Betton, Count of Tonnerre

Betton, count of Tonnerre (died c. 616),[1] was a sixth-century member of the royal house of the Kingdom of Burgundy.[2]

It is claimed that he is also called "Blessed Betto", as the father of bishop Lupus of Sens (c. 573-c. 623) in the article on Sens in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia.[3][4]
