Odo of Metz[a] or Eudes of Metz(fl. c. 806 – c. 811) was a Frankish[1] architect, considered of Armenian origin,[2][3] who lived in the Carolingian Empire during Charlemagne's reign.[4]
Nothing is known of Odo's life, training or education. It is possible he was of Armenian origin,[3][5][6] but the tradition stems from a perceived association between the innovative style of his works and early Armenian churches; there is no concrete evidence of his origins.[7]
