The county of Namur lay within imperial jurisdiction and was part of the duchy of Lower Lotharingia. The pagus Lommensis (Lommegau, in German) was the predecessor of the county of Namur, although it is not certain that the two were precisely co-extensive. The division of Lotharingian territories agreed 8 Aug 870 between Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and his half-brother Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks allocated "…comitatum…Lomensem…" to King Charles[1]. Vanderkindere suggests that the Lommensis was one of the counties held by Giselbert, father of Reginar [I] Comte de Hainaut[2]. The earliest specific mention so far identified of a count in this pagus is a charter dated 884. Thereafter, only isolated references have been found until the early 10th century. It has not so far proved possible to prove any family relationship between the earliest counts (see Chapter 1). Berengar, referred to in early 10th century sources as count in the pagus Lommensis, is first named as Comte de Namur in a charter dated 919. It is assumed that he constructed the first castle at Namur, presumably at that time a mere wooden fortification, although the primary source which confirms this has not yet been identified. Flodoard's Annals record that in 960 Comte Robert I, Berengar's successor, fortified the castle of Namur against Bruno Archbishop of Köln, son of Henrich I King of Germany[3], who was Robert's suzerain as duke of Lotharingia. Robert I's descendants in the male line continued to rule the county of Namur until the late 12th century (see Chapter 2). It is assumed that they were vassals of the dukes of Lower Lotharingia, after Emperor Heinrich II confirmed the establishment of this duchy in 1012, although the primary sources which confirm this have not yet been identified.
Henri de Namur, son of Godefroi Comte de Namur, succeeded his maternal cousin in 1136 as Comte de Luxembourg, the latter being united with Namur after Henri succeeded his father three years later. A succession crisis was triggered in Namur and Luxembourg after the unexpected birth in 1186 of a daughter to the septuagenarian Comte Henri, who had previously designated his brother-in-law Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut as his successor. The matter was adjudicated by Heinrich VI King of Germany in favour of the Comte de Hainaut, and later confirmed by Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" who created him Marquis de Namur. Under the compromise agreed in 1190, Namur was transferred immediately to Hainaut, to which the counties of Laroche and Durbuy would also revert after Comte Henri died. The arrangement did not specify the fate of Luxembourg, but Comte Henri continued to rule this county. The matter did not end there. Thibaut I Comte de Bar, who married Ermesinde de Luxembourg in 1197, besieged Philippe Marquis de Namur in his castle and forced the negotiation of the Treaty of Dinant (signed 26 Jul 1199), under which Baudouin IX Count of Flanders and Hainaut (older brother of Marquis Philippe) inherited the larger part of the county of Namur, while Ermensende retained the counties of Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche, as well as that part of the county of Namur which lay on the right bank of the river Meuse. On the death of Marquis Philippe in 1212, Namur was inherited by his sister Yolande, the wife of Pierre [II] Seigneur de Courtenay who was later elected as Pierre I Latin Emperor of Constantinople (see Chapter 3). Four of her children succeeded successively as Marquis de Namur, until 1263 when her youngest son Baudouin, ex-Emperor of Constantinople, sold his rights to Namur to Guy de Dampierre Count of Flanders.
Guy Count of Flanders appointed his son Jean as governor of the county of Namur in 1297, and transferred his rights to the county to him in 1298 (see Chapter 4). Jean and his successors used the title "Comte de Namur". The precise process by which the title "Marquis" ceased to be used has not so far been researched. As the county of Namur continued to lie within imperial jurisdiction, it is unclear why use of the title would not have continued, despite the territory being held by a younger branch of the family of the counts of Flanders who were at that time vassals of the kings of France. One possibility is that the Flemish counts did not wish the junior branch of their family to bear a title which was hierarchically superior to their own. Jean III Comte de Namur, last legitimate descendant in the male line of Comte Jean I, sold the county of Namur to Philippe "le Bon" Duke of Burgundy 23 Apr 1421, subject to a continuing life interest. On the death of Comte Jean in 1429, the county was incorporated into the Burgundian territories in the Low Countries which, by a twist of dynastic fate, passed to the Habsburg family as a result of the marriage in 1477 of Marie, daughter and heiress of the last Valois duke of Burgundy, to Archduke Maximilian.
The families of other nobility in the county of Namur are set out in Chapter 5.
1. ROBERT, son of --- (-after [884]). Emperor Karl III granted property "in comitatu Laumacense in villa…Merendrec" to "Sanctio" vassal of "Rotbertus comes" by undated charter, placed in the compilation with charters dated 884[4]. This document represents the earliest mention so far identified of a specific count in "comitatus Lomacensis", although the edition indicates doubts about the authenticity of the charter. It is unclear from the text whether Count Robert was count within the territory but this is a reasonable assumption. The onomastic connection with the later counts of Namur is obvious.
1. BERENGAR, son of --- ([875/85]-before 946). The origins of Count Berengar are unknown. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when he is named in the charter dated 907 (see below). Comte in pagus Lommensis. "Hludouucus…rex" confirmed the donation by "bone memoriæ Kisala illustris femina" of the abbey of Fosse "in pago Lominse in comitatu Perengarii" to the church of Liège with the consent of "…Kepeharti…comitis" by charter dated 26 Oct 907 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "Purchart filius Vualahonis"[5]. Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of Germany confirmed a donation of property including "…in pago ac in comitatu Lummensi…cuius nunc adest comes Perengarius" to the church of Tongern at the request of "Kepehardus et Reginharius comites" and with the consent of "Albuini eo tempore illius comitis" by charter dated 18 Jan 908[6]. Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks restored Kloster Süsteren to the abbey of Prüm by charter dated 19 Jan 916 which names "fidelium nostrorum…Widricus comes palatii, Richuuinus comes, Gislebertus, Matfridus, Beringerius comites, Theodericus comes, Reinherus comes, Erleboldus"[7]. "Berengarii comitis Namurcensis" subscribed a charter dated 2 Jun 919 under which Gerard de Stave donated property to the abbey of Brogne[8]. Flodoard's Annals record that "Berengarius" captured "Giselbertum" (referring to the duke of Lotharingia) and only freed him after receiving "filiis Ragenarii fratris ipsius Gisleberti" as hostages, after which Giselbert ravaged the lands of "Berengarii, Ragenariique fratris sui et Isaac comitis"[9]. Count of the castle of Namur. The Vita Gerardi Abbatis Broniense records that "comes Berengarius Nammucensi castro præsidebat" and that he took Gerard under his protection[10]. m --- [von Maasgau], daughter of REGINAR [I] "Langhals" Graf `von Maasgau [Comte de Hainaut] & his wife Alberada ---. Flodoard's Annals refer to the wife of "Berengarius" as "sororem [Gislebertum]" but do not name her[11]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[12], she was heiress of "comitatus Lomacensis". Presumably this is suggested because both her father and her husband are recorded as counts "in pago Lominse", and on the assumption that her husband succeeded her father. However, this assumes that the "pagus" is identical with the county, and that each pagus was ruled by only one count at any one time. It is, however, clear from the development of the county structure in Germany that the counties were not geographically coincident with the pagi. References to two or three different comitati within one pagus are frequent in imperial diplomas, as are references to the comitatus of a single comes spreading into more than one pagus. It therefore appears not to be a safe assumption, in the absence of further documentary proof, that Berengar owed his position in "comitatus Lomacensis" to his wife.
1. ROBERT [I] ([920/25]-before 981). Robert succeeded as Comte de Namur, maybe as direct successor to Berengar as no documentary record has been found of another intervening count in the area, although this is not certain. The earliest reference to Robert is the charter dated 2 Jun 946 under which "Rotbertus comes" donated the villa of Melin "in comitatu meo" to the abbey of Waulsort[13]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[14], Robert was the son of Berengar. However, the only evidence so far identified that Robert may have been a descendant of Berengar is provided by the Vita Gerardi Abbatis Broniense which records that "comes Berengarius Nammucensi castro præsidebat" commenting that "cuius stirpis posteritas ibidem hactenus perstat"[15]. This convoluted reference suggests that the relationship may have been less direct than father/son: maybe Robert was Berengar's grandson, the son of Berengar's daughter. This appears to be corroborated by the chronology of the births in the family. If Giselbert, son of Robert [I], was born in [955/60], it is unlikely that his father was born before [920/25] at the earliest, bearing in mind that he was presumably an adult at the time of the 946 charter. Assuming that the birth date range of Berengar is correct as shown above, Robert would most likely have been born earlier than this if he had been Berengar's son. The fact that Robert named his second son Giselbert also suggests a family connection with Berengar, whose wife was the sister of Giselbert Duke of Lotharingia, although it is somewhat surprising that the name Berengar itself is not repeated among Robert's descendants. Another indication of Robert's family background is provided by the Gesta Abbatum Gemblacensium which names "Rotbertus…comes Namucensis" as the most powerful of the "cæteri fratres et nepotes pii patris nostri [Wicperti]", while recording that he oppressed the abbey of Gembloux[16]. If this is correct, Robert's maternal grandmother was Osburga, whose first husband was St Wicbert's father (see Chapter 5.A). "Otto…rex" granted property "quod Ymmo in villa Castra et in pago Darnegouue ac in comitatu Rotberti comitis" to "fideli nostro Tietboldo" by charter dated 11 Jun 958[17]. Flodoard's Annals record that in 960 "Rotbertus", enemy of Bruno Archbishop of Köln (son of Henrich I King of Germany), fortified "Namuurum castrum" against the archbishop[18]. "Rotbertus comes" subscribed a charter dated 961 under which Erluin abbé of Gembloux exchanged property[19]. The Gesta Abbatum Lobiensium names "comite Roberto" and records that "Ratherius" died "apud Namurcum"[20], an event dated elsewhere to 974. m ---. Thierry Stasser suggests that the wife of Robert [I] Comte de Namur may have been [Liutgarde], daughter of Adalbert Graf [von Metz], emphasising that this is purely speculative based only on onomastics[21]. Comte Robert [I] & his wife had [five] children:
a) ALBERT (-shortly before 1011). Albert, Gislebert and Ratbod are named as sons of Comte Robert in a charter dated 981[22]. He succeeded as ALBERT I Comte de Namur. (below)
b) GISELBERT ([955/60]-). The Gesta Abbatum Lobiensium records that "Gislabertus, ex quatuor comitis Roberti filiis unus" accompanied "Mathildem comitissam" to the abbey of Lobbes[23]. This event is not dated but is recorded in the Gesta several paragraphs after an event dated to 974. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that Giselbert was a young adult when he visited Lobbes, dated some time between 975 and 980. Albert, Gislebert and Ratbod are named as sons of Comte Robert in a charter dated 981[24].
c) RATBOD [Robert] . Albert, Gislebert and Ratbod are named as sons of Comte Robert in a charter dated 981[25].
d) son (-[before 981]). As the Gesta Abbatum Lobiensium records "Gislabertus, ex quatuor comitis Roberti filiis unus"[26], it is known that Comte Robert had a fourth son but no further information relating to him has been found. He presumably died before 981 as he is not named with his brothers in the charter of that date.
e) [LIUTGARDE . Vanderkindere suggests that the wife of Arnoul [II] Comte de Cambrai may have been the daughter of Robert [I] Comte de Namur, both because the couple's son was named Albert and also because Liutgarde held property at Hanret in Darnau pagus which was divided between Namur and Brabant[27]. No other information has been identified from which any alternative ancestry can be deduced for Liutgarde. Liutgarde possessed the alleu de Hanret, Hesbaye[28]. "Arnulfus comes Valencencianensis et uxor eius Liutgardis cum filio suo Adalberto" donated property to Saint-Pierre-au-Mont-Blandin at Gent by charter dated 994[29]. m ARNOUL [II] Comte de Cambrai, son of ARNOUL [I] Comte de Cambrai & his wife Berta --- (-23 Oct 1012).]
ALBERT, son of ROBERT [I] Comte de Namur & his wife --- (-shortly before 1011). Albert, Gislebert and Ratbod are named as sons of Comte Robert in a charter dated 981[30]. He succeeded as ALBERT I Comte de Namur. "Otto…rex" confirmed the privileges of Brogne abbey "in pago Lomacensis situm" by charter dated 992 which names "comiti…Namuci Adelberto"[31]. His date of death is suggested by a record, dated to 1011, of a monk from St Vaast d'Arras dreaming of hell where he recognised "Albertum Namucensium comitatui" being tortured, the episode being incorporated into a circular letter from Richard Bishop of Verdun to all abbeys[32].
m (990) ERMENGARDE, daughter of CHARLES Duke of Lower Lotharingia [Carolingian] & wife Adelais de Troyes ([970/75]-after 1013). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Karolus dux" was father of "Ermengardem et Gerbergam"[33]. The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium, on the other hand, names "Hermegardam Namursi cometissam" as only daughter of "Ottoni duci Lotharingiæ", son of Duke Charles[34]. This appears chronologically difficult to sustain, assuming that Ermengarde was the mother of Albert's children as shown below. It would also mean that her daughter Liutgarde could not have been the mother of Baldric [II] Bishop of Liège (see below), already tight chronologically if Ermengarde married in 990. The Fundatio Ecclesiæ S Albani Namucensis is less specific on Ermengarde's origin when it names her son "comes Albertus secundus, ortus ex patre Lothariensi" and refers to his mother as "matre vero Francigena Ermengarde, nobilissimam Francorum regum prosapiam trahente"[35]. The date of her marriage is suggested by the fact that Richer does not name her among the children who were imprisoned with her father in 991: "Karolum…cum uxore Adelaide et filio Ludovico, et filiabus duabus, quarum altera Gerberga, altera Adelaidis dicebatur, necnon et Arnulfo nepote"[36]. This presumably indicates that her marriage predated this imprisonment. It has been suggested that Ermengarde was Albert [I]'s second wife, considering the likely difference in their ages[37]. If this is correct, it is unlikely that there were any surviving children from his earlier marriage as Albert's successor (presumably his eldest surviving son) was the son of his surviving wife, presumably Ermengarde, as shown by the Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium which records that "Rotberdo Namurcensi comite" betrayed Lambert Comte de Louvain after the battle of Hougaerde (dated to 1013) and that Lambert, captured by "Herimannum…comitem", was released after the intervention of "Rotbodi…comitis mater"[38].
Comte Robert I & his wife had [six] children:
1. ROBERT de Namur (-before 1031). The Fundatio Ecclesiæ S Albani Namucensis names "comes Albertus secundus, ortus ex patre Lothariensi, matre vero Francigena Ermengarde, nobilissimam Francorum regum prosapiam trahente"[39], which is assumed to indicate that Comte Albert and Ermengardis were the parents of Robert. He succeeded as ROBERT II Comte de Namur. The Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium records that "Rotberdo Namurcensi comite" betrayed Lambert Comte de Louvain after the battle of Hougaerde (dated to 1013), that Lambert was captured by "Herimannum…comitem" but released after the intervention of "Rotbodi…comitis mater"[40]. The Miracula Sancti Veroni names "comitem Ratbodum" when recording that he recovered from fever after being taken to the relics of St Veronus[41]. "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" brought under his protection the abbey of Saint-Jean de Florennes "in pago et in comitatu Lommensi sitam, cuius nunc comes adest Ratbodus", founded by Gerard Bishop of Cambrai, by charter dated 1018[42]. m ---. No reference has been found to the wife of Comte Robert II. Comte Robert II & his wife had one child:
a) son . The Miracula Sancti Gengulfi name "Radbodus Namurcensium comes" and record that "filio suo morte gravatu" was cured by St Gengulf[43]. No other reference has been found to this child, who presumably died young.
2. ALBERT de Namur (-[1063/64]). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Ermengardis" was mother of "Albertum comitem de Namuco"[44]. He succeeded his brother as ALBERT II Comte de Namur. He founded Saint-Aubain at Namur, as shown by the Fundatio Ecclesiæ S Albani Namucensis which records "comes Albertus secundus, ortus ex patre Lothariensi, matre vero Francigena Ermengarde, nobilissimam Francorum regum prosapiam trahente" as founder of the church[45]. m REGELINDIS of Lower Lotharingia, daughter of GOZELON I Duke of Lower Lotharingia & his wife ---. The Fundatio ecclesiæ Sancti Albani Namurcensis refers to the wife of "comes Albertus secundus" as "Gothelonis ducis filia" but does not name her[46]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Gosseclone ducis Lotharingie…[filia] Raelendem" as wife of "Alberto comiti"[47]. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Godefridum ducem, Odam et Regelindam" as children of "Gozelo, frater Arnulphi et Godefridi"[48]. Her birth date range is estimated from her eldest son being born before 1035. She was given Durbuy as her dowry by her father. Comte Albert II & his wife had two children:
a) ALBERT de Namur (before 10 Aug 1035-22 Jun 1102). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Albertum comitem de Namuco" was father of "Albertum et fratrem eius Heinricum comitem de Durboio"[49]. He succeeded his father as ALBERT III Comte de Namur. (below)
b) HENRI [I] de Namur (-after 23 Apr 1088). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Albertum comitem de Namuco" was father of "Albertum et fratrem eius Heinricum comitem de Durboio"[50]. The Chronicon Huberti names "Albertus comes Namucensis et Henricus Durboiensis", but does not specify the relationship between them[51]. Comte de Durbuy. "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed donations to St Jakob, Liège by charter dated 23 Apr 1088, at the request of "Heinrico comite de Durbui"[52].
- COMTES de DURBUY.
3. HEDWIG [Hadewide] de Namur ([1005/10]-28 Jan [1080]). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Hadewidem et Emmam de Los" as the two daughters of "Ermengardis [filiæ Karoli ducis]" and as mother of "Theodericum ducem et Gerardum comitem fratres"[53]. It is likely that Hedwig was born during that latter part of the married life of her parents, given her own death in [1080] and her father's death before 1010. The Liber Memoriales of Remiremont records the donation of "Haduydis ducissa…consentientibus filiis suis duce Teoderico atque comite Girardo"[54]. "Hadewidis ductrix" founded the abbey of Châtenois by charter dated to after 1075, confirmed "post obitum ductricis Hadewidis" by "dux Theodericus filius eius"[55]. m GERARD Duke of Upper Lotharingia, son of GERHARD Graf & his wife Gisela --- (-Remiremont [14 Apr 1070]).
4. [LIUTGARDE [Emma] de Namur . The Vita Arnulfi names "Lugerdam, Godam, Ermengardam" as the three sisters of "Albertus comes Namurcensis"[56]. The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium names "Lutgarde filia Hermegardis Namurcensis comitissæ, Ottonis prefati ducis filie" as wife of "Ottonis comitis de Los", parents of Baldric [II] Bishop of Liège[57]. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Hadewidem et Emmam de Los" as the two daughters of "Ermengardis [filiæ Karoli ducis]"[58]. From a chronological point of view, an additional generation in the family of the Comtes de Looz, between Rudolf (967) and Gislebert ([1044/46]), would not be surprising. Nevertheless the chronology is tight for a daughter of Albert I Comte de Namur and his wife Ermengardis (married in 990) to have been the mother of Baldric Bishop of Liège (installed as bishop in 1008), unless the latter's installation was in his adolescence (not impossible but requiring Papal dispensation, of which no record has been found). m OTTO Comte de Looz, son of [RUDOLF & his wife ---.]
5. GODA de Namur . The Vita Arnulfi names "Lugerdam, Godam, Ermengardam" as the three sisters of "Albertus comes Namurcensis", specifying that Goda was mother of "Meinsindam matrem sancti Arnulfi episcopi Suessioniæ"[59], although this may not be a reliable source as it is inaccurate in recording the descendants of Goda's supposed sister Liutgarde. [m ---. No indication has been found about the identity of Goda´s husband.] Goda & her husband had one child:
a) [MEINSINDA . The Vita Arnulfi names "Lugerdam, Godam, Ermengardam" as the three sisters of "Albertus comes Namurcensis", specifying that Goda was mother of "Meinsindam matrem sancti Arnulfi episcopi Suessioniæ"[60], although this may not be a reliable source as it is inaccurate in recording the descendants of Goda's supposed sister Liutgarde. m ---. No indication has been found about the identity of Meinsinda´s husband.] Meinsinda & her husband had [one child]:
i) [ARNOUL (-Oudenbourg, Bruges 1087). The Vita Arnulfi names "Lugerdam, Godam, Ermengardam" as the three sisters of "Albertus comes Namurcensis", specifying that Goda was mother of "Meinsindam matrem sancti Arnulfi episcopi Suessioniæ"[61], although this may not be a reliable source as it is inaccurate in recording the descendants of Goda's supposed sister Liutgarde. He entered the Benedictine monastery of Saint Médard at Soisson in 1060. Bishop of Soissons 1081. He resigned from the see, and retired to the monastery of Oudenbourg which he had founded.]
6. ERMENGARDE de Namur . The Vita Arnulfi names "Lugerdam, Godam, Ermengardam" as the three sisters of "Albertus comes Namurcensis"[62].
ALBERT de Namur, son of ALBERT II Comte de Namur & his wife Regilindis of Lower Lotharingia (before 10 Aug 1035-22 Jun 1102). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Albertum comitem de Namuco" was father of "Albertum et fratrem eius Heinricum comitem de Durboio"[63]. He succeeded his father in [1063/64] as ALBERT III Comte de Namur. He claimed to succeed to the inheritance of his first cousin Godefroi III "Le Bossu" Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1076, challenging the succession of Godefroi de Bouillon [Boulogne] and at one point unsuccessfully besieging the castle of Bouillon. As guardian of her interests in Lotharingia, Matilda of Tuscany granted Albert the county of Verdun which Theoderic Bishop of Verdun had bestowed on her in 1076, in order to thwart Godefroi de Bouillon´s inheritance[64]. In addition, Emperor Heinrich IV appointed Albert as vice-duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1076 to rule for his infant son Konrad, whom he had installed as Duke of Lower Lotharingia[65]. "Heinricus…tertius Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed the foundation of St Jakob, Liège by "Albertus comes Nammucensium filiis [suis] Godefrido, Heinrico, Alberto" by charter dated 1 Jun 1101[66]. The Notæ Bronienses record the death in 1102 of "Albertus comes Namucensis"[67].
m ([1065/66]) as her second husband IDA of Saxony, widow of FREDERIC II Duke of Lower Lotharingia [Luxembourg], daughter of BERNHARD II Duke in Saxony [Billung] & his wife Eilika von Schweinfurt (-31 Jul 1102, bur Namur). "Ida" is named as wife of "Albertus comes Namucensis" in the Chronicon Sancti Huberti, which specifies that "prius fuerat uxor ducis Frederici", but her origin is not given[68]. The Genealogia ex stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Idam Namucensem…uxorem Angelberti marchionis et Gertrudem comitissam Flandrensem" as children of "Bernardum"[69]. On her marriage, she brought her husband extensive lands north-east of the castle of Bouillon which later formed the county of Laroche[70]. According to the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, her husband's claim to Bouillon was through the property brought by his wife[71].
Comte Albert III & his wife had five children:
1. GODEFROI de Namur (-19 Aug 1139). The Chronicon Huberti names "Godefrido filio Alberti comitis Namucensis"[72]. He succeeded his father in 1102 as GODEFROI Comte de Namur. (bleow)
2. HENRI de Namur (-before 1138). The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Godefridum et Henricum comitem de Rupe" as sons of "Albertus de Namurco"[73]. Comte de Laroche.
- COMTES de LAROCHE.
3. FREDERIC de Namur (-22 May 1121). The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium names "Frederici [episcopus]…frater eius Namucensis comes Godefridus"[74]. The Vita Friderici names "sancti Frederici episcopi" as son of "patre Alberto [Namucensis castelli comes], matre Ida", specifying that he was third son[75]. Orderic Vitalis records the installation of "Frederick brother of Herman count of Namur" as Bishop of Liège in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II and his death less than three years later, poisoned by his rivals[76]. Bishop of Liège 1119. The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium records the death "1121 VI Kal Iunii" of "episcopus Fredericus"[77].
4. ALBERT de Namur (-shortly before 1122). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names (in order) "Fridericum episcopum, Godefridum, Henricum et Albertum fratres" as sons of "Albertum comitem"[78]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Godefridum comitem de Namuco et comitem Albertum de Rupe et sorores eorum" as children of "Albertus comes senior Namucensis", although it appears probable that Alberic intended to refer to "Heinricum de Rupe" instead of "Albertum" given that on a subsequent page he lists the children of "Henricum" as children of "Albertum"[79]. William of Tyre records the marriage of "fratri comitis Namura" and his installation to succeed his wife's first husband as Lord of Jaffa[80]. m ([1118/19]) as her second husband, MABILE de Roucy, widow of HUGUES de Puiset Lord of Jaffa, daughter of EBLES de Ramerupt Comte de Roucy & his wife Sibylle de Apulia.
5. ALIX de Namur . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Alaide sorore comitis Godefridi Namucensis" as wife of "comes Otto de Cisneio"[81]. 1097/1124. m as his second wife, OTTO [II] Comte de Chiny, son of ARNOUL Comte de Chiny & his first wife Adela de Roucy (-1131 or after).
GODEFROI de Namur, son of ALBERT III Comte de Namur & his wife Ida von Sachsen (-19 Aug 1139). The Chronicon Huberti names "Godefrido filio Alberti comitis Namucensis"[82]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Godefridum et Henricum comitem de Rupe" sons of "Albertus de Namurco", specifying that Godefroi "caruit liberis"[83].

She succeeded in 1136 as Ctss de Luxembourg à Longwy. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "VIII Kal Jun" of "Ermensendis comitissa Namucensis qui cum viro suo…comite Alberto cellam Montis Sancti Martini…confirmavit"[90].
Comte Godefroi & his first wife had two children:
1. ELISABETH de Namur . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Elizabeth filiam comitis Godefridi Namucensis" as wife of "frater…Balduini de Burgo Gervasius", specifying that her mother was "Sibilla filia comitis Rogeri Porcensis", and recording her second marriage with "Clarembaldus de Roseto" and their children "Raynaldum…Rogerum..episcopus Laudunensis…et sorores eius…Aeliz de Cimeco, altera Alfelisia que ex nobili viro Philippo de Altaripa genuit Mathildem quam habuit Windus Doiscenus [Doische, Namur, Philippeville?] et de Erpens [Erpent, Namur?]"[91]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to the two sisters of "Alidem…Godefridi comitis Namurcensis et Ermesendis comitisse filiam" as "una [uxor] dominus de Roseto, alia [uxor] domino de Spinoit", in a later passage clarifying that the two sisters were daughters of "Henrici comitis" by his first wife[92]. 1141/44. m firstly GERVAIS Comte de Rethel, son of HUGUES Comte de Rethel & his wife Mélisende de Montlhéry (-1124). m secondly (before 1131) CLAREMBAUD de Rosoy, son of --- (-before 1158). 1141. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Raynaldum…[et] Rogerum Laundunensem episcopum et filias Alidem…Egidio de Cymaco maritatem et Annchelisam viro nobili in comitatu Namurcensi maritatam Philippo…de Altaripa" as children of "domino Rogero de Roseto" and his Namur wife, specifying that Roger married "Iuliana filia Nicholay de Ruminio" by whom he was father of "Rogerum"[93].
2. FLANDRINE de Namur . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ysabella et Flandrina" as the two daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his first wife, specifying that Flandrina's husband was "minus nobiliter…Hugo de Spineto" by whom she was mother of "Gerardus abbas de Claromaresco et fratres eorum et sorores"[94]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to the two sisters of "Alidem…Godefridi comitis Namurcensis et Ermesendis comitisse filiam" as "una [uxor] dominus de Roseto, alia [uxor] domino de Spinoit", in a later passage clarifying that the two sisters were daughters of "Henrici comitis" by his first wife[95]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[96], this daughter was named Cecile and her husband was Alard [II] Sire d'Epinoy et d'Antoing, Hugues being this couple's son, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "filios et filias quarum una habuit uxorem Theodericus de Anvennis" as children of "nobili apud Spinoit in Atrebathesio" & his Namur wife[97]. m HUGUES d'Epinoy d'Antoing, son of GUILLAUME Sire d'Epinoy & his wife ---.
Comte Godefroi & his second wife had five children:
3. ALBERT de Namur ([1109/10]-after 7 Jan 1125). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Henricum…et Albertum qui iuvenis decessit" as the two sons of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife[98]. "Godefridus comes Namucensis et Ermensindis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Floreffe with the consent of "filiis suis Alberto et Heinrico…" by charter dated 7 Jan 1125[99], this text suggesting that Albert was the older son.
4. HENRI de Namur (1111-14 Aug 1196, bur Abbaye de Floreffe). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Henricum…et Albertum qui iuvenis decessit" as the two sons of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife[100]. "Godefridus comes Namucensis et Ermensindis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Floreffe with the consent of "filiis suis Alberto et Heinrico…" by charter dated 7 Jan 1125[101]. "Godefridus comes Namucensis eiusque filius Henricus" witnessed the donation of land at Dudinsart to Gembloux Abbey by Godefroi V Duke of Lower Lotharingia, Comte de Louvain dated 1131[102]. He succeeded his first cousin (on his mother's side) in 1136 as HENRI Comte de Luxembourg. He succeeded his father in 1139 as HENRI I "l'Aveugle" Comte de Namur, de Laroche et de Durbuy. He marched against Adalberon Archbishop of Trier in 1141, was excommunicated and lost Luxembourg territory when the archbishop counter-attacked, although peace was finally signed in Speyer in 1146[103]. He also challenged the authority of the Bishop of Liège, attacking the château de Bouillon which the bishop claimed from the counts of Bar, but was defeated in 1151 at Andenne by the forces of Bishop Henri de Leyon[104]. He named his brother-in-law Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut as his heir in Namur and Luxembourg, the latter's son Baudouin V assuming the position of designated successor after his father's death[105]. Comte Henri lost his sight in 1182[106]. After the unexpected birth of his daughter in 1186, Comte Henri revoked his assurance to Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut concerning the succession and betrothed the infant to Henri II Comte de Champagne. In 1188, Comte Henri was obliged to reinstate Baudouin as his heir after a verdict in the latter's favour from Heinrich VI King of Germany. Comte Baudouin attacked Namur, captured Comte Henri and obtained a confirmation of his position from Emperor Friedrich I who also secretly created him Marquis de Namur. Under a compromise reached in 1190, Baudouin received Namur immediately, with the expectation of Laroche and Durbuy after the death of Henri who received the revenues of these two counties for life; the fate of Luxembourg was not mentioned. The creation of the Marquisate of Namur was announced at Worms in 1190, at which time Comte Henri retired to Luxembourg where he continued to rule as count[107]. He made a last attempt to recover Namur in 1194 but was defeated at Noville-sur-Mehaigne[108]. m firstly ([1152/59], divorced 1163) as her fourth husband, LAURETTA de Flandre, widow firstly of IWAN Graaf van Aalst, secondly of HENDRIK II Duke of Limburg, and thirdly of RAOUL [I] "le Vaillant" Comte de Vermandois, daughter of THIERRY Count of Flanders & his first wife Swanhilde --- ([1120]-Abbaye de Voorst, near Brussels 1170). The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records that Count Thierry "ex priori uxore unicam tantum filiam habuit quam Ivanus de Alosto postea sortitus est in conjugium" but does not give her name[109]. The Flandria Generosa names "Laurentiam" as the only daughter of "comitissa etiam Suanildis", specifying that her marriage with "dux de Lemburg" was terminated on grounds of consanguinity, that she subsequently married "Iwanus de Alst", and after the latter's death "Rodulfo comiti Peronensi" and "comiti de Namur", although this switches her first and second husbands[110]. She left her fourth husband before [1163] and refused to return to him despite being excommunicated by the bishop of Cambrai. She became a nun at Voorst. m secondly (1168) AGNES van Gelderland, daughter of HENDRIK Graaf van Gelderland & his wife Agnes von Arnstein. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 records the marriage of "Henrici comitis ceci" and "Agnate sorore comitis de Gelre"[111]. In a later passage, the same source names "Agneta…comitissa de Luscelenborch" as sister of "soror comitis de Gelderland", who was the mother of "domnus Engelbertus filius comitis Engelberti de Monte Veteri frater comitis Adolfi", specifying that she was mother of "Ermensindis relicta comitis Barri uxor Waleranni"[112]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Agnetam filiam Henrici…comitis de Ghelre" as wife of "Henricus comes Namurci et Luscelenborch"[113]. She left her husband, entered a convent and refused to return to him despite his appeal to Pope Alexander III[114]. A reconciliation was negotiated in 1185 by the Archbishop of Köln, Philippe Count of Flanders and Godefroi Duke of Brabant, anxious to ensure that Namur and Luxembourg was not inherited by Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut (the nominated successor of Comte Henri)[115]. Comte Henri & his second wife had one child:
a) ERMENSENDE de Namur (Jul 1186-12 Feb 1247, bur Clairefontaine, near Arlon[116]). The Chronicon Hanoniense records the birth in Jul 1186 of "Ermensendem" daughter of "comes Namurcensis Henricus" and his wife Agnes[117]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the betrothal in 1187 of "Ermensendis" and "comiti Campanensi Henrico"[118]. 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[119]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 records the marriage of "Theobaldus comes Barrensis" and "filiam Henrici comitis ceci…Ermensendem"[120]. She succeeded her father in 1196 as ERMENSENDE Ctss de Luxembourg. Her first 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[121]. Under the treaty, signed 26 Jul 1199, Baudouin IX Count of Flanders and Hainaut inherited Namur, while Ermesinde retained Luxembourg, Durbuy, Laroche and that part of Namur which lay on the right bank of the river Meuse[122]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "seniori Walerano filio Henrici" as second husband of "Ermensende filia Henrici ceci comitis Namucensis"[123]. She received Arlon as her jointure on her second marriage[124]. Betrothed (1187) to HENRI II Comte de Champagne, son of HENRI I "le Libéral" Comte de Champagne & his wife Marie de France (29 Jul 1166-Acre 10 Sep 1197). m firstly (1197) as his third wife, THIBAUT I Comte de Bar, son of RENAUD II Comte de Bar & his wife Agnes de Blois ([1160]-12/13 Feb 1214, bur Saint-Mihiel). m secondly ([Feb/May] 1214) as his second wife, WALERAN de Limbourg Seigneur de Montjoie, son of HENDRIK III Duke of Limburg & his wife Sophie von Saarbrücken (-Cremona 2 Jul 1226, bur Rode Abbey). He succeeded in 1221 as WALERAN IV Duke of Limburg.
5. ALIX de Namur ([1112/14]-end Jul 1169). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "ducissa Cyringie…Beatrix…Alidis…" as the three daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his second wife[125]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Alidem…Godefridi comitis Namurcensis et Ermesendis comitisse filiam" as wife of "Balduinus comes Hanoniensis, Balduini comitis et Yolendis comitisse filiuis", in a later passage specifying that she was one of the daughters of her father's second marriage[126]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Alithiam" sister of "Godefridus frater Henricum", specifying that she married "Hainoensi comiti Balduino"[127], although it is chronologically impossible for Alice to have been the sister of Godefroi. The Liber de Restauratione Sancti Martini Tornacensis refers to the wife of Count Baudouin as "comitis Namucensis germanam"[128]. m ([1130]) BAUDOUIN IV Comte de Hainaut, son of BAUDOUIN III Comte de Hainaut & his wife Yolande van Gelderland ([1110]-6/8 Nov 1171). His brother-in-law Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg named Comte Baudouin as his heir, the right to this prospective inheritance passing to his son Comte Baudouin V after he died in 1171[129].
6. CLEMENCE de Namur ([1114/15]-28 Dec 1158). The Genealogia Zaringorum names "Clementia de nobilissuma progenie Francorum de castro…Nammecensi" as wife of "Conradus", specifying that she was buried in the same tomb as her husband[130]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "ducissa Cyringie…Beatrix…Alidis…" as the three daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his second wife[131]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to the three daughters of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife as "ducissam…Ciringiorum et comitissam de Retest et…Alidem comitissam Hanoniensem"[132]. All three sources imply that Clémence was the oldest of the three sisters. However, the fact that their brother Henri named the husband of his sister Alix as his heir suggests that she must have been the oldest sister, as no record has yet been identified of the dukes of Zähringen challenging this succession arrangement on the grounds of seniority. It is possible that the three primary sources accord the first position to Clémence because she was the only sister whose husband held a ducal title. The necrology of St Peter im Schwarzwald records the death "V Kal Jan" of "Clementia ductrix"[133]. m ([1130]) KONRAD Herzog von Zähringen, son of BERTHOLD II Herzog von Zähringen [formerly Duke of Swabia] & his wife Agnes von Rheinfelden ([1095]-8 Jan 1152, bur St Peter im Schwarzwald).
7. BEATRIX de Namur ([1115/16]-1160). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "unam filiarum supradicti comitis Namurensis [=comitis Godefridi] Beatricem" as wife of "castellanum Guitherum…Vitriaci", and in a later passage naming (in order) "ducissa Cyringie…Beatrix…Alidis…" as the three daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his second wife, clarifying that Beatrix married "comiti Guithero Reytestensi"[134]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to the three daughters of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife as "ducissam…Ciringiorum et comitissam de Retest et…Alidem comitissam Hanoniensem"[135]. m ITHIER Comte de Rethel, son of EUDES de Vitry Châtelain de Vitry, Comte de Rethel & his wife Mathilde Ctss de Rethel (-1170).
BAUDOUIN de Hainaut, son of BAUDOUIN IV “le Bâtisseur” Comte de Hainaut & his wife Alice de Namur (1150-Mons 17 Dec 1195). He succeeded his father in 1171 as BAUDOUIN V Comte de Hainaut, and as heir to Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg (see above). After the unexpected birth in 1186 of Ermensende, daughter of Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg, the latter revoked his assurance concerning Baudouin's succession in these two counties. In 1188, Comte Henri was obliged to reinstate Baudouin as his heir after a verdict in the latter's favour from Heinrich VI King of Germany. Comte Baudouin attacked Namur, captured Comte Henri and obtained a confirmation of his position from Emperor Friedrich I who also secretly created him Marquis de Namur. Under a compromise reached in 1190, Baudouin received Namur immediately, and the expectation of Laroche and Durbuy after the death of Henri; the fate of Luxembourg was not mentioned. The creation of the Marquisate of Namur, and the elevation of Baudouin as Marquis de Namur, was announced at Worms in 1190[136]. He succeeded as BAUDOUIN VIII Count of Flanders 1 Mar 1192, by right of his wife.

3. YOLANDE de Flandre ([1175]-Constantinople 24 or 26 Aug 1219).

She took possession of Namur as MARGUERITE Marquise de Namur in 1229 on the death of her brother Henri, but was obliged to transfer it to her brother Baudouin in 1237.

The Historia Walciodorensis monasterii names "Berta filiam Wederici comitis et Eva" as wife of "comes Ebroinus", specifying that her dowry was "Florinas"[186].

The reference to Heribert must indicate Héribert [II] Comte de Vermandois (see NORTHERN FRANCE), whose origin is recorded completely differently in other primary sources.
