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.
