Duke of Burgundy Eudes (The Red) Capet-Burgundy I (Eudes I Capet Borel, Eudes Borel of Burgundy) 
Eudes, known as The Red, was born in 1058.1 The Red's father was Henry Capet-Burgundy and his mother was Sibylle Borrel. His paternal grandparents were Duke of Burgundy Robert (The Old) Capet-Burgundy I and Helie de Semur-en-Brionais; his maternal grandparents were Berengar Ramon Borrel and Gisella de Luca. He had four brothers and two sisters, named Hugh, Robert, Renauld, Henry, Helie and Beatrice. He was the second oldest of the seven children. He died at the age of 45 on March 23rd, 1103 in Tarsus, Cilicie, Asia Minor.1 General Notes
Eudes I, surnamed Borel and called the Red, (1058–23 March 1103) was duke of Burgundy between 1079 and 1103. Eudes was the second son of Henry of Burgundy and grandson of Robert I. He became Duke of Burgundy following the abdication of his older brother, Hugh I, who retired to become a Benedictine monk. Eudes married Sibylla of Burgundy (1065 - 1101), daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy.
An interesting incident is reported of this robber baron by an eyewitness Eadmer, biographer of Anselm of Canterbury. While Saint Anselm was progressing through Eudes's territory on his way to Rome in 1097, the bandit, expecting great treasure in the archbishop's retinue, prepared to ambush and loot it. Coming upon the prelate's train, the duke asked for the archbishop, whom they had not found. Anselm promptly came forward and took the duke by surprise, saying "My lord duke, suffer me to embrace thee." The flabbergasted duke immediately suffered the bishop to embrace him and offered himself as Anselm's humble servant.
He was a participant in the ill-fated Crusade of 1101.
