Also known as Otto-William of Burgundy and Otto Vilhelm of Burgandy
Otto-William was duke of Burgundy between 1002 and 1004. Otto-William was son of Adalbert, deposed King of Italy, and step-son of Otto-Henry, the Great, who he succeeded in the duchy at a young age.

Burgundy was annexed to the crown of France by king Robert II in 1004, and after this date, Otto-William was nominal count of Burgundy. Later Robert gave the duchy to his heir, future king Henry I of France.
He married Ermentrude of Reims, daughter of Count Renaud of Reims. Their children were: - Agnes of Burgundy, married (1) William V of Aquitaine; (2) Geoffrey II of Anjou; - Geberge of Burgundy, married Guilhem II of Provence; - Matilda of Burgundy, married Landri of Nevers; - Renaud I, Count of Burgundy.
Otto (Odo) Vilhelm was married a second time, before 1016, with Adelheid. He was a Count of Mācon from 981 to 986. He was a Count of Nevers. Acceded: Count of Burgundy, 985.
