Odo of Burgundy, in FrenchEudes de Bourgogne (1230 – 4 August 1266), was theCount of Nevers,Auxerre andTonnerre and son ofHugh IV, Duke of Burgundy andYolande of Dreux.^[1]

In 1265, Odo became one of the last European barons to lead a crusading force to theHoly Land. Among his fifty knights wasErard of Valery. He defendedAcre when SultanBaybars I harassed it on 1 June 1266 in advance of hisbesieging Safad. He died at Acre on 7 August 1266 and was buried in the church of Saint Nicholas.^[2] He left all his wealth to pay his followers and to endow hospitals and religious institutions. He was described by theTemplar of Tyre as a "holy man", and his tomb attracted veneration. Within a year of his death, the poetRutebeuf wrote aComplainte du comte Eudes de Nevers, a lament for a valiant knight and also for the city that lost its defender.^[3]
