FOLMAR [VII] de Metz, son of FOLMAR [VI] Comte de Metz & his wife Suanehilde --- (-25 Jun 1111, bur Lixheim). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf von Metz, Huneburg et Lunéville. He founded Lixheim in 1107.
m ---. The name of Folmar's wife is not known.
Graf Folmar [VII] & his wife had three children:
1. FOLMAR [VIII] (-1145, bur Beaupré). Graf von Metz et de Homburg. “Folmaro comite eiusdem loci advocato, Gomaro subadvocato...” subscribed the charter dated 1121 under which Etienne Bishop of Metz confirmed the property of Longueville abbey[946]. "…Comes Folmarus, Hugonellus heres et filius meus" subscribed the charter dated 1128 under which "Comes Rainaldus" restored property at Maidières to Liège Saint-Lambert on the advice of "fratris nostri Stephani Metensi episcopi"[947]. He founded the abbey of Beaupré in 1135. A charter dated 1157 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Beaupré “III Kal Mar” 1135 by “Folmarus comes Metensis...conjux eius femina felicis memoriæ comitissa Mathildis sed et filii eorum Folmarus et Hugo necnon et filiæ Clementia, Agnes et Adeleidis”[948]. m MECHTILD [de Dagsburg, daughter of ALBERT [I] [de Moha] Graf von Egisheim und Dagsburg & his second wife Ermensende de Luxembourg] (-[1135/57]). The subscription by "Hugonis filii Folmari comitis…" of the charter dated to [1124] under which "Ermensendis comitissa Namucensis" confirmed the prior donation of property to the church of Verdun Sainte-Vanne by "senioris mei comitis Alberti"[949] is explained by Hugo being the grantor's grandson. If that is correct, the subscriber’s mother would have been the daughter of Albert [II], by his second wife. A charter dated 1157 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Beaupré “III Kal Mar” 1135 by “Folmarus comes Metensis...conjux eius femina felicis memoriæ comitissa Mathildis sed et filii eorum Folmarus et Hugo necnon et filiæ Clementia, Agnes et Adeleidis”[950]. “Folmarus comes de Castello et comitissa Mathildis mater uxoris meæ” founded Beaupré, recorded in a charter dated 1161[951].
