Reginald I (also called "the One-eyed", Reinald I, Renaud I; c. 1080 – 10 March 1149) was Count of Bar (1105–1149). Barrois, during the Middle Ages, was the territory of the counts and dukes of Bar, in the eastern part of present-day France, bordering Lorraine.

He was the son of Theodoric I, Count of Montbéliard and Ermentrude of Bourgogne, the daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy.

Reginald's first wife is unknown. He later married Gisele de Vaudémont, widow of Rainard III, Count of Toul, and daughter of Gérard I, Count of Vaudémont, and his wife Heilwig von Egisheim. Reginald and Gisele had eight children:

Hugh de Bar (d. 29 September 1141)
Reginald II, Count of Bar
Drogo de Bar
Dietrich III de Bar (d. 8 August 1171), Bishop of Metz
Agnes de Bar (d. after 1185), married Albert. Count of Chiny
Clemence de Bar (1123–1183), married first Alberic II, Count of Dammartin, second Renaud, Count of Clermont, and third Thibaut III de Crépy
Mathilde de Bar, married Konrad I, Count of Wildgraf von Kyrburg
Stephaine de Bar (d. 1178), married Hugh III, Seigneur of Broyes and Châteauvillain

Reginald was one of the leaders of the Second Crusade in 1145. He was drowned somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea on his return voyage to Europe on or before 10 March 1149.

Reginald I of Bar succeeded Theodoric II of Bar (r. 1092–1105) who was succeeded in turn by Reginald II of Bar (r. 1150–1170) in 1150.

gollark: I disagree strongly with this.

gollark: I mostly use it to follow somewhat interesting stuff like a thread on exotic political compasses.

gollark: Also his actual tweets, quite often.

gollark: The mostly irrelevant village I live in has had 4G connectivity for a year or so, which is nice. I wish they'd roll that out more rather than overhyping pointless 5G.

gollark: The law is with you as long as few enough people start saying wrong things™ on the internet (or, well, specifically your platform) that people start complaining a lot. Public opinion might not be. The issue with making a new less-moderated version of something is that it inevitably attracts a few people who genuinely care about free speech a lot, and probably a lot who want to say terrible/stupid things somewhere.
