Gottschalk from Zutphen
Gottschalk von Zutphen , also Gottschalk von Twente († around 1063) was Count in Agradingau , Emsgau , Hettergau , Twente and Westphalia , and from 1046 Count in northern Hamaland with the capital Zutphen , after which the area was then called County Zutphen . He is a son of Hermann von Nifterlake.
From 1026 he appeared as Count of Twente within the Duchy of Lower Lorraine and before 1046 married Adelheid, daughter of Ludolf von Brauweiler from the Ezzonen family and Mathilde von Hammerstein, who brought Zutphen and parts of the maternal inheritance into the marriage. Through the marriage, Gottschalk also became Vogt of the Münster , Borghorst and Brauweiler monasteries .
1046, after the suppression of the rebellion of the Lower Lorraine Duke Gottfried III. and its deposition, gave Emperor Heinrich III. Northern Hamaland to the Bishop of Utrecht . Gottschalk was or remained (since he did not take part in Gottfried's uprising) Count of Zutphen, but no longer as liege count of the duke, but as liege count of the bishop.
The Lords of Zutphen and the Bishops of Utrecht had an old dispute over the tithe of some cities, which was settled in 1059. In a forged document from the same year he was named domini Sutphaniensis opiddi , lord of the city of Zutphen. In 1063 he helped Adalbert von Bremen , Archbishop of Hamburg and Bremen, to subdue some vassals and Christianize the Frisians . He died a short time later.
Gottschalk and Adelheid's children were:
- Gebhard, Count of Twente ( Gerhard I von Lohn )
- Otto the Rich , Count of Zutphen († 1113); ∞ Judith von Arnstein
- Gumbert (Humbert), spiritual, monk in Corvey and then in the Abdinghof monastery in Paderborn .
According to Donald C. Jackman's research , his children also included:
- Gottschalk II, Lord of Gennep
- Herbert, Herr von Millen , the father of Norbert von Xanten , the founder of the Premonstratensian Order
