Simon I (Lorraine)
Simon I (around 1076; † January 13/14, 1139 ) was Duke of Lorraine from 1115 to 1139. He was the son of Duke Dietrich II ( House Châtenois ) and Hedwig von Formbach , thus half-brother of Emperor Lothar III . († 1137).
In 1115 he succeeded his father as duke. In 1122 he accompanied Emperor Heinrich V in the Worms Concordat , which put an end to the investiture dispute . Within the duchy he came into conflict with Stephan von Bar, Bishop of Metz from 1120, and Albero von Montreuil , Archbishop of Trier from 1131, two allies of the Count of Bar . The archbishop excommunicated him, which Pope Innocent II reversed.
Duke Simon I was one of Bernhard von Clairvaux's friends . He founded several abbeys, including the Stürzelbronn Abbey in 1135 , in which he was also reburied after he was first buried in Saint-Dié .
He married Adelheid († 1158), whose filiation is not certain. Some see her as the daughter of Heinrich III. , Count von Löwen , and Gertrud von Flandern (who married Simon's father Dietrich II.), Others as the daughter of Gerhard von Süpplingenburg , Count von Querfurt, and Hedwig von Formbach , which in turn means that she is the aunt her husband would have been. Your children were:
- Agathe, 1130/48 attested; ∞ Rainald III. , Count of Mâcon , Count of Burgundy , † 1148/49 ( House of Burgundy-Ivrea ). Both daughter Beatrix († 1184) became the wife of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and Roman-German Empress.
