Albert I, Count of Namur
Albert I (died ca. 1011) was the son of Robert I, Count of Lomme. He became Count of Namur in 998.
He married Ermengarde, daughter of Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, and had the following sons:
- Robert II, Count of Namur died without issue and was succeeded by his younger brother Albert
- Albert II, Count of Namur was father of Hedwige of Namur, who married Gerard, Duke of Lorraine. They were the great-great-grandparents of Beatrice, who married Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
There are some doubts about the correct list of his daughters, as there are two very different lists given in two primary documents.[1]
The "Genealogia ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi" lists:[2]
- Hadewide
- Emma of Looz
The "Vita Arnulfi Episcopi Suessioniensis" I.3, MGH SS XV.2, p. 879. lists:[3]
- Liutgard mother of Emmon Count of Looz, and his brother Otto.
- Goda
- Ermengarde
Liutgarde and Emma, both with a connection to Looz, are sometimes therefore thought to represent a garbled account of the same person.
