In Reply to: Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. by Pat Kemp	of 2431

I didn't do a great deal of research on the children of Odo but I did find he had at least one illegitimate son, Jean (John) de Bayeux. Jean died c.1131.

[Detlev Schwennicke, Europaische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europaischen Staaten, Neue Folge, Marburg, Germany: Verlag von J. A. Stargardt, Band III Teilband 4, Das Feudale Frankreich und Sien Einfluss auf des Mittelalters, 1989, Tafel 694B]

"... John was held in great esteem at the court of Henry I for his eloquence and probity (Oderic, ed Le Prevost, vol. iii, p. 264)"

[George Edward Cokayne, The Complete Peerage of England Scotland Ireland Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant Extinct or Dormant, The St. Catherine Press, Ltd., London, Volume VII, Husee to Lincolnshire, 1929, p. 129 footnote (c)]

These are the two sources I used and notice that a third (Oderic Vitalis, Ecclesiastical History) is referenced by the information found in the CP. Hope this helps
