Gothelo (or Gozelo) (c. 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 Billung, 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. He 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 III, Conrad made him 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). In the battle at Bar on 15 November 1037, Gothelo dealt a decisive blow to Odo, who was trying to create an independent state between France and Germany. Odo died in the battle. Gothelo died on 19 April 1044 and was buried in the Abbey Church of Bilzen. His son Godfrey succeeded in Upper Lorraine, but the Emperor Henry III refused to give him the duchy of Lower Lorraine as well. When Godfrey showed disagreement with the imperial decision, Henry III threatened to pass the duchy to Godfrey's incompetent brother Gothelo. This caused a long rebellion in Lotharingia between the allies of Godfrey (the counts of Flanders and Leuven) and imperial forces (1044-1056). Family The name of Gothelo's wife is not known, the name Barbe de Lebarten (and in fact her entire ancestry), being a spurious concoction of later genealogists.[1][2] He had the following children: Godfrey the Bearded, duke of Upper Lorraine Gothelo, duke of Lower Lorraine Frederick, later Pope Stephen IX Regilinda, married Albert II, Count of Namur Oda, married Lambert II, Count of Leuven Matilda, married Henry I, Count Palatine of Lotharingia References Jump up ^ Ludwig Conrady in 'Die Geschichte des Hauses Nassau: Von den ältesten Zeiten bis zu den ersten Trägern des Namens Nassau', _Annalen des Vereins für nassauische Altertumskunde und Geschichtsforschung_ 26 (1894) 1-130 & table 132-133.

Gozelo I, Herzog von Nieder- und Ober-Lothringen was the younger son of Graf Gottfried der Gefangene von Verdun and Mathilde Billung von Sachsen, daughter of Herzog Hermann. Also called Duke of Lothier Gothelon "le Grand" de Verdun. Also called Gonzelon. He was born circa 970. He was the son of Gottfried I "der Gefangene", Graf von Verdun and Mechtild Billung.

Count of Verdun in Upper Lorraine, Holy Roman Empire, between 1005 and 1044. All of Gozelo’s children derived their names from the paternal ancestry, with the exception of the daughter named Reginlint, a name likely to trace to the tenth-century Swabian duchess Reginlint, particularly in view of its rarity. 4th Duke of Lothier in Lower Lorraine, Holy Roman Empire, between 11 August 1023 and 1044. He was must have augmented his claim to Upper Lorraine through the right of his wife, whose name and affiliation are undocumented, as military politics hardly suffice to explain Gozelo’s installment as duke of Upper Lorraine in 1033. Could succeed to Upper Lorraine primarily through the inherited right of his ‘former’ wife, despite their marriage being annulled, for as long as there were children, he could represent their rights, while assuming the office himself on the strength of his own more distant relationship with the house of Bar. He was given the Duchy of Upper Lorraine as it is customarily assumed that Gozelo’s military abilities were badly required by Emperor Conrad II in order to fend off Count Odo of Champagne, a French pretender to the recently vacated Burgundian throne, in 1033. Duke of Upper Lorraine in Holy Roman Empire, between 1033 and 1044. He associated his son Godfrey the Bearded in the ducal government some years before his death. He died on 19 April 1044.
