Gothelo I, Duke Of Lorraine
Gothelo (or Gozelo) ( 967 – 19 April 1044), called the Great, was the duke of Lower Lorraine from 1023 and of Upper Lorraine from 1033. He was also the margrave of Antwerp from 1005 (or 1008) and count of Verdun. Gothelo was the youngest son of Godfrey I, Count of Verdun, and Matilda, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony. On his father's death, he received the march of Antwerp and became a vassal of his brother, Godfrey II, who became duke of Lower Lorraine in 1012. He succeeded his brother in 1023 with the support of the Emperor Henry II, but was opposed until Conrad II forced the rebels to submit in 1025. When the House of Bar, which ruled in Upper Lorraine, became extinct in 1033, with the death of his cousin Frederick III, Conrad made him duke of both duchies, so that he could assist in the defence of the territory against Odo II, count of Blois, Meaux, Chartres and Troyes (the later Champagne). In the Battle of Bar on 15 November 1037, Gothelo dealt a decisive blow to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor
Henry IV (german: Heinrich IV; 11 November 1050 – 7 August 1106) was Holy Roman Emperor from 1084 to 1105, King of Germany from 1054 to 1105, King of Italy and Burgundy from 1056 to 1105, and Duke of Bavaria from 1052 to 1054. He was the son of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor—the second monarch of the Salian dynasty—and Agnes of Poitou. After his father's death on 5 October 1056, Henry was placed under his mother's guardianship. She made grants to German aristocrats to secure their support. Unlike her late husband, she could not control the election of the popes, thus the idea of the "liberty of the Church" strengthened during her rule. Taking advantage of her weakness, Archbishop Anno II of Cologne kidnapped Henry in April 1062. He administered Germany until Henry came of age in 1065. Henry endeavoured to recover the royal estates that had been lost during his minority. He employed low-ranking officials to carry out his new policies, causing discontent in Saxony and ...

Giselbert II, Count Of Duras
Count Giselbert (or Gilbert) (d. before 1138), was the deputy advocate (''subadvocatus'') of Saint Trudo’s Abbey. At least by 1111 he began to be referred to as not just a count, but specifically the Count of Duras, and he may have been the first to be known under that title. He was son of Otto I, Count of Duras, and his wife Oda. Giselbert was involved in several conflicts which involved the abbey, as mentioned in several parts in the Abbey's ''Gesta'' or chronicle. Apart from the ''Gesta'', much of what we know about Giselbert is from the charters that he witnessed, which also gives insight as to his relationship with the Counts of Namur, a family into which he eventually married. Emperor Henry IV confirmed donations made by Henry I, Count of Durbuy, son of Albert II, Count of Namur, to the Church of Saint James in Liège, as witnessed by Giselbert. The emperor also confirmed the claim of Albert’s family to Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne. Giselbert married tw ...

First Crusade
The First Crusade (1096–1099) was the first of a series of religious wars, or Crusades, initiated, supported and at times directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The objective was the recovery of the Holy Land from Islamic rule. While Jerusalem had been under Muslim rule for hundreds of years, by the 11th century the Seljuk takeover of the region threatened local Christian populations, pilgrimages from the West, and the Byzantine Empire itself. The earliest initiative for the First Crusade began in 1095 when Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos requested military support from the Council of Piacenza in the empire's conflict with the Seljuk-led Turks. This was followed later in the year by the Council of Clermont, during which Pope Urban II supported the Byzantine request for military assistance and also urged faithful Christians to undertake an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This call was met with an enthusiastic popular response across all social classes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Godefroi, Count Of Durbuy
Godefroi (d. before 1124), Count of Durbuy, son of Henry I, Count of Durbuy. Godefroi captured Otbert, Bishop of Liège, and imprisoned him in Durbuy. This presumably was related to the conflict between Otbert and Godfrey I the Bearded, Count of Louvain over the County of Brunengeruz, who Emperor Henry IV eventually entrusted to Albert III, Count of Namur. This is related to the dispute between Henry III of Luxembourg and Arnold I, Count of Looz, over the Abbey of Sint-Triuden. Godefroi married Alix de Grandpré, daughter of Henri, Count of Grandpré and Porcien, and his wife Ermentrude de Joux, daughter of Conon "Falcon" Grandson. Ermentrude was the sister of Barthélemy de Jur, Bishop of Laon. Godefroi and Alix had three children: * Richard I, Bishop of Verdun * Henry II, Count of Durbuy * Alix de Durbuy. Upon his death, Godefroi was succeeded as Count of Durbuy by his son Henry. When Henry died, the countship of Durbuy transferred to his cousin, Henry the Blind Hen ...
