Lambert I (Lions)
Lambert I with the beard / the bearded man († September 12, 1015 in Florennes ) from the house of the Reginare was Count von Löwen since 994 . He was a younger son of Count Reginar III. of Hainaut .
Life
Lambert married the Carolingian Gerberga (* probably 975; † January 27 after 1018) around 985-990 , the eldest daughter of Duke Karl of Lower Lorraine , who had been pretender to the West Franconian throne since 987 and was imprisoned by Hugo Capet in 991 and was in Orléans until his death was incarcerated. Lambert and Gerberga are buried in the monastery of St. Gertrud zu Nevilles.
From this marriage, the Counts of Löwen derived their claim to the Duchy of Lower Lorraine, which Lambert's descendants were also able to realize from 1106 with Gottfried I von Löwen .
progeny
Lambert and Gerberga had at least four children:
- Henry I the Old († 1038 after August 5), Count of Leuven and Brussels from 1015 to before 1038; ∞ Marriage to a daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Flanders is sometimes accepted.
