the definitive separation of West Francia from the Carolingian Empire, which would never be reunited.
