Giselbert (Luxembourg)
Count Giselbert (* 1007 ; † August 14, 1059 ) was the second son of Count Friedrich I. von Moselgau and Irmintrud von der Wetterau, daughter of Count Heribert. Giselbert succeeded his brother Heinrich II († 1047) as Count of Luxembourg and remained so until his death.
In the first documents reported by Giselbert he is also called "Giselbert von Longich" (probably Longwy ). The documents mainly deal with his raids against the Archbishopric Trier .
Count Giselbert extended his territory further north. In 1036 he is also called Count von Salm ("Comes de Salmo") in some sources, and in others also "Comes de Salinis". He could have acquired this title through marriage.
Around 1050 he was mentioned as bailiff of the imperial abbey of Echternach and in summer 1056 as the occupier of the bailiwick of the imperial abbey of Sankt Maximin .
The last mention of Giselbert can be found in a document in which the Emperor redefined the rights and duties of the bailiffs in 1056.
