BIOGRAPHY
Godfried II was born in 1105, the son of Godfried I 'with the Beard', duke of Lower-Lorraine, comte de Louvain, and Ida de Chiny. He was count of Louvain, landgrave of Brabant, marquis of Antwerp, and duke of Lower-Lorraine (as Godfried VI) from 1140 to 1142.

About 1139 he married Lutgardis von Sulzbach, daughter of Berengar I, Graf von Sulzbach, and Adelheid von Diessen. Their son Godfried III would have progeny.

Godfried II's father had made him co-ruler in 1136 and he carried the ducal title from that date, a dignity which was confirmed by Konrad III von Schwaben, king of The Romans, Herzog von Franken, who was married to Godfried's sister-in-law Gertrud von Sulzbach.

Godfried's father had held the duchy of Lower-Lorraine for several years, but it had been withdrawn from him by Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg in favour of Walram III Paganus I, Graf von Limburg. Godfried's father and Walram died a few months apart in 1139. The emperor then gave Lower-Lorraine to Godfried, but Walram's son Heinrich II, duke of Limburg, Graf von Arlon, claimed the duchy. Godfried reacted immediately and quickly defeated Heinrich.

Godfried died two years later on 11 June 1142 of liver disease. He was buried in the church of Saint-Pierre Louvain.
