He governed Burgundy during his father's absence on Crusade from Jun 1190. “Odo filius Hugonis ducis Burgundie” granted privileges to the abbey of Autun Saint-Martin by charter dated 1191[354]. He succeeded his father in 1192 as EUDES III Duke of Burgundy. He acquired the powerful fortress of Vergy by his second marriage in 1199. He renounced any rights over the duchy of Lorraine in 1203. He commanded a division at the battle of Bouvines in 1213. The Annales S. Benigni Divisionensis record the death in 1218 of "Oddo dux Burgundie cruce signatus…filius ducisse Lotoringie"[355]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1218 of "dux Odo Burgundie" and his burial "apud Cistercium"[356].

The Flandria Generosa specifies that on her (first) marriage she was given "Insulam et Duacum et plures…villas…iacentes, Caslethuin, Watenes, Bergas, Burburgium, totamque maritimmam regionem"[360]. The Flandria Generosa names "Mathildis regine Portusequalis" as wife of Count Philippe, specifying that she arranged the repatriation of her husband's body to "Claramvallem"[361]. After the death of her first husband, she received her widow's portion insouthern and coastal Flanders but increased taxes so much that she provokedrebellions at Veurne [Furnes] and the castellany of Bourbourg[362]. A charter dated 1195 records an agreement between the French king and "M.regina comitissa Flandrie" which records that the latter promisednot to remarryafter separating from "Odone duce Burgundie"[363]. The Flandria Generosa records that she was "amita" of "Fernando filio regis Portusequalis" and instrumental in arranging hismarriage to her first husband's great-niece Jeanne Ctss of Flanders[364]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1218 of "comitissa vetus de Flandria relicta comitis Philippi" and her burial next to her husband at Clairvaux[365]. She died when her carriage accidentally fell into a marsh near Furnes[366].

"Odo dux Burgundie" confirmed the donation by "domina Egidia, mater Alaidis uxoris mee ducisse Burgundie" to Colunge by charter dated Apr 1213[368]. Her origin is further deduced from the necrology of Cîteaux which records the death "XVI Kal Jan" of "Hugo Vergiaci pater ducissa"[369].
