Charles of Lower Lorraine, Duke of Lower Lorraine 1) Son of Louis IV of France, King of France and Gerberga of Saxony, Abbess of Notre-Dame de Soissons. Born 953 Died 993, 39 or 40 years Notes: "Karolus dux, frater Lotharii regis, genuit Ermengardem et Gerbergam." (Genealogia Comitum Bulonensium) Married before 979 (at least 14 years married) to: Adela Unknown Children: 1. Gerberga of Lower Lorraine 1)Born ± 980 Died 1018, approximately 38 years Notes: "Geberga vero soror Ermengardis genuit Henricum seniorem de Bursella. Henricus senior genuit Lambertum comitem et Henricum fratrem eius et Mathildem sororem eorem". The genealogy of the counts of Boulogne seem to incorrectly identify Gerberga's immediate family - her son Henry, died without issue, and was succeed by his brother (as opposed to son) Lambert. 2. Ermengarde of Lower Lorraine 1)Born ± 980 Died after 1012 Notes: "Ermengardis genuit Albertum comitem de Namuco". (Genealogia Comitum Bulonensium) |
