LOUIS ([1015]-[29 Aug 1071/1076]). This co-identity is proposed by Europäische Stammtafeln[5].

Louis de Montbéliard

Jump to: navigation, search

Louis Scarpone, born between 1005 and 1019, died between 1070 and 1073, was Count of Montbeliard, of Altkirch and of Ferrette (so that some authors describe as Count Sundgau) and his marriage Count of Bar and lord of Monsoon. He was the son of Richwin, Count Scarpone and Hildegarde of Eguisheim, sister of Pope Leo IX.

Sophie of Bar and his sister Beatrice, daughters of Duke Frederick II of Lorraine had been collected in 1033 by their maternal aunt, Gisela of Swabia, the wife of the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II. Lorraine had been entrusted to the Count of Verdun Gothelo I., but the Emperor want to reinforce his influence against the house of Verdun, which was soon to show signs of agitation, married his niece Sophie Louis in 1038. This marriage brought him the County Bar and the lordship of Monsoon.

A little later, in 1042, the emperor gave the counties of Montbeliard, of Altkirch and Ferrette. In 1044, he fought successfully Renaud I., Comte de Bourgogne, who had revolted against the emperor.

In 1047, the Duke of Lorraine, Godfrey II rebelled and was defeated. Lorraine, confiscated, had been given to Adalbert of Alsace, then Gerard d'Alsace, who died in 1070. Because his wife was the daughter of the first dukes of Lorraine, Louis claimed the duchy, but the Emperor Henry IV ruled in favor of Thierry II, the son of Gerard. This was different to the origin of the rivalry between the Counts of Bar and the dukes of Lorraine, a rivalry that will not disappear in 1420, with Rene d'Anjou, Isabella I of Lorraine and the union of the two houses.

Louis died shortly after. His wife Sophie of Bar, it had:

1. Thierry (1045 † 1105), Count of Montbéliard, Bar and Monsoon
2. Bruno
3. Louis, cited in 1080
4. Friedrich († 1092), Marquis of Susa
5. Sophie, married Folmar, Count Froburg
6. Beatrice († 1092), married Berthold I of Zähringen († 1078), Duke of Carinthia
7. Matilda, married Hugh de Dagsburg († 1089)
