Conflict with Reims and Lorraine
- After securing Champagne, Odo launched aggressive campaigns against the clergy and nobility, bringing him into conflict with Ebles, Archbishop of Reims, and Theodoric I, Duke of Lorraine.
- His attack on Reims, one of the most important ecclesiastical centers in France, was particularly audacious, as it challenged both the authority of the French monarchy and the Holy Roman Empire.
