GOZELON, son of --- (-1064, bur Saint Hubert). The name Gozelon, as well as the geographical proximity, suggests a family connection with Gozelon Comte de Bastogne (see above), although Gozelon de Montaigu could not have been the son of Gozelon de Bastogne as the latter is recorded with one daughter as his heiress. Archbishop Poppo restored the monastery of St Matheus to Trier by charter dated 2 Sep 1038, witnessed by "Dux Gozelo et comesGozelo, comes Arnulfus, comes Sigebodo…"[169]. Avoué de Saint-Barthélémy, Liège 1043. Comte de Montaigu 1050. "Gosilonis comitis, Chimonis [Cunonis] et Rodulphi filiorum eius" witnessed an undated charter which records a donation to Brogne by "Heluidis"[170]. The Chronicle of Saint-Hubert records the death of "Gozilo comes Bohaniæ" after violently destroying the church at Marly and his burial at Saint-Hubert[171]. It is not certain what "Bohaniæ" refers to, but this entry clearly indicates Gozelo Comte de Montaigu as the same source names his wife and children. m (before [1040/44]) as her first husband, ERMENGARDE [Ermentrude], daughter of [WIDRICH [I] [Comte de Clermont] & his wife [Hersende ---] ([1025/35]-after 1091). "Gislebertus comes Clarimontis" names "amite mee Ermingardi comitisse et filiis eius" in the charter dated 1091 under which he donated the church of Saint-Symphorien to Cluny[172]. Assuming that "amite" in this document is interpreted strictly, Ermengarde was the donor´s paternal aunt, although this is not beyond all doubt because of the flexible interpretation of such terms indicating relationships in contemporary documentation. Her birth date range is estimated from her eldest son by her first marriage being born in the range [1040/50]. Archbishop Poppo of Trier confirmed the donation by "comitem Kadelonem et eius contectalem Irmingart" of hereditary property "de chorte Prümizvelt" by undated charter, dated to [1040/44], subscribed by "Duci Godefrido, Adalberto de Musel, comes Becelinus…"[173]. "Ermentrudis de Harenzey" donated "allodium…Sumey" to Ardenne Saint-Hubert on condition that she could be buried there with her husband, for the soul of "mariti mei Gozolonis", with the consent of "filiis meis…Cunone comite Rodulfo Guidone Joanne Henrico et fratribus meis Hezelino comite et Rainaldo et Balduino", by charter dated 1064[174], her brothers being identified as the sons of Hildrad [Hezelin] Comte [de Grandpré], which suggests the identity of Ermengarde's mother as Hildrad's wife (as discussed more fully above). Two charters indicate a close connection between Ermengarde and Bruno von Heimbach. Hildolf Archbishop of Köln donated property "ubi ipsa [Ermentrudis] hereditariam partem cum Brunone habuerat…Strala" (Stralen near Geldern) to the abbey of Siegburg by charter dated 1076[175]. ["Ermengardis comitissa…ab avis atque atavis nobilibus" donated property "apud Villas Worommes et Longum-Campum [Woromes, Longchamp] …allodium de Rumines [Rummen]…allodium de Curinges [Curenge]…allodium…apud Gelmines et Berlinges…allodium de Brede [Brée] cum ecclesia…quos dedit Gerardo comiti" to the church of Saint-Bartholomée de Liège by charter dated 1078, witnessed by "tunc advocatus…comes Henricus de Dolvin-Castello…comes Cono de Monte-Acuto, Reginardus de Roden, Witmannus de Molenarche…"[176]. The donor of this charter has not been identified with certainty. However, the presence of Conon Comte de Montaigu as first lay subscriber suggests that it may be his mother.] Siegwin Archbishop of Köln noted a donation of property at Stralen by "Irmengarda comitissa", by charter dated [1079/89], which states that her parents were buried at the abbey of Rees and that she had retained rights in Aspel[177]. Ermengarde maybe married secondly Fredelon [von Esch]. The fact of Ermengarde having married at least twice is confirmed by the charter dated 1091 under which the bishop of Cambrai confirmed the donation by "Ermengardis de Monte Acuto" to the abbey of Saint-André du Cateau for the souls of her spouses ("conjugum")[178]. The identity of her other husband is suggested by the charter dated 1138 under which "Reinardus comitis de Ascha Gisleberti filius" renewed the right of the monks of Flône to take wood from his part of the forests "Clerimontis", granted previously by "pater eius et comes Lambertus"[179]. "Comes Lambertus" in this document is identified as Lambert Comte de Montaigu, who was Ermengarde´s grandson by her marriage to Gozelo Comte de Montaigu. The father of "Reinardus comitis de Ascha Gisleberti filius" can be identified as "Gislebertus comes de Aska" who granted the right to take wood from his forests in "sus possessionis de Claromonte" to the monks of Flône, for the souls of "patris sui Fredelonis et matris suæ Ermengardis et uxoris sue Aelaidis et ipsius comitis Gisleberti", by charter dated 1131, after 18 Mar[180]. The fact that Lambert Comte de Montaigu and Giselbert Graf von Esch both shared rights in property in Clermont is best explained by the co-identity of the two persons named Ermengarde from whom they were both descended, and from whom they would have inherited these rights. If this is correct, Gozelon would have been Ermengarde´s first husband and Fredelo her second. Comte Gozelo & his wife had five children
