=== Life Sketch ===
Duke Godfroi V had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):
6. JOSCELIN de Louvain (-1180). His parentage is confirmed by a manuscript genealogy of the Percy family which names “Matildem et Agnetem” as the daughters and heiresses of “Willielmus de Percy”, adding that Agnes married “Goselino Lovayn fratri Ducis Brabantiæ”[137]. It appears likely that he was illegitimate. If it is correct that he married after 1154, he would have been rather old at that date to have been born from Duke Godefroi’s first marriage. On the other hand, Duke Godefroi’s second wife was probably too old to have given birth to children after her marriage with the duke. Joscelin accompanied his half-sister Adelisa to England when she married King Henry I in 1121. He received the honour of Petworth, Sussex from Queen Adelisa before 1151.
