b) GODEFROI de Montaigu (-1161). His parentage is confirmed by reading together the documents under which he and his father granted rights in Clermont woods to Flône abbey. Comte de Montaigu et de Clermont. Comte de Duras. "Godefridus de Claromonte comes de Duras" confirmed the grant of rights "in silva sua de Claro Monte" by "patris sui" to the monks of Flône, with the consent of "participe suo Reinardo", by charter dated 1157, followed by another charter dated 1157 under which Henri Bishop of Liège confirmed the grant by "Godefridus comes de Durays et Renardus de Harmala"[221]. Seigneur de Rochefort. Burger and avoué of Dinant.

m [as her first husband,] JULIANE de Duras, daughter of OTTO [II] Comte de Duras & his wife Berthe de Ribemont (-1164). Henri Bishop of Liège approved the donation of “possessionis sue Aleym” made to Saint-Trond by “comes Otto Duracheinsis”, with the consent of “fratrum suorum Theoderici et Brunonis et nepotum suorum Alexandri prepositi et Arnulfi”, by charter dated 1146, which adds that the donor had bequeathed “advocatiam” and soon after that “gener eius Godefridus comes et filia Julia” donated property to the abbey[222]. Heiress of Duras. Henri Bishop of Liège approved the donation of “decimam...de Molembisul” made by “Erlendis quondam Geldoniensis comitissa viro suo defuncto” to Heylissem abbey, which was confirmed by “Juliane comitisse uxoris Godefridi comitis” with the consent of “filiis et filiabus suis Egidio, Petro, Conone, Gerberga et Claritia” for the soul of “viri sui comitis Godefridi”, by charter dated 1164, before 12 May[223]. “Rodulphus...ecclesie beati Lamberti...in Leodio custos” notified that “domina Juliana de Duraz bone memorie comitissa et filius eius Egidius” donated “dimidium mansum allodii sui in Geldonge” to Heylissem abbey by charter dated 1164, before Nov[224]. [Europ%C3%A4ische Stammtafeln indicates that Juliane married secondly Enguerrand d'Orbais[225]. This second marriage may be hinted at by the charter dated 1171 under which “Godefridus...dux Lotharingie et comes Bracbantie” donated “ecclesie...in Pervweiz” to Heylissem abbey, specifying that “comes de Duraz...a quo Engelrandus de Orbais...infiodatus est” was “inbeneficatus a nobis” and that “Godefridum de Sumbreffia” also donated “dimidia parte huius beneficii”[226]. This document does indicate some Duras/Orbais family connection but its wording is insufficiently precise to conclude that this supposed second marriage took place. In addition, the chronology of the Duras and Orbais families is not favourable for such a marriage. Another charter confirms that the Brabant, Duras and Orbais families were joint donors of the church of Perwez, although the basis of their joint interest has not been ascertained: Bruno Archdeacon of Liège confirmed the donation of “ecclesie...in Peruuueis” to Heylissem abbey made by “quatuor viri nobiles quorum fundus fuit ecclesie...dux Godefridus, comes Egidius, Eigelramus, Godefridus” by charter dated 1171[227].] Comte Godefroi & his wife had five children:
