  Eudes of Aquitaine Information
Eudes of Aquitaine (also known as Odon or Odo), was Duke of Gascony (1032-1039), and then Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitiers between 1038 and 1039, succeeding his half-brother William VI of Aquitaine.
Eudes was the second son of William V of Aquitaine by his second wife Prisca (also known as Brisque), sister of Duke Sans VI Guilhem of Gascony.
Eudes died in battle on March 10, 1039 while defending his recently acquired title of Duke of Aquitaine.

  Aquitaine - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
In 781 Charlemagne bestowed Aquitaine upon his young son, Louis, and as Louis was generally described as a king, Aquitaine is referred to during the Carolingian period as a kingdom, and not as a duchy.
Aquitaine as it came to the English kings stretched as of old from the Loire to the Pyrenees, but its extent was curtailed on the south-east by the wide lands of the counts of Toulouse.
The name Guienne, a corruption of Aquitaine, seems to have come into use about the 10th century, and the subsequent history of Aquitaine is merged in that of Gascony and Guienne.

After the separation of Gascony from Aquitaine (7th cent.), the area N of the Garonne was considered Aquitaine proper.
From 670, Aquitaine was ruled by semi-independent native dukes, but an Arab invasion (718) forced the Aquitanian duke Eudes to seek the protection of the Frankish ruler Charles Martel, who defeated (732) the Arabs.
After the death (838) of Louis's son Pepin I, Louis added Aquitaine to the West Frankish kingdom of Neustria (France) and granted it to his youngest son Charles the Bald (Charles II, emperor of the West).

 The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society, 718-1050
True, Aquitaine and Provence, which were menaced by this Moslem invasion, were nominally part of the Frankish domains he ruled as mayor of the palace; and true also, Eudes, duke of Aquitaine and a partisan of some of the later Merovingians, was hostile to him and his pretensions.
Thus in Aquitaine the submission of Eudes to Charles Mattel in 732 did not mean a Carolingian Aquitaine, but a tie, fragile in nature, made necessary by Eudes' defeat at the hands of the Moslems.
In Aquitaine during the fierce campaigns of 760-779 we again and again hear of Franks whom Pepin stationed in the castles and fortresses of the region.

Eudes of Aquitaine was well aware that his greatest enemy was not Muslim: The real threat was the Franks under Charles Martel.
Charles wanted Aquitaine, and Eudes was not only master of Aquitaine but also the hero of Toulouse and a possible rallying point for those opposing the Franks - in short, an obstacle in the way of Charles's expansionist ambitions.
Eudes had probably, by this time, disbanded a good part of his levies; he was attacked by an Arab army and beaten at Bordeaux, the city the Arabs called al-Burdil.

 Chapter One: The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society 718-1050
The largest of these was an Aquitaine which lay south of the Loire and west of the Rhone Valley, with its southern borders reaching the Narbonnaise in the east and a Gascon frontier along the Garonne in the west.
Aquitaine had been part of the Merovingian Frankish state since the time of Clovis, but by the eighth century was controlled by a duke or princeps called Eudes.
Though it had not shared the political history of Aquitaine and Provence, like them it seems to have had an instinct for autonomy, which in the late seventh century led to a serious revolt by a local Gothic magnate called Paul, a rising which had to be suppressed by Wamba, king of Visigothic Spain.

Odo (Eudes) of Aquitaine: At least two Dukes of Acquitaine (one born around 1012), which included much of southern France between about 1000 and 1200, were named Odo.
He was raised in the households of Count Fulk II of Anjou and Duke William of Aquitaine, received the tonsure when he was nineteen, received a canonry at St. Martin's in Tours, and then spent several years studying at Paris, particularly music, under Remigius of Auxerre.
The privilege empowered him to unite several abbeys under his supervision and to receive at Cluny monks from abbeys not yet reformed; the greater number of the reformed monasteries, however, remained independent, and several became centres of reform.
