Marriages and issue
Godfrey married twice.
He first married in 1087 Sibylle, a daughter of Count Roger of Château-Porcien and his wife Ermengarde. Together, they had two daughters:
Elisabeth (fl. 1141), married Gervais, Count of Rethel and later Clarembaud de Roscy;
Flandrine, married Hugh of Épinoy.
Sibylle and Godfrey divorced in 1105 because of her pregnancy by her lover Enguerrand I, Lord of Coucy.
In 1109, Godfrey married Ermesinde (d. 24 June 1143), the daughter of Count Conrad I of Luxembourg and his wife Clementia. She was the widow of Count Albert I of Egisheim-Dagsburg and Moha. Together, they had the following children:
Albert who died young (died about 1127)[2]
Henry the Blind (d. 14 August 1196).[2] He was Count of Luxembourg from 1136 until his death, and Count of Namur, Laroche, Durbuy and Longwy from 1139 to 1189. He was also advocatus of St. Maximin Abbey in Trier and St. Willibrord Abbey in Echternach. He married:
