GODEFROI de Louvain, son of HENRI [II] Comte de Louvain & his wife Adela [Adelheid] in der Betuwe (-25 Jan 1139, bur Afflighem Abbey). The Chronicon Affligemense names "Heinrico et Godefrido" as the two sons of "Adela comitissa Lovaniensis"[85]. He succeeded his brother in 1095 as GODEFROI Comte de Louvain. He was in conflict with Richer Bishop of Liège over the county of Brugeron in 1095/96[86]. Markgraaf van Antwerpen 1105. Heinrich V King of Germany invested him as GODEFROI V "le Barbu" Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1106. The Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis records that "Godefridus cum barba Dux Lotharingiæ, Comes Lovaniensis et Bruxellensis Marchio sacri Regni" founded Afflighem Abbey where he was buried[87]. Vogt of Afflighem 1107. The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium records the abdication in 1128 of "Godefridum Lovaniensem comitem de ducatu Lotharingie" and his substitution by "Waleramnum comitem Lemburgie"[88]. Vogt of Gembloux and Nivelles 1129. "Ducem Godefridum seniorem eiusque filium…Godefridum iuniorem" donated property "in parochia Braniensi…Dudinsart" to Gembloux by charter dated 1131, witnessed by "Godefridus comes Namucensis eiusque filius Henricus, Henricus minor filius ipsius ducis, Wilhelmus advocatus de Namuco eiusque frater Anselmus…"[89]. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1139 of "Godefridus maior dux Lotharingiæ"[90]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death of "Godefridus Barbatus Lovaniensis dux Lothariensis" and his burial at Afflighem[91]. The necrology of Brogne records the death "VIII Kal Feb" of "Godefridus dux Lovaniensis, frater nostre societatis"[92].
m firstly ([1105]) IDA de Chiny, daughter of OTTO [II] Comte de Chiny & his second wife Alix de Namur (-1117/25). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.
m secondly ([1125]) as her second husband, CLEMENCE de Bourgogne, widow of ROBERT II Count of Flanders, daughter of GUILLAUME I Comte de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- ([1078]-[1133]). "Clementie Flandrarum comitisse" is named as wife of "Robertus iunior" in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[93]. Orderic Vitalis names her as wife of Count Robert but does not give her origin[94]. Her origin is confirmed by the Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana which names "Clementiam filiam Willelmi comitis Burgundionum cognomento Testahardith" as wife of "Rodbertus Rodberti filius"[95]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. Clemence could not have been born much later than 1078, given the birth of her first child (by her first husband) in 1093. She was appointed regent in Flanders during the absence of her first husband on crusade[96]. She promoted the monastic movement and introduced Cluniac rule into several abbeys in Flanders[97]. She founded Bourbourg Abbey with her first husband in [1103]. "Balduinus Flandrensium comes et Clementia comitissa" confirmed the donation of the church of Saint-Bertin to Cluny made by "dominus meus Rotbertus comes", by charter 12 Apr 1112[98]. She opposed the succession in 1119 of Count Charles, supporting the candidature of Guillaume d'Ypres[99]. The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records the death in [1133] of "Clementia Roberti iunioris vidua" and specifies that "eatenus pene terciam partem Flandrie dotis loco tenuit"[100], although it is curious that this does not refer to her second husband who was still alive when she died.
Mistress (1): ---. The name of Duke Godefroi's mistress is not known.
