Count Of Zutphen
The title of Count of Zutphen historically belonged to the ruler of the Dutch province of Gelderland (Zutphen being one of the major cities in the province during the medieval period). The lordship was a vassal title before it eventually became a county itself. The line of the Counts of Zutphen became extinct in the 12th century and the title passed again onto the rulers of Guelders, who eventually sold its titles to the duke of Burgundy. After the Guelders Wars, both Guelders and Zupthen ended as part of the Spanish Netherlands until Gelderland became one of the provinces to revolt and form the United Provinces. Lords of Zutphen The House of Zutphen comes into existence in 1018 when Otto of Hammerstein became the first Lord of Zutphen. In 1046 Emperor Henry III gave Zutphen to Bishop Bernold of Utrecht. The Lords of Zutphen did not recognize this gift, which lead to some confusion regarding who actually owned Zutphen. * 920 – 998/1001: Megingoz of Guelders († ap. 998/10 ...

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. Gothelo 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 II, Conrad made Gothelo 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). It was during this time 1033-1034, that Gothelo clashed with Bald ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
