the Great, was
Count of Autun,

Duke of Burgundy from
965 to his death. He was the second son of
Hugh the Great,
Count of Paris, and Hedwige of Saxony and thus the younger brother of King
Hugh Capet.

Otto, Duke of Burgundy, on
22 February 965. He was elected by the Burgundian counts to succeed his brother and they gave him the name Henry.
In 973, he married
Gerberga of Mâcon, the widow of
Adalbert II of Italy, who had sought refuge at
Autun. Through Gerberga, he'd a stepson named
Otto William. He married a second time to
Gersenda, daughter of
William II of Gascony.
He died without any children of his own by his two wives and was succeeded by his stepson. His illegitimate children may be the progenitors of the line of the counts of
Vergy.
