Biography Odo was the son of Feicko Botnia, a nobleman of Marrum, who lived on the Botnia stins (stronghold or nobles house). He would have been a descendant of the old Odo Botnia, who had built a stins at Marrum by 900. This stins was still inhabited by Helena Botnia in the year 1708. She was the last of the Botnia family. Unlike his predecessors, he belonged to the party of Vetkopers. Odo would unflinchingly and "kloekmoedig", but have been a cruel soldier, who, with his brother-in-law Jackla Jeppema, fear spread among the Schieringers (a rival faction). With the withdrawal from the Foswerd, Odo by way of murders, fires and looting inflicted much harm on the Schieringers in Westergo.

Rulers Of Frisia
Of the first historically verifiable rulers of Frisia, whether they are called dukes or kings, the last royal dynasty below is established by the chronicles of Merovingian kings of the Franks, with whom they were contemporaries. In these contemporary chronicles, they were styled ''dux'', a Latin term for leader which is the origin of the title ''duke'' and its cognates in other languages (''duc'', ''duce'', ''doge'', ''duque'', etc.). They were independent until the death of Radbod at the earliest. After coming under Frankish rule, Frisia was governed by counts the power of these counts was very limited due to the decentralized nature of the region specifically due to the terrain. Following the Treaty of Verdun and Treaty of Meersen the Frisians east of the Vlie came under the rule of the Saxon kings of East Francia, The Saxon counts that formally owned parts of Frisia generally held little power in the region and relied on local nobles to exploit the territory in exchange for p ...
