Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau

Gozlin (911 – between 19 Oct 942 and 16 Feb 943), was count of the Ardennes and the Bidgau, and army commander for his brother, Adalbero I of Metz.

Gozlin was a son of Count Palatine Wigeric of Lotharingia and Cunigunda of France. In 930, he married Oda of Metz (905 – 10 Apr 963), a daughter of Count Gerard of Metz and Oda of Saxony. Through her mother Oda was a cousin of King Henry the Fowler of East Francia (Germany). Gozlin and Oda had the following children:

  • Reginar, count of Bastogne (d. 18 Apr 963). One of his sons was Adalberon (bishop of Laon).
  • Henry (d. 6 Sep 1000), Count of Arlon.
  • Godfrey "the Captive" (935/940 – 3 Sep 995/1002), count of Verdun
  • Adalberon (935/940 – 23 Jan 989), archbishop of Reims 969-989

    gollark: Not significantly. There's enough uranium for thousands of years if we use seawater and good reprocessing.
    gollark: For example, space travel.
    gollark: It doesn't need to be temporary. It's highly power-dense and therefore good for a lot of things.
