The county of Bar was part of the territory of the duchy of Upper Lotharingia and as such lay within the territory of the empire, although it was later incorporated into the kingdom of France. French influence in the area was always strong, as shown by the number of French or Lotharingian marriages of members of the comital family and the correspondingly small number of connections with German noble families. Otto I King of Germany temporarily ceded the area of Bar to Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of France in 942[1]. It reverted to imperial control in [951/59], maybe forming part of the dowry of Béatrix de France [Capet] when she married Frédéric [Wigeriche] who was installed as duke of Upper Lotharingia by King Otto in 959. Duke Frédéric constructed the castle of Bar on the banks of the river Ornain opposite the town of Bar. Its construction triggered protests from King Louis IV to King Otto, the former considering the area within his sphere of influence, and from the Bishop of Toul, who considered that part of the land belonged to one of his churches[2].
The comtes de Mousson inherited the castle of Bar from the family of the dukes of Upper Lotharingia on the marriage in 1038 between Sophie, co-heiress of Frédéric II Duke of Upper Lotharingia, and Louis Comte de Mousson (see Chapter 1). It was not until the first quarter of the 12th century that the family adopted their name from this castle (see Chapter 2).
Robert I Comte de Bar was created Marquis de Pont-à-Mousson by imperial order dated 13 Mar 1354. He adopted the title Duke of Bar around the same time, but this appears to have been a usurpation[3] (see Chapter 3).
LOUIS, son of RICHWIN Comte de Charpeigne & his wife Mathilde --- (-after 1019). A charter dated 1019, which records an agreement between Berthold Bishop of Toul and "Olricus miles", is subscribed by "Riquini comitis, Ludovicus comitis patris eius, item Ludovici filii eius, Theodorici fratris eius"[4]. same person as…? LOUIS ([1015]-[29 Aug 1071/1076]). This co-identity is proposed by Europäische Stammtafeln[5]. It is true that it presents no chronological difficulties, but it is not the only theory which has been proposed to explain the origin of Louis Comte de Mousson. Comte de Mousson. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comiti Montionis Ludovico" when recording his marriage[6]. The Herimanni Augiensis Chronicon records that "Ludowicus comes" expelled "Reginoldum principem, reginæ Agnetis avunculum, sed Heinrico regi inimicum" (Renaud Comte Palatin de Bourgogne) from "castellum…Mons Piligardæ" (Montbéliard/Mömpelgard)[7]. He had possessions in the south of Alsace and around Hagenau, covering the southern part of the county of Sundgau as far as Basel and including Héricourt, Belfort, Altkirch and Ferrette, as well as the château de Montbéliard temporarily[8]. He was in dispute with Gérard d'Alsace Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1057 and 1063 over the inheritance of Pope Leo IX, his maternal uncle[9]. "Heinricus…rex" founded a market at "in villa Villach…in comitatu Francisci Ludewici comitis" by charter dated 8 Feb 1060[10]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in pagis Cletgowe et Hegowe in comitatibus Gerungi et Lodawici comitis" to "comiti Eberhardo" by charter dated 1067[11]. "Heinricus…rex" donated property "in villa Chambo in pago Einriche in comitatu Lodowici comitis" to St Suitbertsstift at Kaiserswerth by charter dated 1067[12]. He appears to have challenged the succession of Thierry Duke of Lorraine in 1070, claiming the title himself[13]. Comte Louis is last recorded 29 Aug 1071 in a declaration of his son Frederic, but died before 1076 when his widow invested Sigefroi as abbot of Saint-Mihiel[14].
m (1038) SOPHIE of Upper Lotharingia, daughter of FREDERIC II Duke of Upper Lotharingia & his wife Mathilde of Swabia ([1018]-21 Jan 1093). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissa Barri…Sophia" as wife of "comiti Montionis Ludovico", specifying that she was sister of "Beatrix marchisa" but incorrectly naming "Sigefridi fratris Frederici" as their father[15]. Her share of the succession of her brother consisted of the abbey of Saint-Mihiel and its dependencies, the castles of Bar, Amance and Mousson, the southern part of her family's ancestral lands[16]. She entered into possession of these lands at the time of her marriage[17]. She requested Pibon Bishop of Toul to grant the franchise of the chapel in the château of Amance, the 1076 document specifying that the castle had belonged to her grandfather inherited from Graf Folmar[18]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "21 Jan" of "Sophia comitissa"[19].
Comte Louis & his wife had seven children, all of whom are named (as deceased) in the 8 Mar 1105 charter of the couple's daughter-in-law Ermentrude de Bourgogne, listed in the following order:
1. BRUNO (-young). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[20].
2. THIERRY ([1045]-1/2 Jan 1103, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Theodericum" as son of "comiti Montionis Ludovico" and his wife Sophie[21]. He was invested as Comte de Verdun by Richer Bishop of Verdun. (bleow)
3. LOUIS (-after 1080). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[22]. Seigneur de Commercy. According to Jean de Bayon, "Ludovicum…Sophiæ veteris filium" was captured by "Gerardus comes frater Theodorici Lotharingiæ ducis germanus" in [1071] and held captive for a long time[23]. Louis witnessed the charter dated 1180 under which his mother Sophie ruled on the dispute between the abbot of Saint-Mihiel and Boson de Viocourt, avoué of Houécourt[24].
4. FREDERIC (-29 Jun 1091, bur [Canossa]). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[25]. The mid-12th century Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theodericum de Monceons et Fredericum, fratres" as sons of "Sofia [filia Friderici ducis]"[26]. His affiliation is mentioned in his subscription to the 29 Aug 1071 donation of his maternal aunt Beatrix Signora di Canossa[27]. The Chronicon of Bernold records that "Frederici comitis" was the son of "domnæ Sophiæ et Ludowici comitis", that he died "1091 III Kal Iul" and was buried "sancti Pauli"[28]. Graf, Herr von Lützelburg und im Hagenau. He was a powerful lord in Swabia who supported Rudolf von Rheinfelden as anti-king of Germany. He arrived in Italy in 1070, accompanying his maternal aunt Beatrix Signora di Canossa and her daughter Matilda later Ctss of Tuscany who benefited from his military help during the succeeding years[29]. He was installed [17 Sep1079/May 1080] as Marchese di Susa by his [future] wife's paternal grandmother[30]. This presumably took place after the death in Jan 1080 of his wife's uncle Amédée II Comte de Savoie, who had succeeded his older brother as Marchese di Susa in 1078. Emperor Heinrich IV captured the marquisate of Tuscany by force in 1092. m (Turin May 1080) AGNES de Maurienne, daughter of PIERRE I Comte de Savoie & his wife Agnès de Poitou ([1066/70]-after 1110). The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Her birth date is estimated from the marriage date of her parents, her mother's estimated birth date, and the fact that Agnes herself gave birth to three children before her husband died in 1091. She became a nun after her husband died. She was still alive in 1100[31]. Rivaz, in his compiled index of Burgundian charters. notes a charter dated 1110 under which Pope Pascal II confirmed a donation by "Agnes de Savoie, fille de Pierre de Savoie marquis d'Italie" to the monastery of Saint-Benigne de Fruttuaria[32]. Marchese Friedrich & his wife had three children:
a) PIERRE (-before 1140). He succeeded his father in 1091 as Herr zu Lützelburg. He succeeded his maternal great-grandmother as Marchese di Susa in Dec 1091[33], as a minor although the identity of his regent has not yet been established. He was expelled from Susa in 1092 by Emperor Heinrich IV, who claimed the territory by right of his late first wife, who had been Peter's maternal aunt. The Chronicon of Bernold records that in 1092 "in Longobardia Chounradus filius Henrici regis" captured property of "Adalheidæ Taurinensis comitissæ" which the latter had given to her "nepos filius Frederici comitis", without naming him[34]. He retired to Lützelburg in Alsace. [m firstly ---. There is no proof of this first marriage apart from the fact that Renaud is described as Pierre´s only son by his wife named Ita in another source (see below), and that Renaud names Henri as his brother. It is possible that Henri was illegitimate.] m [secondly] ITA, daughter of ---. The Notitia Fundationis Cellæ Sancti Iohannis records a donation of "comes Petrus de Luzelburg, coniuge sua Itha et unico filio Regenhaldo" dated 1126 "in villa Meyenhemswilre"[35]. She was recorded as living with her husband in 1126[36]. Pierre & his [first wife] had one child:
i) HENRI (-1148). Renaud, son of Pierre and brother of Henri avoué of Strasbourg, donated Lambach to the church of Saint-Martin[37]. As mentioned above, it is possible that Henri was illegitimate.
Pierre & his [second] wife had one child:
ii) RENAUD de Lützelbourg (before 1126-after [1150]). The Notitia Fundationis Cellæ Sancti Iohannis records a donation of "comes Petrus de Luzelburg, coniuge sua Itha et unico filio Regenhaldo" dated 1126 "in villa Meyenhemswilre"[38]. He succeeded his father as Graf und Herr von Lützelburg. Renaud, son of Pierre and brother of Henri avoué of Strasbourg, donated Lambach to the church of Saint-Martin[39]. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensium records that "castrum…Lucelnburch" transferred to Etienne Bishop of Metz "iure hereditario" in [1150] but does not name Renaud[40].
b) BRUNO ([1086]-). According to Szabolcs de Vajay[41], he was the prelate "Bruno" who is recorded as having accompanied his [supposed] first cousin Berthe [de Savoie] to Aragon when she married King Pedro I in 1097. This may appear unlikely considering that Bruno cannot have been born much earlier than [1086] and therefore would have been no more than 10 years old at the most at the time of King Pedro's marriage. Canon, later doyen at Strasbourg cathedral[42].
c) SIGEFROI (-after 1119). Avoué of Strasbourg, he is named in documents dated 1116 and 1119[43].
5. MATHILDE (-[28 Nov 1091/8 Mar 1105]). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[44]. She was present with her mother at the château de Bar 28 Nov 1091[45]. Her marriage is confirmed by an undated charter under which she donated property to Sainte-Croix, Wolfenheim in her husband´s memory[46]. She addressed a charter pre-1100 to the abbey of Sainte-Croix, Wolfenheim, in which she names her maternal grandmother[47]. Grosdidier de Matons reports a claim that Mathilde married secondly "Valéran Redon de la maison de Crépy-en-Valois"[48], which is based on a spurious document allegedly dated 20 Aug 1118 in which "Renauldz quenz de Bar et de Monceonz" confirmed an agreement whereby "ma ante madame Mahauz monsigneor Walranz Redon sun mari" received Fontenoy and Nanteuil-le-Haudoin under his wife's inheritance[49]. He highlights the apparent confusion with Clémence, great niece of Mathilde and daughter of Renaud I, who married Thiébaut de Crépy Seigneur de Nanteuil-le-Haudoin and speculates that the document in question was a 17th century copy of a spurious act which was fabricated in 1313 by Renaud de Bar Bishop of Metz to prove a property claim against the king of France[50]. m HUGO [VIII] Graf von Dagsburg, son of HEINRICH [I] Graf von Egisheim und Dagsburg & his wife --- (-murdered Strasbourg 5 Sep 1089).

The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1092 VII Kal Nov…in civitate Leucorum" of "Beatrix soror Friderici marchionis et uxor quondam Berthaldi ducis" and her burial by the bishop of the same place[54]. No children. m ([1056]) as his second wife, BERTHOLD von Zähringen Graf im Breisgau, son of BEZZELIN von Villingen & his wife [Luitgard] --- (-Limburg 5/6 Nov 1078, bur Hirsau).

THIERRY de Mousson, son of LOUIS Comte de Mousson & his wife Sophie of Upper Lotharingia ([1045]-1/2 Jan 1103, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Theodericum" as son of "comiti Montionis Ludovico" and his wife Sophie[56]. "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[57]. On his marriage, he entered into possession of the château and seigneurie de Montbéliard[58]. He succeeded his father in [1071/76] in his territories of Altkirch, Ferrette, and around Hagenau. He was present at the 1076 enfranchisement of the chapel in the castle of Amance[59]. He inherited the region of the future county of Bar from his mother in 1093. He had taken a vow to join the First Crusade but was released from it due to illness. He was invested as Comte de Verdun after 1096 by Richer Bishop of Verdun[60]. He dictated his testament in 1102 at the castle of Altkirch[61]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "1 Jan" of "Henricus et Theodoricus comites"[62].
m ([1065]) ERMENTRUDE de Bourgogne heiress of Montbéliard, daughter of GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- ([1050/55][63]-1106 or after, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ermentrudem" as wife of "Theodericum [filius comiti Montionis Ludovico]" specifying that she was heiress to Montbéliard[64].

It is assumed from the expression "suis antecessoribus" that all those so described were deceased at the date of the foundation. She subscribed her son Renaud's act of sale of the fortress of Commercy to the abbé de Saint-Mihiel in 1106[66].
Comte Thierry & his wife had ten children:
1. FREDERIC de Mousson ([1174/78]-19 Jul [1160], bur Oelenberg).

- COMTES de MONTBELIARD.
4. LOUIS de Mousson ([1077/79]-murdered 1102). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[74]. It seems unlikely that Louis de Mousson could have been born much later than [1077/79] bearing in mind his active participation in the First Crusade. He participated in the First Crusade, was present at the siege of Nikaia[75]. William of Tyre names "Ludovicus de Moncons" among those present at the capture of Antioch in 1098[76]. Albert of Aix names "Ludovicus Monzuns filius comitis Tirrici de Muntbiliarht" among those present with Adhémar Bishop of Le Puy on the First Crusade[77]. He returned to Altkirch before 1102, when he was killed by some of his own servants[78]. He was referred to as one of her deceased children in the 8 Mar 1105 document of his mother.
5. ETIENNE de Mousson (-Metz 29 Dec 1162, bur Metz Cathedral). The Consecratio Ecclesiæ Senonensis names "Stephani pater comes Theodericus et avunculus domnus Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus, post urbis Romæ papa" in relation to the consecration of Sens in 1124[79]. The Gesta Alberonis Archiepiscopi names "episcopum Stephanum, fratrem Rainaldi comes de Monzon"[80].

He accompanied his brother Renaud on the Second Crusade in 1147[82].
6. GUILLAUME de Mousson (-before 8 Mar 1105). The mid-12th century Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names (in order) "Rainaldum, Theodericum, Fridericum, Willelmum et Stephanum episcopum Metensem fratres" as sons of "Theodericus"[83]. "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[84].
7. HUGUES de Mousson (-before 8 Mar 1105). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[85].
8. GUNTHILDE de Mousson (-21 Feb 1131). Her father founded the abbey of Bibliesheim in 1100 and installed his daughter Gunthilde as first abbess[86]. She was canonised[87].
9. AGNES de Mousson (-after 1140). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the sister of "Theodoricum de Monte Beliardi, Fredericum de Ferretes…et Renaldum Strabum comitem de Barro Ducis" as the wife of "Hermanno de Salmis", and their sons "Henricum de Salmis et fratrem eius Theodericum abbatem sancti Pauli Virdunensis"[88]. She is named in the charter dated 1174 under which "Henricus comes de Salmis" confirmed donations to the abbey of Haute-Seille by "patrui mei comitis Hermani aviæque meæ Agnetis"[89]. A further detail is added by the charter dated 1186 under which "Henricus comes de Salmis" confirmed donations to the abbey of Haute-Seille by "Agnetem comitissam de Langesten aviam meam, Henricum patrem meum et Hermanum fratrem eius, consules"[90]. "Agnes comitissa" confirmed donations to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur for the soul of "comitis Godefridi mariti mei"[91], "Godefridi" presumably being a copyist's error for "Hermanni". m ([1104]) HERMANN Graf von Salm, son of HERMANN Graf von Salm King of Germany & his wife Agnes von Rheineck ([1075]-[1135]).
10. MATHILDE de Mousson . Suger records the marriage of "Albertus nobilis comes Morspecensis" and "filiam Theoderici viri clarissimi de Monte Beliardo" who brought her husband various possessions of Saint-Denis "Blitestorp, Tatingum, Sulces, Fardulviler, Fehingas, Viler, Hoenchirche, Torneswile, Pretene" as dowry[92]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. m ADALBERT Graf von Mörsberg, son of --- (-before 30 Aug 1125).
RENAUD, son of THIERRY de Mousson & his wife Ermentrude de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1075/77]-on ship in the Mediterranean 25 Feb or 10 Mar 1149). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[93]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldum comitem filium Theoderici Barrensis"[94]. Comte de Bar et de Mousson. As "comte Renaud", he sold the fortress of Commercy to the abbé de Saint-Mihiel in 1106[95]. During the dispute between Pope Pascal II and Heinrich V King of Germany concerning the election of Richard de Grandpré as Bishop of Verdun, comte Renaud arrested the pope's representative and imprisoned him in the château de Grandpré. The Bishop-elect confiscated the avouerie of Dieulouard from Renaud and gave it to Guillaume Comte de Luxembourg, in addition investing the latter with the counties of Stenay and Mouzay. The resulting war lasted from 1111 to 1114, ending with the storming of the château de Bar in Jun 1114 and the Emperor's capture of comte Renaud, who was released in return for a promise of homage. Comte Renaud reached a compromise with Guillaume de Luxembourg, which included the cession of Stenay and Mouzay. Comte Renaud also acquired the county of Verdun, although the citizens of the town wounded him while resisting his occupation[96]. Emperor Heinrich V confiscated Verdun in 1120, in revenge for Renaud's military assistance for the installation of Henri de Blois as Bishop of Verdun, and awarded the county to Henri Comte de Grandpré. Comte Renaud finally made peace at Chalade in 1124 and regained possession of Verdun[97]. "Comes Rainaldus" restored property at Maidières to Liège Saint-Lambert on the advice of "fratris nostri Stephani Metensi episcopi" by charter dated 1128, subscribed by "comes Paganus, comes Folmarus, Hugonellus heres et filius meus"[98]. He claimed the fortress of Bouillon from the Bishop of Liège, as successor to Godefroi de Bouillon [Boulogne] Duke of Lower Lotharingia, to whom he was distantly related through his paternal grandmother, and captured the castle in 1134. The dispute continued, and the bishop besieged the castle in 1141, the death of his oldest son finally persuading Renaud to relinquish possession 22 Sep 1141[99]. Comte Renaud took part in the Second Crusade in 1147, but died during the return sea voyage[100]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "V Kal Mar" of "Raynardus comes Barensis"[101].
[Note: uncorroborated first marriage. According to Poull[102], Comte Renaud married twice. The author states that this first wife gave birth to a child during the siege of Mousson castle by imperial troops in 1113. He cites Laurent de Liège, although this source makes no mention of any birth in his detailed description of the siege of the castle[103]. No other indication has been found of this alleged first marriage or the birth of a son in 1113. Poull dates the alleged first marriage to [1110], although he does not explain the basis for his argument.]
m (before [1120]) GISELE de Vaudémont, widow of RENIER [III] Comte de Toul, daughter of GERARD Comte de Vaudémont & his wife Helvidis [Helwigis] von Egisheim (-after 1141). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Wanderii Montis Hugonem et sororem eius Gislam" as children of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" & his [second] wife, specifying that Gisela was "comitissa Barri"[104]. Her first marriage is deduced from the same source which records that "comes Raynaldus Barri" became the stepfather ("vitricus") of "comitis Frederici Tullensis et fratrum suorum Theoderici et Wedrici" although without naming his wife[105]. It should be noted that these two texts do not establish beyond doubt that the widow of Renier Comte de Toul was also the daughter of Gérard Comte de Vaudémont. It is therefore not impossible that Comte Renaud married twice, firstly to Gisèle daughter of Comte Gérard, and secondly to the unnamed widow of Comte Renier. However, no indication has yet been found in the primary sources to indicate that this is correct.
Comte Renaud & his wife had seven children:
1. HUGUES de Bar (-Château de Bouillon 29 Sep 1141, bur Saint-Mihiel). Laurent de Liège records that "Raynaldi" captured "tribus castellis" in 1134 of which "filius eius Hugo" held "Eventronis-villam" (Watronville)[106]. Reiner's Triumphale records a siege "XVI Kal Sep" in 1141 in which "duo filii Rainaldi, Ugo…natu maior, et Rainaldus iunior" fought[107].

He succeeded his father in 1149 as Comte de Bar. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death "1170…in festo sancti Laurentii" of "comes Barri iunior Raynaldus"[110]. In a later passage the same source records that he was buried "in abbatia sancti Michaelis"[111].

The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the second wife of "comes Rainaldus [de Claromonte]" as "comitissam de Dammartin, filiam comitis Rainaldi de Monzuns"[130], the reference to "comitissam de Dammartin" presumably resulting from confusion with the couple's daughter Mathilde who married Aubry [II] Comte de Dammartin (see below). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comites de Claromonte Belvacensi" as descended from "una…sorore eiusdem comitis [=comes Barri iunior Raynaldus]"[131].

The Chronicon Hanoniense records the birth in Jul 1186 of "Ermensendem" daughter of "comes Namurcensis Henricus" and his wife Agnes[142]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the betrothal in 1187 of "Ermensendis" and "comiti Campanensi Henrico"[143]. Her first betrothal was arranged by Comte Henri in order to guarantee a suitably strong protector for his daughter in light of his dispute with Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut regarding the eventual succession to his counties but the arrangement was discontinued after the 1190 imperial decision in favour of Comte Baudouin[144]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 records the marriage of "Theobaldus comes Barrensis" and "filiam Henrici comitis ceci…Ermensendem"[145]. Her husband bought the counties of Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche, with the approval of Philipp King of Germany, and besieged Philippe Marquis de Namur in his castle at Namur, which forced the negotiation of the 1199 treaty of Dinant[146].

The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "apud Bristoll vigilia S Matthaæi Apostoli" 20 Sep [1293] of "Alienora regis Angliæ flia primogenita" and "domino Henrico comitis de Baroduc"[173]. Poull gives no death date for Eleanor, but says that she returned to England after her husband died and that 8 May 1304 her father started negotiations for her marriage with Robert, son of Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Mahaut Ctss d'Artois[74]. This seems unlikely as Robert de Bourgogne was born in 1300, so was over 30 years younger than Eleanor. Comte Henri III & his wife had three children:
a) ELEONORE de Bar . If the parentage of Eleonore is correct, and if she was the legitimate daughter of her father, she must have been his first child as she gave birth to one known child by her husband who died in 1309. m LLYWELLYN ap Owen Lord of Iscoed, son of OWEN ap Maredudd & his wife Angharad of Cydewain (-1309).
