Duke Odilo & his wife had one child:

1. TASSILO ([742]-11 Dec or 5 Jan after 794). Herimannus names "Tassilonem" son of "sororis suæ [=Pipinus] Hiltrudis filium"[96].

The Annales Metenses record the succession of "Tassilo filius eius [=dux Odilo]" after the death of his father in 749[98]. After the death of Tassilo's father, Grifo, brother of Pepin maiordomus of the Franks, invaded Bavaria where he was recognised as Duke but was deposed by his brother who installed his nephew as TASSILO II Duke of Bavaria[99]. Duke Tassilo swore vassalage to Pepin King of the Franks at Compiègne in 757[100]. Tassilo deserted King Pepin in Aquitaine in 763, returning to Bavaria[101]. The Salzburg Annals record that Tassilo subjugated Carinthia in 772[102]. He eventually surrendered to King Charles in 787 and renewed his oath of vassalage[103]. He rebelled again in 788, making contacts with the Avars who attacked the Franks, but was obliged by the king to be tonsured[104]. He entered the monastery of Jumièges, and finally renounced his duchy at the synod of Frankfurt in 794[105].

Einhard names "Liutberga…filia Desiderii regis Langobardorum" as the wife of "Tassilonem ducem"[108]. The wife of "Tassilonis ducis" is called "filia Desiderii regis" by Einhard[109]. Named as the wife of Duke Tassilo in the Royal Frankish Annals, which describe her as "his rancorous wife … a woman hateful to God". She and her daughters became nuns when her husband was deprived of his duchy in 788[110].
