Oda of Saxony (877 – aft. 952) was a Saxon princess. She was the daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony (880 – 912) and Hedwiga of Babenberg. She married King Zwentibold of Lotharingia[1] and at his death in August 900 (when Oda was younger than 15), she contracted a second marriage with Count Gerhard I of Metz.[2] From this union were born:
- Wigfried, abbot of St. Ursula in Cologne, and then archbishop of Cologne from 924 to 953.
