FOLMAR [IV], son of [FOLMAR [III] Graf im Bliesgau & his wife Bertha ---] (-1026 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The Fundatio Ecclesiæ Sancti Georgii Lunarensis records that "comes Folmarus senex" founded the monastery of Saint-Rémy at Lunéville[245].

m GERBERGE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[246], she was possibly Gerberge de Verdun, daughter of Godefroi "der Gefangene" Comte de Verdun & his wife Mechtild of Saxony [Billung] but the basis for this speculation is not known.

Graf Folmar [IV] & his wife had three children:

1. GOTTFRIED [I] (-before 1056). The Fundatio Ecclesiæ Sancti Georgii Lunarensis records that "comes Folmarus et Godefridus" donated property "ad Consengis" for the soul of "patris sui Folmari"[247].

The Fundatio Ecclesiæ Sancti Georgii Lunarensis records that "comes Godefridus" donated property "apud Priviliacum" and "comitissa Iudith" gave property "ad Bovengis"[249]. The source does not specify that Judith was the wife of Gottfried but this is a reasonable interpretation as the wife of Gottfried's brother Folmar is specified, and no other donor is named in the passage.
