Odo I (or Eudes I) was a West Frankish prelate who served as abbot of Corbie in the 850s and as bishop of Beauvais from around 860 until his death in 881. He was a courtier and a diplomat, going on missions to East Francia and the Holy See. He wrote a lost treatise on Easter against the Greek practice. He also wrote a passion of Saint Lucian, modelled on the hagiographical work of Hilduin, and was the first to portray Lucian as the founding bishop of Beauvais. ==Abbot== In 852, or at least before April 853, Paschasius Radbertus was removed and Odo installed as abbot of Corbie. In 855 Corbie received a privilege from Pope Nicholas I. During Odo's abbacy, the monk Ratramnus wrote the treatise ''De anima'' (On the Soul). The two developed an important working relationship, with Odo depending on Ratramnus to right tracts on pressing issues even after Odo became a bishop. In 859, Vikings under Weland attacked Corbie, which Odo ably defended, according to Lupus of Ferrières. It was in this same wide-ranging raid that Ermenfrid, Odo's predecessor at Beauvais, was probably killed. The date of his death is established as 25 June in an obituary calendar preserved in Beauvais Cathedral, but the exact year is disputed. Most probably it was in 859, as indicated by the ''Annales Bertiniani'', but the canons of the council of Tuzey, dated 22 October 860, bear Ermenfrid's signature. Philip Grierson and Charles Delettre both accepted the authenticity of the Tuzey canons and thus placed his death in June 861, pushing back the start of Odo's episcopate by two years. The electors initially chose one Fromold to succeed Ermenfrid, but he was rejected as unqualified, and their second choice was Odo. A letter of Hincmar's may allude to Fromold's rejection by a synod, which would probably be that of Tuzey. If that is the case, then Odo's election would have occurred in October–November 860. The validity of the election was upheld in a decree (''decretum'') Odo had drawn up and witnessed by Archbishop Hincmar of Reims. He was consecrated before November 860, since he was senior to Bishop Raginelm of Noyon, who was consecrated on 7 November that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Odo I of Beauvais」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
