Odo of Bayeux was a prominent figure in 11th-century England and Normandy. He was the half-brother of William the Conqueror and served as the Bishop of Bayeux. Odo played a significant role in the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, supporting William's claim to the English throne. In addition to his ecclesiastical duties, Odo was also a military leader. He is famously depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, which illustrates the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings. Odo's influence extended beyond religion, as he was involved in the governance of England during William's reign.
