BIOGRAPHY
Godfried was born about 1060, the son of Henri II, comte de Louvain, and Adela. Called 'the Bearded', 'the Courageous', or 'the Great', he was the landgrave of Brabant, and count of Brussels and Louvain (or Leuven) from 1095 to his death, and duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfried V or VI) from 1106 to 1129. He was also margrave of Antwerp from 1106 to his death.

Godfried succeeded his brother Henri III in 1095. He came first into conflict with Otbert, bishop of Liège, over the county of Brunengeruz they both claimed. In 1099 Emperor Heinrich IV allotted the county to the bishop, who entrusted it to Albert III, comte de Namur. Godfried arbitrated a dispute between Heinrich III, Graf von Luxemburg, and Arnold I, Graf von Looz, Burggraf von Mainz, over the appointment of the abbot of Sint-Truiden.

Godfried was in favour with the emperor and defended his interests in Lorraine. In 1102 he stopped Robert II, Graaf van Vlaanderen, who was invading the Cambraisis. After the death of the emperor in 1106, his son and successor Heinrich V, who had been in rebellion, decided to avenge himself on his father's partisans. Heinrich I, Graf von Limburg, duke of Lower Lorraine, was imprisoned and his duchy confiscated and given to Godfried. After Heinrich escaped from prison he tried to retake his duchy and captured Aachen, but ultimately failed.

About 1103 Godfried married Ida de Chiny, daughter of Otto II, comte de Chiny, and Adelheid (Alix) de Namur. Their son Godfried II and daughters Adeliza and Ida would have progeny. Godfried's wife Ida died about 1117/1121, and after 1121 he married Clementia de Bourgogne, widow of Robert II, Graaf van Vlaanderen, and daughter of Guillaume I, comte de Bourgogne, and his wife Stephanie. This marriage remained childless.

In 1114, during a rift between the emperor and Pope Paschal II, Godfried led a revolt in Germany. In 1118 the emperor and Godfried were reconciled. In 1119 Baudouin VII, Graaf van Vlaanderen, died heirless and Flanders was contested between several claimants, one of whom, William of Ypres, had married a niece of Godfried's second wife. Godfried supported William, but could not enforce his claim against that of Charles 'the Good'. Also dead in that year was Otbert. Two separate men were elected to replace him and Godfried again sided with the loser.

By marrying his daughter Adeliza to Henry I, king of England, who was also the father-in-law of the emperor, Godfried greatly increased his prestige. However, Emperor Heinrich V died in 1125 and Godfried supported Konrad III von Schwaben, Herzog von Franken, against Lothar von Supplinburg. After Lothar was elected, he withdrew the duchy of Lower Lorraine from Godfried and granted it to Walram III Paganus, the son of Heinrich I whom Emperor Heinrich V had deprived in 1106. Nonetheless, Godfried maintained the margraviate of Antwerp and retained the ducal title (which would in 1183 become Duke of Brabant).

After the assassination of Charles 'the Good', Graaf van Vlaanderen, in 1127, the Flemish succession was again in dispute. William Clito, the son of Robert Curthose, duke of Normandy, prevailed but his reign was soon dogged by revolts. Godfried intervened on behalf of Thierry d'Alsace, who prevailed against Clito and was count of Flanders until his death in 1168. Godfried continued to war against Liège and Namur.

Godfried spent his last years in the abbey of Afflighem. He died of old age on 25 January 1139 and was buried in the left aisle of the abbey church.
