Ermesinde of Luxembourg, Countess of Namur

  General Notes:

She was a daughter of Count Conrad I of Luxembourg and his wife Clementia of Aquitaine. After the death of her nephew Conrad II in 1136, there were no surviving males in the House of Ardennes-Verdun and she inherited the counties of Luxembourg and Longwy. However, she immediately abdicated in favour of her son Henry IV and never actually ruled.

She is primarily known because she made a number of donations to churches and monasteries. Towards the end of her life, she retired to a monastery.

Ermesinde married Albert of Moha, Count of Dagsburg, Eguisheim, Metz and Moha, and vogt of Altorf in 1096. (Albert of Moha, Count of Dagsburg, Eguisheim, Metz and Moha, and vogt of Altorf was born about 1065 and died on 24 Aug 1098.)

Ermesinde next married Godfrey de Namur I, Count of Namur, son of Albert de Namur III, Count of Namur and Ida de Sachsen, in 1109. (Godfrey de Namur I, Count of Namur was born before 1080 and died on 19 Aug 1139.)
