BIOGRAPHY
Thierry was born about 1100, the son of Thierry II, duke of Lorraine, and his second wife Gertrud of Flanders, daughter of Robert I 'the Friesian', count of Flanders. Thierry's mother was the sister of Adele of Flanders, mother of Charles 'the Good', count of Flanders. When Charles was murdered without progeny on 2 March 1127, Thierry contested the county of Flanders with his cousin William Clito (Guillaume Cliton), son of Robert II Curthose, duke of Normandy. William's grandmother Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, was the sister of Robert 'the Friesian'.

The murder of Charles by the Erlembaldi family, hereditary castellans of Brugge with a network of marriage relationships with many Flemish nobles, who felt threatened by Charles' plans to weaken the family's position, created a power vacuum, and civil war broke out. Thierry was recognised by Ghent, Brugge and Ypres, and consolidated his position when William Clito was killed at Alost on 27 July 1128.

Thierry proved himself a wise and prudent ruler, encouraging the growth of popular liberty and commerce. By his first wife Swanhilde or Suanhilde he had two children of whom his daughter Lauretta would have progeny. In 1134 he married Sibylla d'Anjou, daughter of Foulques V 'the Young', comte d'Anjou et Maine, king of Jerusalem, and his first wife Eremburge, comtesse de Maine. Sybilla had been married to William Clito in 1123, but this marriage was annulled in 1124. Thierry and Sybilla had six children of whom three sons and a daughter would have progeny.

Thierry is recorded as visiting the Holy Land four times. His first was a pilgrimage. Then in 1139 he joined his father-in-law Foulques V of Anjou, now king of Jerusalem, in an invasion of Gilead in Jordan. In 1146 he took part in the Second Crusade and distinguished himself by his exploits. He is recorded at the coastal city of Attalia (now in Turkey) in March 1148, from where he probably joined Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine to Antioch. He is recorded next at the assembly of Foulques' son Baudouin III d'Anjou, king of Jerusalem, at Acre on 24 June 1148. In 1157 he resigned the countship of Flanders to his son Philippe. He then made his fourth visit, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In company with Amalric I d'Anjou, who succeeded his older brother Baudouin III as king of Jerusalem, Thierry visited Tripoli and Antioch in 1164. On his return from the Holy Land, Thierry retired to a monastery. He died on 17 January 1168.
