Albert III, Count of Namur
(14 times our ancestor, blood-relationship 0,0000031 %)
* 1027? x Ida of Saxony + 22-6-1102
Albert's uncle, Duke Godefroid III of Lower-Lorraine, who had no children, had appointed Godefroid of Bouillon, his sister Ida's son, as his heir. When Duke Godefroid was murdered in 1076, Albert III disputed his cousin's succession, himself being a grandson of Gozelon I "The Great", Duke of Lorraine, as well as a great-grandson of Duke Gozelon's sister Bonne of Ardennes, the wife of Charles "The Fat", Duke of Lower-Lorraine. Albert's attempt was eventually unsuccessful. Initially, neither contender won, because he German King Heinrich IV appointed his own two year-old son Conrad as the new Duke, clearly demonstrating that Lower-Lorraine had lost its significance as a political entity. Eleven years later, in 1087, Godefroid finally did become Duke of Lower-Lorraine, after Conrad had been appointed King of Germany (Conrad VII) by his father Heinrich IV, who had himself been crowned as Emperor in 1084 by the rival Pope Clemens III (Clemens had just been made Pope by Heinrich himself, as the replacement for Heinrich's arch-enemy Pope Gregorius VII.)

(1 times our ancestor, blood-relationship 0,000012 %)
* 1186 (Namur) x I. Thibaut (Diebold) I, Count of Bar-Mousson (1197), II. Walram IV, "Duke of Limburg" (1214) + 17-2-1247
In 1186, Henri IV was an old man who expected to die without heirs. He had already named Boudewijn V, Count of Hainaut (and later also of Flanders) as his successor. Then his daughter Ermesinde was born. He made her his heir instead, and a war of succession broke out. The outcome was that Ermesinde became Countess of Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche, and Boudewijn V's second son Philipe became Count of Namur. Luxembourg and Limburg were politically united again through Ermesinde's marriage to "Duke Walram". After Walram's death, Countess Ermesinde ruled Luxembourg alone for another 20 years.
For Ermesinde's descendants by Walram IV see the page on the Counts of Luxembourg. For the family of her first husband Thibaut (Diebold) I, see the page on the Counts of Bar-Mousson.
