35. [LORR311] Adalbert II (born c.970, son of [LNGW301] Count Richard [or perhaps his brother Gerard] of Metz, see LONGWY COUNTY), Count of Metz, Count of Saargau, married (c.1000) [SWA2292] Judith von Ohningen (widow of --- von Rheinfelden, and daughter of DUKE CONRAD, see SWABIA DUKEDOM).

34. [LORR321] Gerhard I, Constable of Remiremont, Count of Metz (1033-45), married Gisela of disputed origin, said to be "a granddaughter of Charles, brother of the King".

Gisela could have been either [MOSE332] Gisela (daughter of THIERRY I, DUKE OF UPPER LORRAINE, see LORRAINE (HOUSE OF MOSELLE) DUKEDOM, or else [NORG312] Gisela of Lower Lorraine (daughter of Count Hugo III, see NORDGAU COUNTY).

27-30. [LORR342] Thierry II (son of Gerhard & Hedwige) married 1. (1080) Hedwig von Formbach (widow of Gerhard von Supplingenburg); then 2. (at Han-dur-Lesse, August 1095) [FLAN352] Gertrude (daughter of Count Robert I, see FLANDERS COUNTY). He was 4th DUKE OF LORRAINE (1070-1115), and died January 1115.
