Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Otto I (between 1167 and 1171 - 13 January 1200) was Count of Burgundy from 1190 to his death and briefly Count of Luxembourg from 1196 to 1197. He was the fourth son of Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa by his second wife Countess Beatrice I of Burgundy, heiress of Count Renaud III. Upon the death of his mother in 1184, his father granted him the Burgundian county, elevating him to the rank of a Count palatine (Freigraf). Haughty Otto however soon entered into several feuds: not only with the Anscarid lords of Auxonne and Macon, who claimed late Beatrice's heritage, but also with the Counts of Montbeliard, the French Duke Odo III of Burgundy and Duke Berthold V of Zahringen.
