GODEFROI [III] de Florennes, son of ARNAUD Seigneur de Florennes & his wife Ermentrude --- (-[1050]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Godefridum nobilem et Gerardum episcopum Cameracensem" as sons of "Arnullfum nobilem de Ruminiaceo…Alpaidis et Godefridi filius"[516]. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium also names "Godefridum nobilem et Gerardum episcopum Cameracensium" as sons of "Arnulfum nobilem de Rumiaco"[517]. The Vita Balderici names "Cameracensis ecclesie antistes Gerardus…fratre suo opitulante Godefridus"[518]. Seigneur de Florennes et de Rumigny. “Gislebertus et Arnulfus comites fratres mei, Wigerus advocatus, Godefridus de Florines...” witnessed the charter dated 1015 of Baldric Bishop of Liège relating to Hanret and Celles[519]. “Dux Gozelo, Godefridus Calvus de Florinez, Rufus, Fulcuinus de Wallecourt, Adelardus de Cymaco...” witnessed the charter dated 1026 under which Hezelon Bishop of Toul donated property at Duselen in Taxandria to Liège Saint-Barthélemy[520].

m GISELA, daughter of ---. Roland records that Gonzon abbot of Florennes noted that “advocatrix nostra Gisla” fed and clothed an orphan[521].

Godefroi [III] & his wife had two children:

1. GODEFROI [IV] de Florennes (-1078 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Seigneur de Florennes et de Rumigny. “...Godefridus et Arnulphus de Florines...” subscribed the charter dated [24 Aug] 1066 under which Theodouin Bishop of Liège donated property to Huy Notre-Dame[522]. The dating clause of a charter dated 1070, which records a donation made to Rumigny, records “...abbate Godefrido eiusdem loci, uxore eius Haduit...”, witnessed by “Godefridus advocatus, Nicolaus eius filius, Arnulfus frater eius...”[523]. “...Godefridum de Florinnez et Arnulphum, Odelinum de Walecurt...” witnessed the charter dated 1078 under which Henri Bishop of Liège donated property to Liège Saint-Barthélemy[524]. m HEDWIGE de Roucy, daughter of EBLES [I] Comte de Roucy & his wife Beatrix de Hainaut (-1070 or after). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aelidam et Hadewidem" as the two daughters of "Ebalus de Roceio" & his wife, specifying that Hedwige married "Godefridus frater episcopi Gerardi Cameracensis"[525], although the bishop in question was the uncle of Hedwige's husband not his brother. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Adelidem et Hadevidem" as the two daughters of "Ebalus de Roceio" and his wife Beatrix, specifying that Hedwige married "Condefrido de Ruminiaco" by whom she had "filium nomine Nicholaum et filias, quarum una peperit ex Radulfo de Veteri-villa Ebalum de Flurines et Ermentrudem, matrem Guilelmi de Birbais; secunda filia Hadevidis de Rumiaco ex Godefrido de Ranst peperit filios Iohannem et Nicholaum, qui Nicholaus Arnulfum et Godefridum procreavit; tercia filia iam dicte Hadevidis copulate domino de Granci peperit ei Ebalum eiusdem loci dominum"[526]. The dating clause of a charter dated 1070, which records a donation made to Rumigny, records “...abbate Godefrido eiusdem loci, uxore eius Haduit...”, witnessed by “Godefridus advocatus, Nicolaus eius filius, Arnulfus frater eius...”[527]. Godefroi [IV] & his wife had [five] children:

2. ARNAUD [III] (-after 15 Jul 1087). “...Godefridus et Arnulphus de Florines...” subscribed the charter dated [24 Aug] 1066 under which Theodouin Bishop of Liège donated property to Huy Notre-Dame[537]. The dating clause of a charter dated 1070, which records a donation made to Rumigny, records “...abbate Godefrido eiusdem loci, uxore eius Haduit...”, witnessed by “Godefridus advocatus, Nicolaus eius filius, Arnulfus frater eius...”[538]. “...Godefridum de Florinnez et Arnulphum, Odelinum de Walecurt...” witnessed the charter dated 1078 under which Henri Bishop of Liège donated property to Liège Saint-Barthélemy[539]. Roland records that “Arnoul de concert avec son épouse Ivette” declared having acquired “Morelli mansum” by charter dated 15 Jul 1087[540]. While this charter does not specify that Arnaud was seigneur de Morialmeis, it confirms that Arnaud held property in the place.
