2 | before 950s | N/A | Ardennengau | Ardennengau: | ||
3 | County of Arlon | County of Arlon: The pagus/County of Arlon, centered around the town of Arlon, is mentioned for the first time in the Treaty of Meerssen of 870, where it was allocated to Charles the Bald. | [23], p. 175 [w1] | |||
4 | Chiny / Étalle / Ivois / Latour / Margut / Musson / Rancimont, Thibessart / Saint-Mard / Vance / Villers-devant-Orval / Virton | County of Ivois | County of Ivois: The pagus/County of Ivois (sometimes pagus Evodiensis) was mentioned only a few times, thrice during in the early to mid-900s, and its extent or any borders it may have had are unknown. While earlier historians such as Léon Vanderkindere viewed the County of Chiny as a direct continuation of the County of Ivois during the 1000s, more contemporary ones such as Arlette Laret-Kayser assert that they were two separate political entities, covering different territories. For instance, the town of Longlier (in the north of the County of Chiny) was mentioned as in the Ardennengau, while Ivois was in the Wavergau. This collapse of the old Carolingian pagi and creation of more 'feudal' principalities such as Chiny was a complex and vague process, with many gaps in documentation. Because no other information on the precise borders of the County of Ivois seems to have survived, it will be shown as covering the same area as the early County of Chiny, including Longlier. | [4], p. 29-32, 35 [w1] | ||
5 | Châtillon, Gomery, Grandcourt, Ruette-la-Petite, Saint-Remy, Signeulx / Fresnois-la-Montagne / Halanzy / Longwy / Montigny-sur-Chiers / Ruette-la-Grande | Methingau | Methingau: Little is known about the Methingau, or pagus Matensis, but it appears to have approximately covered the area of the future counties of Longwy and Luxembourg. It is first mentioned as "comitatu Methingowinse" in 926, where the village of Weimerskirch is named as in the "pago Alsencensi" within the Methingau. The County of Longwy appears to have later formed the southern part of the Methingau, and the first known mention of a count there is of Liétard, "comes de Longui", in 973. Count Liétard is also mentioned as being the Count of Cutry and of Mercy, but nothing else is known of these domains. Because no descriptions of the exact territory of the County of Longwy could be found during its existence, its borders will be based off of the later Provostship of Longwy (see the "Towns in the Provostship of Longwy" section of the "Other Notes" sheet). | [1], p. 359-360 [30], p. 178-181 [54], p. 79-81 | ||
6 | Ambedeux / Bièvre / Daigny, Illy, Lamécourt, La Moncelle / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Givonne / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | Archbishopric of Reims | Archbishopric of Reims: According to tradition, the area around Douzy (near Mouzon) was held by the Bishops of Reims since the 6th century. However, although this may be apocryphal, the estate was donated to Charlemagne in 772 by the archbishop in exchange for payments of rent. By the late 800s, this rent was no longer being paid, so the estate was recovered to Reims some time after the rule of Archbishop Fulk in the early 900s. The pagus Mosomensis, which may have corresponded roughly to this territory, is first sporadically mentioned during the mid-800s. In May 973 (or 971 according to [21]?) the recently refounded Abbey of Mouzon was endowed by the archbishop with properties in the villages of Cesse, Yoncq, Pourron, Brévilly, Petit-Rémilly, and Aillicourt, so they were therefore likely in Mouzon's pagus and were later confirmed as temporal possessions of the abbey. In a Feb. 1243 agreement, the Abbot of Mouzon and Bishop of Liège establish the new town of Proisy, splitting the revenues between themselves. This town no longer exists (part of modern Bièvre), so it will not be shown. The agreement also reaffirms the abbot's rights to nearby Bièvre and Gembes, which it has owned "ab antiquo" (since ancient times). | [10], p. 58-59 [20], p. 455-456 [21], p. 29-33 [70], p. 439-441 [73], p. 220-221 | ||
7 | N/A | N/A | Wavergau: The Wavergau/pagus Wabrensis/Woëvre region formed a large region organized into many separate counties, rather than one whole political entity. Among these counties included the County of Ivois, County of Arlon, Verdun(?), Charpeigne(?), and the pagus Matensis or Methingau. As such, it will not be shown in the video. | [2], p. 806-807 [4], p. 31 | ||
8 | before 960/04/08 | Methingau | [Unknown] | Godfrey the Captive | The village of Mamer is named as within the "comitatu Mithegovve" (Methingau), ruled over by Count Godfrey the Captive, count of the Bidgau and of Verdun, and son of Count Gozlin. In the act of Apr. 17, 963, Godfrey is again mentioned as Count of the Methingau, with the castle of "Lucilinburhuc" being placed within it. Godfrey thus likely came into possession of the Methingau some time beforehand. | [30], p. 216-219, 231-236 [55], p. 24 [w20] |
9 | 963/04/17 | Luxembourg Castle | Methingau | [Independent] | After failing to establish a foothold at Bodeux near Stavelot, Count Siegfried purchases the castle of "Lucilinburhuc" from the Abbey of Saint-Maximin, in exchange for some of his properties in Feulen (which were in the pagus of Ardenne, ruled by his brother, Count Giselbert). This castle was in the Methingau at the time, under the rule of his nephew Count Godfrey the Captive, and it is in today's Luxembourg City. This is often considered the birth of the later County of Luxembourg, although Siegfried and his first few successors never used the title "of Luxembourg". However, this title will be used for these early counts for the sake of the video. | [29], p. 812-813 [30], p. 231-236 [w9] |
10 | before Jul. 24, 971 | N/A | N/A | N/A | The forces of Archbishop Adalberon of Reims and Godfrey I the Captive, Count of Verdun, besiege Warcq Castle, owned by Count Otto I of Warcq. After a failed first attack, they burn the castle to the ground. | [4], p. 19-20 |
11 | after 971 | Ambedeux / Daigny, Illy, Lamécourt, La Moncelle / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Givonne / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | Archbishopric of Reims | House of Ardenne-Verdun (as advocate under the Archbishopric of Reims) | Archbishop Adalberon of Reims grants to his brother Godfrey I the Captive, Count of Verdun, the office of advocate of the Abbey of Mouzon. | [67], p. 109, 132 |
12 | after 997 | Methingau | [Independent] | County of Longwy / County of Luxembourg | The date of Godfrey the Captive's death isn't known, but he was present at the Council of Mouzon in 995 and likely died after some time after 997. It is assumed that Godfrey held the Methingau until his death, and that it disintegrated into the smaller domains of Luxembourg and Longwy afterward due to a lack of further mentions. However, the exact details of the disappearance of the Methingau in favor of these smaller counties are not known, so this is likely a simplification of events. On Apr. 6, 1018, Duke Godfrey II of Lower Lotharingia is referenced as advocate of the Abbey of Mouzon, so he likely inherited the office following the death of his father, Godfrey I the Captive. | [55], p. 24 [67], p. 192-194 [w20] |
13 | Ambedeux / Daigny, Illy, Lamécourt, La Moncelle / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Givonne / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | Godfrey the Captive | Godfrey II | |||
14 | 998/10/28 | County of Luxembourg | Siegfried | Henry I | Siegfried of Luxembourg dies, and he is succeeded by his son, Henry I (also later Duke Henry V of Bavaria). | [29], p. 811, 815-816 [30], p. 297 |
15 | after 1015/05/09 | County of Longwy | Liétard | Manegaud | This is the last known mention of Count Liétard of Longwy, and it is said he donated Baslieux to the Abbey of Saint-Vanne in Verdun. He likely died some time afterward, probably being succeeded by his son, Manegaud. | [1], p. 360-361 [w1] |
16 | 1023/09/26 | Ambedeux / Daigny, Illy, Lamécourt, La Moncelle / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Givonne / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | House of Ardenne-Verdun (as advocate under the Archbishopric of Reims) | Archbishopric of Reims | It is unclear whether or not the advocacy of Mouzon passed from Duke Godfrey II of Lower Lotharingia to an heir upon his death. Since no further references could be found, it is assumed to revert back to the Archbishop of Reims. | [55], p. 30 |
17 | 1025/09/28 | County of Ivois | Louis I | Louis II | Arnoul of Granson was often cited as the first Count of Chiny, but his existence has since been refuted by more recent historians. He was probably invented after the end of the 13th century to improve the prestige of the Counts of Chiny. Count Otto I of Warcq is the oldest concrete ancestor of the later counts, and he may have held territory in what would become the County of Chiny, although he is never named as count there. Very little is known about Otto, but later Counts of Chiny would also hold Warcq. As such, he will not be shown as Count of Chiny in the video. The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium names Louis I as Count of Chiny (and briefly Count of Verdun) and as son of a count named Otto, presumably Count Otto I of Warcq. However, this may be called into question by the fact that it was written over a century after these events, and a few contemporary documents, seemingly about this same Louis, do not mention him as count of either Chiny or Warcq. Any date of when Louis began to rule what would become the County of Chiny appears to be lost. However, according to the Gesta, Louis I is murdered by Gothelo I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, on Sep. 28, 1025, and he is succeeded by his son, Louis II. Because no beginning date for his reign could be found, Louis I will not be shown in the video. | [4], p. 12-16, 44-48 [w1] |
18 | 1026/02/27 | County of Luxembourg | Henry I | Henry II | Henry I of Luxembourg dies and is succeeded by his nephew, Henry II of Luxembourg. | [29], p. 818 [30], p. 328-330 |
19 | before 1028 | County of Bastogne | [Unknown] | Gozelon | Some time in 1028, Count Gozelon gives properites in the towns of Remience, Fays, Morhet, Houmont, and Chisogne to the Abbey of Saint-Hubert. On Apr. 19 of the same year, he is named as Count of Bastogne, and Longchamps is cited as in his county. | [2], p. 820 |
20 | before 1031 | County of Longwy | Manegaud | Giselbert | Around 1040, Manegaud dies, and the next few decades of the history of Longwy are very obscure. It has been suggested that Adalbert, later Duke of Lorraine, became Count of Longwy, but this appears to likely be untrue and due to the misinterpretation of a single text. Historians such as Vanderkindere posit that Adalbert, Duke of Lorraine, had a daughter named Ermesinde, who would then go on to marry Conrad I of Luxembourg, bringing the County of Longwy into possession of the Counts of Luxembourg. However, this was disputed by later historians, such as Vannérus, who instead doubt the connection between Adalbert and Ermesinde. Vannérus asserts that Longwy passed to the House of Luxembourg with Giselbert of Luxembourg, the father of Conrad I, as he is cited as Count of Longwy in a document from 1031 or 1032. This may have been because he was presumably close with Liétard, being mentioned together in some documents. Giselbert then became Count of Luxembourg on Oct. 14, 1047 after the death of Henry II, the previous count. | [1], p. 361-362 [29], p. 826, 835-838 [w1] |
21 | before 1040 | Lordship of Mirwart / Fisc of Chevigny | [Unknown] | Richilde | In 955, a Count Étienne gave the Abbey of Saint-Hubert property in Chauvency (later called Chauvency-Saint-Hubert), due to his construction of the castle of Mirwart. Despite the claiming of abbital chronicles, the castle was not likely built on allodial land of the abbey, but rather it was seen as a threat due to its proximity to such land. Mirwart would only fall to Saint-Hubert later, along with Grupont. It isn't known who Count Étienne was or the extent of his possessions in the area, so he will not be shown. Later, Richilde, Countess of Hainaut and Flanders, inherited large alloidal holdings in the Ardennes region. Their origins aren't known, but Count Étienne (who built Mirwart) was likely a relative of Richilde, leading to her inheritance of his estates. It isn't known when she inherited these lands, but they will be shown as in her possession following her marriage to Count Herman of Hainaut around 1040. | [74], p. 9-10 [75], p. 72-76 [88], p. 294-295 |
22 | 1040 | Daigny, Illy, Lamécourt, La Moncelle / Givonne | Archbishopric of Reims | Lordship of Bouillon (as fief of the Archbishopric of Reims) | Either by leveraging their position as advocates of the Abbey of Mouzon or through other means, the Bouillon dukes gained territories from the Archbishopric of Reims south of the Forest of Bouillon. These were formally granted by the archbishop as a fief of Godfrey the Bearded in 1040 (he may have been acting for his father Gothelo I, who was at the time Duke of Lower Lotharingia). The original treaty has been lost, but it was likely a recognition of an already existing state of affairs. Following the acquisition of Bouillon by the Bishop of Liège, disputes arose over this fief, but they were resolved in an 1127 agreement affirming the territory was to be held by Liège in fief from Reims in exchange for certain obligations. The villages composing this fief were not the same ones later referenced in the 1259 treaty at Francheval. Only Illy, Givonne, Daigny, Lamécourt, and La Moncelle appear to have been controlled by Liège (and presumably their Ardennes predecessors), while the rest were solely under Reims or of an unknown status. | [21], p. 25-26, 42-43 [70], p. 56-58 |
23 | 1047/10/14 | County of Luxembourg | Henry II | Giselbert | Henry II of Luxembourg dies and is succeeded by his brother, Giselbert of Luxembourg. | [29], p. 826 [30], p. 383-385 |
24 | 1050 | Ambedeux / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | Archbishopric of Reims | County of Rethel (as fief of the Archbishopric of Reims) | Archbishop Guy of Reims grants the Castellany of Mouzon as a benefice to Count Manasses III of Rethel (the archbishop still holds sovereignty over the territory). | [20], p. 456 |
25 | before 1052 | County of Arlon | [Unknown] | Waleran I | Waleran I is mentioned as Count of Arlon alongside his wife Adelheid, his son Waleran II, and his other son, Foulques. This indicates Waleran I presumably became Count of Arlon some time beforehand. A Waleran of Arlon may have been mentioned in both 981 and 993, but this appears to be unclear and disputed. Not much is known about any previous counts, although in the year 1000, the village of Platen is mentioned as in the "pago Arrelensi" (pagus of Arlon), alongside a count called Henry. It isn't known who this Henry was or if he was actually count of the County/pagus of Arlon, but it is possible he was Henry I, Count of Luxembourg. | [23], p. 193-194, 205-208 [44], p. 36-37, 45 [w1] |
26 | before 1055 | Lordship of Orchimont | [Unknown] | Adelard and Thiezelin | Adelard and Thiezelin of Orchimont are are cited for the first time in 1055 and again in 1064, presumably ruling as brothers. | [73], p. 31 |
27 | before 1055 | County of Arlon | Waleran I | Foulques and Waleran II | Foulques, the son of Waleran I of Arlon, is listed as Count of Arlon in a document from 1055, indicating Waleran I had died beforehand. In 1065, Waleran I's wife Adelheid appears in a document regarding the donation of church property to Saint-Hubert, and she appears to be a widow. Waleran I's sons, Waleran II and Foulques, likely succeeded him and ruled jointly, and they are both mentioned as counts in a document from 1068. Waleran II of Arlon is mentioned as the father of Henry I of Limburg by the chronicler Alberic of Trois-Fontaines, whereas other documents name Udo of Limburg as Henry I's father. This has led earlier historians to view Udo of Limburg and Waleran II of Arlon as the same person, but this has since been corrected by historians such as Eduard Hlawitschka and is unlikely. | [23], p. 208, 232 [30], p. 439 [44], p. 36-39 |
28 | before 1056/10/05 | County of La Roche | [Unknown] | Frederick | According to the Cantatorium of the Abbey of Saint-Hubert, after Gozelon's death, the fisc of Amberloup passed to his daughter, Cunigunde. She and her husband, a Saxon count named Otto, had a 'scandalous' divorce, and her estates were confiscated by the Emperor. Following this, Emperor Henry III gave the castle of La Roche and fisc of Amberloup (within the County of Bastogne) to Frederick of Ardenne-Luxembourg, Duke of Lower Lotharingia, in exchange for Frederick's estates in Saxony. Frederick became Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1046, and Henry III died on Oct. 5, 1056. Thus, this must have taken place between these dates (the latter will be used to be conservative). Nothing is known regarding the date of Gozelon's death or Cunigunde's divorce, so she will not be shown in the video. It is possible Frederick possessed La Roche before this, and the Emperor was simply legalizing an already existing situation. However, because hardly anything is known about La Roche or what would become its county prior to this mention, it will be shown as without a known ruler up until then. The fisc of Amberloup was seemingly tied to the County of Bastogne, as evidenced by Gozelon holding both. As such, the County of Bastogne will be shown as transferred to Frederick. Additionally, it isn't known when or how exactly the County of Bastogne was attached to the County of La Roche. However, because there are no further mentions of counts of Bastogne, it will be placed within La Roche from this point. | [30], p. 399-401 [52], p. 525-527 |

His death occured on Aug. 14 of one of these years, as recorded in a necrology. | [29], p. 827 [30], p. 414-415 |

37 | after 1065/08/28 | County of La Roche | Ida | Albert | Ida remarries to Count Albert III of Namur, likely soon after the death of Duke Frederick of Lower Lotharingia, her former husband. She thereby brings Albert her properties of the castle of La Roche and fisc of Amberloup jure uxoris. | [52], p. 528 [53], p. LXXVI, CXXIX-CXXX |
38 | before 1066 | County of Ivois | [Independent] | County of Chiny | Prior to the middle of the 1000s, the counts ruling over Ivois don't seem to have called themselves "Count of Chiny". The Gesta names Louis I and Louis II as "counts of Chiny", but it was written well after later counts started using that title. Arnoul I appears to be the first count to definitely be "of Chiny", so the County of Ivois will be referred to as Chiny after his ascension, for the sake of the video. It should be noted that the transition between these two states was not as smooth as is depicted, but due to the lack of surviving information, it will have to be shown as such. | [4], p. 48 |
39 | before 1066 | County of Chiny | Louis II | Arnoul I | Arnoul I, son of Louis II, was mentioned as being count in a document from 1066, meaning Louis II had died some time before then. | [4], p. 43 [w1] |
40 | before 1067/08/30 | Lordship of Orchimont | Adelard and Thiezelin | Giselbert I | Adelard and Thiezelin of Orchimont are mentioned for the last time (along with Adelard's son Boson) and are likely succeeded by Giselbert I. Giselbert and his brother Godescalc of Ciney are cited in the charters from 1055 and 1064 but not with the title "of Orchimont". Giselbert appears again in 1069 and for the last time on Aug. 10, 1081. | [30], p. 435-437 [73], p. 32-33 [94], p. 5 |
41 | 1071 | Ambedeux / Escombres, Messincourt, Sachy / Mouzon / Pouru-aux-Bois / Sedan | County of Rethel (as fief of the Archbishopric of Reims) | County of Chiny (as fief of the Archbishopric of Reims) | Around this time, Count Arnoul I of Chiny buys the Castellany of Mouzon from the Archbishop of Reims, Manasses I. It isn't known when Count Manasses III of Rethel ceased to hold the castellany, but it must have been some time before this. | [21], p. 37 |
42 | 1071 | Fisc of Chevigny | [Independent] | Abbey of Saint-Hubert (as fief of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, and as pledge from [Independent]) | Richilde, Countess of Hainaut and Flanders, sells her fisc of Chevigny to the Abbey of Saint-Hubert as a pledge.

Godfrey of Bouillon is cited as advocate of Saint-Hubert in 1082, so he must have gained the office beforehand, perhaps hereditarily. | [68], p. 50-51 [74], p. 56-57, 69-72 [89], p. 106-107 |

50 | after 1085 | County of Arlon | Foulques and Waleran II | Henry I | The last known mention of Counts Waleran II and Foulques of Arlon is from 1085, where they are listed as witnesses to a document with the Archbishop of Trier. It isn't known when they died, but the County of Arlon presumably fell into the hands of Henry I of Limburg. Henry I likely inherited Arlon through a marriage to one of Waleran I of Arlon's granddaughters, about whom nothing is known. Some time later, he married Adelheid of Pottenstein, therefore assumed to be a second marriage. | [30], p. 451 [44], p. 37, 43-46 |

67 | before 1123 | Lordship of Orchimont | Godfrey II | Giselbert II | Giselbert II of Orchimont is referenced in this year, likely succeeding Godfrey II, but not much else is known about him. | [73], p. 39-40 [w8] |

70 | 1134 | N/A | N/A | N/A | Renaud I of Bar seizes Bouillon by force, justifying it due to his distant relation with Godfrey of Bouillon. The Bishop of Liège, Alexander I, tries in vain to reclaim the castle through diplomatic means over the following several years. | [65], p. 129-130 [w24] |
71 | Lordship of Bouillon | Alexander I | Renaud | |||
72 | 1136 | County of Luxembourg | Conrad II | Lothair | Conrad II of Luxembourg was last mentioned on May 30, 1135, and he probably died some time in 1136. Following his death, the County of Luxembourg reverted to Emperor Lothair III, while the allodial possessions (which are not shown) were split between Conrad II's sister Liutgarde and Henry the Blind (his cousin). | [29], p. 854 [30], p. 554-556 [32], p. 11 |
73 | after 1136 | County of Luxembourg | Lothair | Henry IV the Blind | The Emperor enfeoffes the County of Luxembourg to Henry IV the Blind. It isn't known when this occured, although it possibly happened at a Diet in Cologne in Apr. 1138. | [32], p. 11 [60], p. 49 |
74 | before 1138/04/11 | County of La Roche | Henry I | Godfrey | The final mention of Henry I of La Roche is from 1128, and his son Godfrey is first mentioned as Count of La Roche on Apr. 11, 1138. Thus, Henry I died between these two dates, being succeeded by his son. | [30], p. 562-563 [53], p. CXXXI-CXXXII |
75 | before 1139 | County of La Roche | Godfrey | Henry II | before 1139 - It isn't known exactly when Henry II succeeded his brother Godfrey as Count of La Roche, but Henry II is mentioned as "Henricus de Rupe" in 1139 with no further mention of Godfrey. Henry II would be explitictly named as count 1143, but it is likely he was count by 1139. | [30], p. 578 [52], p. 528 [53], p. CXXXII |
76 | 1139/07/16 | County of Arlon | Waleran III Paganus | Waleran | Waleran III Paganus of Arlon / II of Limburg dies, and he is succeeded to Limburg by his son, Henry II. Some sources cite Aug. 6, 1139 as the date of his death. [w10] does this, and cites a source, [46], which actually claims the date as Jul. 16, according to a necrology from the Abbey of Stavelot. The County of Arlon was inherited by Waleran III's other son, Waleran of Arlon. This Waleran is never referred to as "Waleran IV" by historians, instead being called simply "Waleran". | [46], p. 48-49 [w10] [w14] |
77 | 1139/08/19 | County of Longwy | Ermesinde and Godfrey | Ermesinde | Godfrey of Namur dies, leaving Ermesinde as the sole ruler of Longwy. | [w8] |
78 | 1141/06/26 | County of Longwy | Ermesinde | Henry the Blind | Ermesinde dies, and the County of Longwy passes to her son, Henry IV the Blind of Luxembourg. | [29], p. 843 [w9] |

81 | before 1147/01/04 | County of Arlon | Waleran | Henry II | Waleran dies, and the County of Arlon falls to his brother, Henry II of Limburg. Waleran is last mentioned as "Comes Waleramus de Arlon" on Dec. 30, 1145, and Henry II is first named Count of Arlon on Jan. 4 or 5, 1147 ([30] cites the document as dating from Jan. 4, not Jan. 5, which seems to be more accurate). This means Waleran died some time between then. | [30], p. 603-607 [46], p. 77-79 |
82 | before 1153/01/10 | County of La Roche | Henry II | Henry III the Blind | Henry II of La Roche is last mentioned in a charter dating from 1152, and it is likely he died a short time afterward. Henry II left behind no children, and as such, the County of La Roche escheated to Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. He in turn invested the county with Henry the Blind, Count of Namur and Luxembourg, before Jan. 10, 1153 (the date of a charter mentioning Henry II formerly held the advocacy of the Abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy). | [30], p. 634-635 [53], p. CXXXII-CXXXIII |
83 | before 1162 | Lordship of Orchimont | Giselbert II | Giselbert III | The chronicler Jean d'Outremeuse reports that the Bishop of Liège bought the castle of Orchimont in 1153, but this may be fictitious due to the lack of records of Liège ownership and d'Outremeuse's writing being centuries removed. Giselbert III of Orchimont appears in 1162 (or possibly 1163), donating possessions to the Abbey of Laval Dieu. | [73], p. 43-45, 368-369 |
84 | 1162/09/29 | County of Chiny | Albert | Louis III | Albert dies and is succeeded by his son, Louis III. | [4], p. 93 [w1] |

86 | 1167 | County of Arlon | Henry II | Henry III | Henry II of Limburg and Arlon dies of a plague in Rome, and he is succeeded by his son, Henry III. | [23], p. 238 [w10] |
87 | after 1167 | County of Arlon | [Independent] | Marquisate of Arlon | Henry III first appears as ruler of Arlon in 1170, where he titles himself Marquis of Arlon. From then on, the County of Arlon is reffered to as a marquisate. It appears to have been elevated as such early on in the reign of Henry III. | [23], p. 238-239 |
88 | before 1189 | County of Longwy | [Independent] | County of Bar | Agnes, daughter of Theobald I of Bar, marries Frederick II, future Duke of Lorraine, and she brings him the territories of Longwy, Stenay, and Amance (outside of video) as a dowry. After a war with Lorraine in 1208, Agnes' dowry is ceded to Theobald I, which he holds in usufruct, and a peace treaty from Nov. 2, 1208 stipulates that if Frederick II does not observe the peace, Theobald I will retain the Agnes' dowry after Theobald's death. Because of the rights Theobald held in these territories, and because Frederick II did not become Duke of Lorraine until 1205/1206 (Lorraine had been divided beforehand), these territories will be shown as part of the County of Bar until the death of Theobald I. By this point, the County of Longwy likely ceased to exist in its own right, and from now on is mentioned only as a castellany. Due to this, it will now be shown as part of the County of Bar. Furthermore, Longwy had previously been held by Henry IV the Blind, Count of Luxembourg, and it isn't clear how it passed from him to Theobald I of Bar. Longwy will be shown as in possession of Henry IV until the marriage around 1189, as no clear date could be found. | [15], p. 205, 217-220 [32], p. 66 [38], p. 65-66 [39], p. 45 |
89 | spring 1189 | County of Chiny | [Independent] | County of Bar (as fief of the County of Bar) | Louis III pays liege homage to the Count of Bar, Theobald I, placing the County of Chiny under the vassalage of the County of Bar. The act isn't recorded, but this homage is later renewed by Louis IV in Oct. 1204, and it is mentioned that his father, Louis III, had also paid liege homage to Theobald I earlier. This had to have happened before Louis III left on Crusade, and after Theobald I took over governing the County of Bar, after the previous count, Henry I, also left on Crusade. Later Counts of Chiny would also renew this homage with the Counts of Bar. | [5], p. 226-227 [4], p. 105 |
90 | 1189/08/10 | County of Chiny | Louis III | Louis IV | Louis III dies in the Third Crusade and is succeeded by his son, Louis IV. | [4], p. 107 |

92 | 1196/08/14 | County of Durbuy / County of La Roche / County of Luxembourg | Henry the Blind | Henry VI | In Jun. of 1163, Henry the Blind of Luxembourg appointed his sister Alice and her husband Count Baldwin IV of Hainaut as heirs to his allodial holdings in Namur, La Roche, Luxembourg, and Durbuy. However, this situation was reversed following the birth of Henry's daughter Ermesinde, leading to war between Henry and Baldwin. On Aug. 14, 1196, Henry the Blind dies, and the Counties of Luxembourg, La Roche, and Durbuy revert to Emperor Henry VI. | [30], p. 654-656, 768-769 [60], p. 52, 56 [84], p. 46-47 |

96 | before 1199/07/26 | Lordship of Orchimont | Bertrand | Jacques I | Jacques I of Orchimont is first appears as a witness to the peace treaty signed at Dinant on Jul. 26, 1199, likely succeeding Bertrand. | [30], p. 773-777 [73], p. 48-49 |
97 | 1199/07/26 | County of Durbuy / County of La Roche | [Independent] | [Independent] (as fief of the County of Hainaut) | A peace treaty is signed at Dinant, where it is stipulated that the counties of Durbuy and La Roche will remain with Theobald I of Bar, but in fief from Baldwin VI of Hainaut (also Count of Flanders). Durbuy and La Roche were again cited as fiefs of Hainaut in another treaty on Mar. 13, 1223, and they are again confirmed as fiefs in a treaty on Sep. 3, 1304. Durbuy and La Roche were then acknowledged as fiefs of the Count of Hainaut on May 1, 1334, this time with the exception of Marche-en-Famenne and its provostship. | [30], p. 773-777 [33], p. 161-165 [61], p. 160 [82], p. 25-30 [84], p. 49 |
98 | 1214/02/12 | County of La Roche / County of Luxembourg | Ermesinde and Theobald I | Ermesinde | The castellanies of Marville and Arrancy were originally part of the County of Bar. However, after Count Theobald I of Bar married Countess Ermesinde of Luxembourg, it was decided that upon Theobald I's death, Marville, Arrancy, Briey, Louppy, and other territories, would be inherited by Ermesinde II, and therefore Luxembourg, in a will from Apr. 3, 1211. However, upon Theobald I's deathbed, this will was modified to only leave the Castellany of Marville (Écouviez, Flassigny-la-Grande, Thonne-les-Près, Fermont, and Sorbey were part of Marville), Vezin (also part of Marville), and Louppy-sur-Loison to Ermesinde II. Theobald then dies, likely on Feb. 12, 1214. Upon his death, Longwy, Stenay, and Amance (outside of video) pass to Theobald I of Lorraine. On Jul. 30, 1214, Agnes cedes the property she holds in Longwy, Stenay, and Amance to Theobald I of Lorraine. | [12], p. 239 [15], p. 232-234 [16], p. 236 [38], p. 75-76 |
