Zitat aus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gozelo_I,_Count_of_Montaigu (Sep 2023)

Count Gozelon (died 1064), was an 11th century count who held the forts Behogne at Rochefort, and Montaigu at Marcourt, which are both in the Ardennes in modern Belgium.[1] He was also advocatus of the abbey of Saint-Barthélémy, Liège, beginning in 1043. Gozelon is the earliest known member of the family of Counts of Montaigu that eventually also became Counts of Duras, by marriage to an heiress. He is of unknown parentage.

The name Gozelon implies a family connection with the House of Verdun, who had several men with this name and a strong presence in the same Ardennes region. Gozlin, Count of the Ardennes, for example, had a grandson Gozelon, Count of Bastogne, the successor to his father Reginar. Another one of Gozlin's grandsons (the son of Godfrey the Captive), was also known as Gozelo, but there is no direct evidence for a relationship.

In 1038, in an act witnessed by Gozelon, Gothelo the Great (Duke of Lorraine), Arnold I of Looz, an unknown count named Sigebold, and the Archbishop of Trier Poppo von Babenberg, restored the monastery of St. Matheus of Trier.

Titel (genauer):
The Counts of Montaigu were 12th century nobles of Lower Lotharingia who were closely associated with the Counts of Duras and Clermont. This particular place called Montaigu (Mons Acutus, pointy mountain) was a castle located on the river Ourthe, opposite Marcourt near La Roche in the Ardennes. The castle of Montaigu has been mostly destroyed, but a chapel dedicated to Saint Thibaut still exists upon the mountain on which it was built.
The Counts of Montaigu were also lords of Rochefort. Rochefort is a municipality in Namur, and these holdings passed by inheritance to the Walcourt family, who married into the family of the Counts of Chiny, particularly Louis III.

Titel (genauer):
Rochefort verdankt seinen Namen einer Befestigung (rocha fortis, übersetzt etwa Felsenburg), die von den ersten Herren Rocheforts, der Familie Montaigu, auf einem Felssporn erbaut worden war. Burg und der Ort waren Mittelpunkt einer Seigneurie, die 1494 vom römisch-deutschen König Maximilian I. zu einer Grafschaft erhoben wurde (siehe Grafschaft Rochefort (Famenne)). Diese war ab 1544 im Besitz der Familie zu Stolberg, ehe sie 1574 an das Geschlecht derer von Löwenstein-Wertheim kam.

Militär / Gefecht:
Der Erste Kreuzzug war ein christlicher Kriegszug zur Eroberung Palästinas, zu dem Papst Urban II. im Jahre 1095 aufgerufen hatte. Das ursprüngliche Ziel war die Unterstützung des Byzantinischen Reiches gegen Seldschuken. Der Kreuzzug begann 1096 zum einen als bewaffnete Pilgerfahrt von Laien, zum anderen als Zug mehrerer Ritterheere aus Frankreich, Deutschland und Italien. Er endete 1099 mit der Einnahme Jerusalems durch ein Kreuzritterheer.
