LAMBERT [Baldric] de Louvain, son of LAMBERT [I] "le Barbu" Comte de Louvain & his wife Gerberge of Lower Lotharingia [Carolingian] (-after 21 Sep 1062, bur Nivelles). The Vita Sanctæ Gudilæ records that "Lambertus…comes" succeeded his brother Henri[52]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Henricum seniorem de Bursella" was father of "Lambertum comitem et Henricum fratrem eius et Mathildem sororem eorum", but this appears to be a confused representation of the situation[53]. He succeeded his brother in 1038 as LAMBERT [II] Comte de Louvain, after depriving his nephew of his rights: the Chronicon Sigeberti records the death in 1038 of "Henricus Lovaniensis Comes" and the succession of "filius eius Otho" who was deprived by "patruus eius Baldricus qui et Lambertus"[54]. The Chronicon Brabanti also refers to the two names of Lambert when recording the death of "Lambertus II qui et Baldricus dictus Cum-Barba"[55], although it is unclear how reliable this is as "cum-barba" is the nickname applied in other sources to Comte Lambert [I]. If Lambert [II] was in fact also called Baldric, it suggests a relationship (which has not been identified) with the early Graafen van Betuwe (see the document HOLLAND) and Comtes de Looz (see LOWER LOTHARINGIAN NOBILITY), in which three bishops of Liège named Baldric belonged. "Baldricus…cum uxore mea Oda" founded the collegial church in Brussels by charter dated 1047[56]. The Vita Balderici refers to "comes Lowaniensis Lambertus vir profanæ mentis et moribus barbarus"[57], presumed to refer to Comte Lambert [II].

m UDA de Lotharingia, daughter of GOZELON I Duke of Lower Lotharingia & his wife --- (-23 Oct, after 1047). The Vita Sanctæ Gudilæ names "Oda…Gozelonis ducis filia" as wife of "Lambertus…comes" in a passage dated 1047[58]. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Godefridum ducem, Odam et Regelindam" as children of "Gozelo, frater Arnulphi et Godefridi"[59]. "Baldricus…cum uxore mea Oda" founded the collegial church in Brussels by charter dated 1047[60].

Comte Lambert [II] & his wife had [four] children:

1. HENRI de Louvain (-[1078/79], bur Nivelles) m ADELHEID, daughter of EBERHARD Graaf van Betuwe en Teisterbant & his wife --- (-after 1086).

Lambert II (d. Tournai, June 19, 1054) was count of Louvain between 1033 and 1054. Lambert was the son of Lambert I of Louvain (d. 1015).

According the Vita Gudilae (recordend between 1048-1051) he followed his brother Henry I of Louvain. Lambert scorned both temporal and spiritual authorities and in 1054 even took up arms against Holy Roman Emperor Henry III. He was defeated and lost his life at Tournai.

During his reign Brussels began its growth. Lambert arranged to transfer the remains of Saint Gudule to the St. Michael church. This church, thereafter known as Saints-Michel-et-Gudule, developed to become St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral. Lambert also constructed a fortress on the Coudenberg hill.

Since Lambert II died in 1054, an imperial charter of September 1062 connecting a certain Lambert to the county Brussels, is probably is refering to another person. This biographical article of a European noble is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

Lambert II, bijgenaamd Balderik[1] (992/995 - Doornik, 19 juni 1054), graaf van Leuven en van Brussel, was de tweede zoon van Lambert I (†1015) en Gerberga van Neder-Lotharingen (†1018).[2]

Leven
Afhankelijk van de bron volgde hij ofwel zijn broer Hendrik I op,[3] ofwel diens zoon Otto.[4] Hij wordt voor het eerst vermeld als graaf van Leuven op 3 januari 1041. Hij was ook graaf van Brussel en voogd over de abdij van Nijvel en de abdij van Gembloers. Op 16 november 1047 stichtte hij samen met zijn echtgenote Oda van Verdun het Sint-Goedelekapittel in de Sint-Michielskerk te Brussel, waarheen hij de relieken van de heilige Goedele van Brussel liet overbrengen.[5]
Hij sloot zich in 1051 aan bij de opstand van Boudewijn V van Vlaanderen tegen keizer Hendrik III.[6] In een treffen met het keizerlijk leger sneuvelde hij bij Doornik in 1054.[7]
Hij werd begraven in de abdijkerk van Nijvel, waar hij in het necrologium herdacht wordt op 19 juni. Hij werd opgevolgd door zijn zoon Hendrik II.

Huwelijk
Lambert en Oda van Neder-Lotharingen hadden onder anderen de volgende kinderen:

Hendrik II[8]
Adela van Brabant, (gehuwd met Otto van Orlamünde, markgraaf van Thuringen), werd lange tijd verkeerdelijk als dochter van Lambert II beschouwd.[9][10][11][12][13] Het 11e-eeuwse huwelijksrecht (met huwelijksverbod tot de 7e canonieke graad bloedverwantschap) staat namelijk in de weg om haar dochter, Adelheid van Orlamunde, te laten huwen met paltsgraaf Herman van Lotharingen, zoon van Mathilde van Verdun. Deze laatste is immers zus van Oda van Verdun, die huwde met Lambert II van Leuven. [14] Adela van Brabant is wellicht een dochter van Reinier, zoon van Lambert I van Leuven. Zij wordt immers ook vermeld als verwant aan de graven van Vlaanderen, waarvoor als ouders enkel de echtverbintenis van Reinier van Leuven met een dochter van Boudewijn IV van Vlaanderen nog in aanmerking komt.[15]
