Research Notes: Husband - Godfrey I "the Captive" Count of Verdun



From Wikipedia - Godfrey I, Count of Verdun :

Godfrey I (died 1002), called the Prisoner or the Captive (le Captif), sometimes the Old (le Vieux), was the count of Bidgau  and Methingau  from 959 and the count of Verdun  from 963 to his death. In 969, he obtained the margravate  of Antwerp  and Ename . Between 974 and 998, he was also the count of Hainault  and Mons .

History
He was the son of Gozlin , Count of Bidgau and Methingau, and Oda of Metz. He was the brother of Adalberon, Archbishop of Reims , who crowned Hugh Capet  the king of France .

He was the founder of the House of Limburg  or House of Ardennes-Verdun , a cadet branch of the House of Ardennes . He was always loyal to the Ottonians , whom he was related through his maternal grandmother.
He appears as the new count of Verdun in 963, though already count of Bidgau and Methingau through inheritance since 959. In 974, he became count of Mons, and Hainault jointly with Arnold, Count of Valenciennes , after the fall of Reginar IV . Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine , was a supporter of Reginar and defeated Godfrey and Arnold at Mons in 976, where the former was captured.

After his release, he was at the side of the Emperor Otto II  fighting Lothair of France  at Verdun in 985, but he was again taken captive and held several years. He was released in 987 by Hugh Capet, whose political ally Godfrey's family was: Adalberon, Godfrey's brother, having crowned Hugh and Godfrey being an enemy of Charles of Lower Lorraine, Hugh's Carolingian  rival.

In 989, he was made prisoner a third time by Herbert III of Vermandois . He was liberated before 995, when he appears at the synod of Mousson . In 998, he lost his Hainault portion (the county of Mons) to Reginar.

Family
In 963, he married Matilda, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony , of the Billung  family, a widow of Baldwin III of Flanders . He had the following issue:
 Frederick (d. 1022), count of Verdun
Godfrey  (d. 1023), count of Verdun and duke of Lower Lorraine  (1012-1023)
Adalberon (d. 988) , bishop of Verdun  (984-988)
Herman of Ename (d. 1024), count of Brabant (retired as a monk in the abbey of Verdun abt. 1020)
Gothelo  (d. 1044), margrave of Antwerp, duke of Lower (1023-1044) and later also Upper  (1033-1044) Lorraine
Bertram de Verdun, went to England  where he held the manor of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire .
Ermengarde (d. 1042), married Otto of Hammerstein, count in the Wettergau 
Ermentrude, married Arnold de Rumigny (d. 1010), lord of Florennes 
probably also an unnamed daughter, married Count Godizo of Aspelt

Research Notes: Husband - Godfrey II Count of Leuven, Landgrave of Brabant



Count of Leuven and Brussels, Landgrave of Brabant and Margrave of Antwerp. Also Duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfrey VII).

From Wikipedia - Godfrey II of Leuven :

Godfrey II (c.1110  - 13 June  1142 ) was the count of Leuven , landgrave of Brabant  by inheritance from 23 January  1139 . He was the son of Godfrey I  and Ida of Chiny. He was also the duke of Lower Lorraine  (as Godfrey VII), and as such also margrave  of Antwerp , by appointment in 1139 after the death of Duke Waleran .

He was first associated with his father in 1136 , when he first carried the ducal title. This was confirmed by Conrad III of Germany , who had married the sister of Godfrey's wife. Waleran left a son, Henry II of Limburg , who asserted his father's ducal rights. Godfrey and Henry entered into a war in which the latter was decisively and quickly destroyed. Godfrey did not long enjoy his victory. He was killed by a disease of the liver two years thence.

He was buried in St. Peter's Church  in Leuven .

He married Luitgarde, daughter of Berengar I of Sulzbach  and sister of Gertrude, wife of Conrad III of Germany , and Bertha , wife of Manuel I Comnenus , the emperor of Byzantium . He was succeeded by his son Godfrey III  in both the counties and the duchy.

Research Notes: Husband - Godfrey III Count of Louvain, Duke of Lorraine



Count of Leuven and Brussels, Landgrave of Brabank, Margrave of Antwerp and Duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfrey VIII).

From Wikipedia - Godfrey III, Count of Leuven :

Godfrey III (died August 21 , 1190 ) was count of Leuven  (or Louvain), landgrave of Brabant , margrave  of Antwerp , and duke of Lower Lorraine  (as Godfrey VIII) from 1142 to his death.

He was the son of Godfrey II  and Lutgarde of Sulzbach. He was still an infant at his succession (therefore called dux in cunis) of which a few Brabantian vassals sought to take advantage to get independent from the duke (Wars of Grimbergen , 1141-1159). On 30 March  1147 , Godfrey was present at the coronation of Henry Berengar , son of Conrad III of Germany , in Aachen . When Conrad left on Crusade, war began anew in 1148. Peace was elusive until the election of Conrad's successor, Frederick Barbarossa . By marriage to Margaret, daughter of Henry II of Limburg , Godfrey united two powerful and antagonistic houses in the region.

In 1159 Godfrey ended the war with the Berthout, lords of Grimbergen , by burning their impressive motte  at Grimbergen . In 1171, Godfrey was at war with Hainaut , but was defeated. In 1179, he gave his son Henry  in marriage to a niece of Philip of Alsace , Count of Flanders .

Between 1182 and 1184 Godfrey went on a Jerusalem campaign. In the interim, Barbarossa granted Henry  the title "Duke of Brabant ". Godfrey died in 1190, on 10 or 21 August. He left an increased territory and built the fortress of Nedelaer (near Vilvoorde ). The ducal title was transmitted to his son at the Diet  of Schwäbisch Hall  (September 1190).

Research Notes: Husband - Saint Gondulphus of Maastricht, Bishop of Tongres



From Ancestral Roots, line 190-6 (St. Gondolfus), "He was almost certainly father of Bodegeisel II (Gen. 7), not Bodegeisel I as shown in earlier editions."

From Wikipedia - Gondulphus of Tongeren :
Saint Gondulphus of Maastricht (also Gondolfus, Gundulfus, Gondulf, Gondon; born c. 524, died c. 6 July 607) was the Bishop of Tongres  and Bishop of Maastricht  in the sixth century.

His predecessor, Monulphus  (Monulf), transferred the seat of the bishopric from Tongeren  to Maastricht , which thenceforth was the actual residence of the bishops of Tongeren. However, the official title of the Bishop of Tongeren, episcopus Tungrorum, was retained until the eleventh century, even when the episcopal see had been transferred by Lambert of Maastricht  from Maastricht to Liège .

Bishop Gondulphus is a somewhat enigmatic figure indeed, one is inclined to question whether he be not identical with Monulphus. But the two saints must nevertheless be distinguished. Monulphus must have occupied the See of Tongeren until the end of the sixth or the beginning of the seventh century, while a Bishop of Maastricht named Betulphus was present at the Council of Paris  in 614. Gondulphus, then, would be inserted between Monulphus and Betulphus, at least if this Betulphus must not be identified with Gondulphus on the grounds that the case is analogous to that of the episcopal list of Mainz , where Bertulfus and Crotoldus must be reckoned identical. Furthermore, the episcopal lists of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, whose value is, however, not very great, ignore the historically attested Betulphus, and make Gondulphus the immediate successor of Monulphus. The biographies of Gondulphus, which are handed down to us from the Middle Ages, are merely an extract from the Vita Servatii of the priest Jocundus. They are quite without value and are full of legends. If they are to be believed, Gondulphus endeavoured to rebuild the town of Tongeren, which had been destroyed by the barbarian invasions. But heaven opposed his scheme, and miraculously manifested its desire to the saint. Furious wolves  fell upon the pagan colonists of this region, and devoured them before the eyes of the horrified bishop. Thus has legend quite obscured the authentic history of St. Gondulphus, the fact of his episcopacy at Maastricht being the only one that is authentic. According to local tradition he occupied the episcopal see for seven years and died about 607. This last statement does not tally with his presence at Paris in 614, if he is to be considered identical with the Betulphus who assisted at that council. In any case he was buried in the nave  of the church of Saint-Servais  at Maastricht, which had been magnificently restored by his predecessor, St. Monulphus.

The bodies of Monulphus and Gondulphus were solemnly exhumed in 1039 by the Bishops Nithard of Liège  and Gérard of Cambrai . An epitaph  commemorating this event was afterwards misinterpreted, and gave rise to a legend according to which the two saints arose from their tomb in 1039 in order to assist at the dedication of the church of Aachen  (Aix-la-Chapelle), and at the conclusion of the ceremony returned to their tomb to resume their eternal sleep.

Together with St. Monulphus, St. Gondulphus is secondary patron of the city and church of Maastricht. His feast is kept on 16 July  or 17 June .[citation needed ] The commemoration of the exhumation of 1039 is celebrated in August.

St. Gondulphus is known to have been married to Palatina de Troyes , they had a son named Baudgise D'Aquitaine II, who became Duke of Aquitaine , France.

Research Notes: Husband - Richard de Normandie



From http://cybergata.com/roots/441.htm :
 Background Information. 220 
Richard Fitz Gilbert, styled from his possession "de Bienfaite," "de Clare" and "de Tonbride," was son of Gilbert, comté de Brionne in Normandy, which Gilbert was son and heir of Godfrey, comté de Brionne, illegitimate son of Richard, Duc de Normandie.

~Cokayne's Complete Peerage, 2nd Edition, (Clare), Vol. III, p. 242
• Background Information. 732 
When Richard's father, William Longsword, was assassinated in 942, his Uncle, Bernard the Dane, brought Richard from Bayeyx, age ten years at the time, so that he might be solemnly invested with ducal sword and mantle and to receive homage of the Normans. He received the acknowledgement the Norman chiefs. King Louis captured and imprisoned the young Richard under the pretense of providing Richard with an education at Motleon. Richard, with the help of Osmon the Dane who had accompanied Richard to the king's court, was able to escape and return to Normandy. Louis, with the aid of Hugh the Great, attacked the Normans. The Kings of Denmark came to the assistance of the Normans and Louis was defeated.
