Godfried I van Verdun, bijgenaamd de Gevangene, (ca. 930- 3/4 september 1002), was graaf van Verdun en had een belangrijke militaire en bestuurlijke rol in Neder-Lotharingen. Hij kreeg zijn bijnaam omdat hij tweemaal gedurende een langere tijd gevangene was door conflicten tussen Oost-Frankische Rijk en West-Francië. Godfried werd in 963 graaf van Verdun en in 969 ook markgraaf van Ename en markgraaf van Antwerpen. In zijn eerste jaren hield hij zich vooral bezig met strijd tegen Reinier IV van Henegouwen en Lambert I van Leuven, die met Franse steun probeerden het erfdeel van hun vader te herwinnen. In 974 werd hij ook benoemd tot graaf van Henegouwen, Bergen, en Valencijn. Hij werd voogd van Saint-Hubert (now Belgium) en Mousson. [1]

Godfried I van Verdun, nicknamed de Gevangene (the Prisoner, or Captive), (ca. 930 - 3/4 September 1002), was count of Verdun and had an important military and administrative role in Lower Lorraine. He got his nickname because he was prisoner twice for a long time because of conflicts between East Frankish Empire and West Francia. Godfried became Count of Verdun in 963 and in 969 also Margrave of Ename and Marquis of Antwerp. In his first years he was mainly occupied with the fight against Reinier IV van Henegouwen and Lambert I van Leuven, who tried to regain the inheritance of their father with French support. In 974 he was also appointed count of Hainaut, Mons, and Valenciennes. He became advocate of Saint-Hubert (now Belgium) and Valenciennes. [1]

I think the list of children needs trimming?

Secondary sources suggest that Geberge De Verdun <wiki #Verdun-80> was another child of Godfried and Mathilde.

Regilla and Reginlind presumably meant to be the same speculated daughter mentioned on MEDLANDS. Bonne Adelaide looks very dubious?

He is very commonly referred to as the Captive, and such names are handy in this families because their exact titles are often not 100% clear
