Baume Abbey in the context of Odo of Cluny
Odo of Cluny (French: Odon) (c. 878 – 18 November 942) was the second abbot of Cluny.
Born to a noble family, he served as a page at the court of Aquitaine. He became a canon of the Church of St. Martin in Tours, and continued his education in Paris under Remigius of Auxerre. Upon returning to Tours, Odo became disillusioned with the life of a canon and subsequently entered the Benedictine abbey at Baume, where he became superior of the abbey school.
