Occupation Count of Louvain; Duke of Lower Lorraine; Margrave of Antwerp -------------------- Gottfried IV. (Niederlothringen) Gottfried IV., genannt der Bucklige (* um 1040; † 27. Februar 1076) war Herzog von Niederlothringen von 1069 bis 1076. Er war ein Sohn Herzog Gottfrieds III. von Niederlothringen und seiner Ehefrau Doda. Er wurde 1069 aus politischen Erwägungen mit Mathilde von Tuszien verheiratet, der Tochter des Markgrafen Bonifatius IV. von Tuszien und der Beatrix von Bar, die ihrerseits als Witwe Gottfrieds Vater geheiratet hatte. Gottfried IV. und Mathilde hatten nur ein Kind, Beatrix († 1071). Ab 1071 lebte das Paar getrennt, im Investiturstreit stand Mathilde auf der Seiten von Papst Gregor VII. (Guelfen), Gottfried hingegen auf der des Königs Heinrich IV. (Ghibellinen). Gottfried IV. kämpfte 1075 bei Homburg an der Unstrut im Sachsenkrieg für den König gegen den Herzog Magnus von Sachsen. Zusammen mit Wilhelm, Bischof von Utrecht, vertrieb er Graf Dietrich V. aus West-Friesland, dem späteren Holland. 1076 wurde er in Vlaardingen ermordet, im Auftrag von Dietrich V. und dessen Stiefvater Graf Robert I. von Flandern. Da er ohne Nachkommen war, hatte er gegen den Widerstand Mathildes, seinen Neffen Gottfried von Bouillon zum Nachfolger bestimmt. In der folgenden Erbauseinandersatzung bestimmte dann der Kaiser seinen jüngeren Sohn Konrad zum Herzog, Graf Albert III. von Namur wurde als vicedux (Vizeherzog) und Regent bestimmt. Gottfried von Bouillon konnte sein Erbe erst 1088 antreten.

Geboren 1105 – 13 juni 1142) was landgraaf van Brabant en (als Godfried VI) hertog van Neder-Lotharingen. Godfried was de oudste zoon van Godfried I van Leuven en Ida van Namen. Hij werd voor het eerst vermeld in 1131 toen hij een schenking deed aan de abdij van Gembloers. Vanaf 1136 nam hij bestuurstaken van zijn oude vader over. Zijn vader, Godfried I was landgraaf van Brabant en markgraaf van Antwerpen en noemde zich hertog, omdat hij een aantal jaren hertog van Neder-Lotharingen was geweest. Bij het overlijden van zijn vader in januari 1139 verwierf Godfried II Brabant, en verviel het markgraafschap Antwerpen aan de regerende hertog van Neder-Lotharingen, Walram II van Limburg. Maar Walram overleed kort daarop in juli 1139 en zowel Godfried als Hendrik II van Limburg, zoon van Walram, eisten nu de functie van hertog van Neder-Lotharingen op. Keizer Koenraad III van Hohenstaufen stelde een compromis voor waarbij het hertogdom in twee nieuwe hertogdommen zou worden gesplitst: Godfried zou dan het westelijke deel krijgen en Hendrik het oostelijke deel. De onderhandelingen mislukten en Godfried versloeg Hendrik in een korte veldtocht, en bezetteSint-Truiden en Aken. Zo verwierf Godfried zowel het hertogdom Neder-Lotharingen als het markgraafschap Antwerpen. Hendrik bleef zich echter ook hertog noemen. Hiermee waren de hertogdommen Brabant en Limburg ontstaan. Het geslacht Berthout weigerde in het roerige jaar 1139 om Godfried als hertog te erkennen. Hierdoor braken de Grimbergse Oorlogen uit. Godfried overleed aan een leverziekte en werd begraven in de Sint-Pieterskerk (Leuven). Godfried was gehuwd met Lutgardis van Sulzbach. Ze hadden een zoon: Godfried III van Leuven (Volgt 6).

Preceded by Waleran Duke of Lower Lorraine 1139 – 1142 Succeeded by Godfrey VIII Godfrey IV, Duke of Lower Lorraine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Godfrey IV (died 27 or 26 February 1076), known as the Hunchback, was a son of Godfrey the Bearded, whom he succeeded as duke of Lower Lorraine in 1069. His mother was Doda. In the year of his succession, he married Matilda la Gran Contessa, daughter of Boniface III of Tuscany, and Beatrice of Bar. By this marriage, he succeeded his father as margrave of Tuscany, for his father had been married to Beatrice of Bar, the mother of Matilda. From 1071, Godfrey lived separate from his wife. The two spouses were on opposite sides in the Investiture Controversy: Matilda was a partisan of Pope Gregory VII and Godfrey of the Emperor Henry IV. He warred on Henry's behalf against Magnus, Duke of Saxony, in 1075 and on that of the bishop of Utrecht in 1076 against Dirk V of Holland and Robert I of Flanders. He was assassinated on the Scheldt on the eve of battle. His only child was a daughter, Beatrice, by Matilda. He nominated his nephew Godfrey of Bouillon to succeed him, but the emperor appointed his own son, Conrad. Godfrey of Bouillon succeeded eventually in 1087 and gained fame on the First Crusade.
