Died 1161 | ||
Godefroi (d. 1161), Count of Montaigu and Clermont, Count of Duras, son of Lambert, Count of Montaigu and Clermont, and his wife Gertrud. Godefroi was Count of Montaigu and Clermont by inheritance and Count of Duras by virtue of marriage. He was also Seigneur of Rochefort, and burger and avoué of Dinant.
With an uneventful career as count, Godefroi married Julienne, daughter of Otto II, Count of Duras, and his wife Berthe of Valenciennes. Godefroi and Julienne had five children:
Upon the death of Godefroi, his son Gilles inherited all three counties. Pierre is also listed as a Count of Montaigu, but as he died before his older brother, it is not clear that he ever actually held the title. After Conon’s death, his brother-in-law Wery II de Walcourt became Count of Montaigu and Clermont, whereas Gérard II, Count of Looz, became the Count of Duras, reflecting the relationship between Looz and Duras dating back to the first Count of Looz, Giselbert.
