Rudolfe II, Count Of Ivois
Rudolfe II (Rudolf, Raoul) (died 963), Count of Ivois and Count of Verdun (as Raoul), was son of Rudolfe I, Count of Ivois, and Eva. Rudolfe succeeded his father as Count of Ivois and was installed as Count of Verdun after the death of Otto, Duke of Lorraine, in 944. After his death in 963, Godfrey the Prisoner was installed as count. An estimate that his rule as Count of Verdun ended in 960 is based on a reference to Godfrey as a count in 960. However, Godfrey was also count of Bidgau and Methingau from 959, so there is no reason to believe that Rudolfe was not count until his death in 963. Rudolfe was overthrown as Count of Ivois by Étienne Étienne, a French analog of Stephen or Steven, is a masculine given name. An archaic variant of the name, prevalent up to the mid-17th century, is Estienne.

Counts Of Chiny
The counts of Chiny were part of the nobility of Lotharingia that ruled from the 9th to the 14th century in what is now part of Belgium. It has been proposed that the County of Chiny was created in the early 10th century out of the ancient county of Ivois. The county now forms part of the province of Luxembourg in present-day Belgium. The county of Chiny included the present-day cantons of Virton, Etalle, Florenville, Neufchâteau, Montmédy and Carignan, as well as the castles of Warcq on the Meuse, which was built in 971 by Otto, ancestor of the later Counts of Chiny. It has also been proposed that there is a close relationship between the counts of Chiny and the early counts of Looz, the counts of Verdun and the bishops of Verdun.Jeantin, J. François Louis.

Étienne, Count Of Ivois
Étienne (Stephen) (d. after 956), Count of Ivois and Count of Porcien. The County of Porcien dates back to the eighth century and her rulers were loyal to the Carolingian dynasty. The Treaty of Verdun in 843 assigned Porcien to Charles the Bald and Étienne is the first recorded Count of Porcien. There is a possible connection between the Counts of Porcien and Counts of Laon based on onomastics related to Roger, Count of Laon. Étienne invaded the County of Ivois and displaced Rudolfe II, installing himself as count.
