  === Life Sketch ===
  Life Sketch in English follows after the German.
  
  Friedrich von Bitsch war Herr von Bitsch, Gerbéviller und Ormes, proklamierte sich nach dem Tod seines Bruders Simon II. 1206 zum Herzog von Lothringen und wird in den Regentenlisten (fälschlich) als Friedrich I. geführt. Er war der zweite Sohn von Matthäus I., Herzog von Lothringen (Haus Châtenois), und Judith von Staufen (1123–1195), der Schwester Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossas, die auch Bertha von Schwaben hieß. In frankophonen Ländern wurde er Ferry genannt.
  
  Bereits 1155 ist er Herr von Bitsch. Beim Tod seines Vaters 1176 beanspruchte er mit Unterstützung seiner Mutter die Nachfolge im Herzogtum gegen seinen älteren Bruder Simon II. Simon musste daher eine Adelsversammlung einberufen, die ihn in seinen Rechten bestätigte, die ihn aber auch zwang, auf einige Privilegien zu verzichten. Insbesondere wurden die États de Lorraine geschaffen, die die Rolle eines Parlaments des Herzogtums übernahmen. Friedrich revoltierte gegen die Entscheidung, der Krieg dauerte drei Jahre und endete mit einem im Mai 1179 in Ribemont geschlossenen Friedensvertrag, mit dem faktisch Lothringen geteilt wurde: Simon erhielt den frankophonen Süden, Friedrich den deutschsprachigen Norden und zudem die Herrschaften Gerbéviller und Ormes bei Nancy.
  
  Friedrichs gute Beziehungen zu seinen staufischen Verwandten Heinrich VI. und Philipp von Schwaben verschafften ihm deren Erlaubnis, den Titel eines Herzogs zu führen, so dass er 1196 als Herzog von Bitsch auftritt.
  
  Als Simon II. 1206 ohne Nachkommen starb, nachdem er seinen Neffen Friedrich II., Friedrichs Sohn, als Nachfolger eingesetzt hatte, akzeptierte er auch dies nicht und proklamierte sich zum Herzog von Lothringen. Er selbst starb etwa zwölf Monate später. Friedrich von Bitsch wurde in der Abtei Stürzelbronn bestattet.
  
  Er heiratete um 1160 Ludmilla von Polen († 1223), Tochter von Mieszko III., Herzog von Großpolen und Seniorherzog von Polen aus dem Haus der Piasten und Sohn der Salome von Berg, einer Verwandten der Staufer;
  
  Frederick I (French: Ferry or Ferri) (c. 1143 – 7 April 1206) was the duke of Lorraine from 1205 to his death. He was the second son of Matthias I and Judith, daughter of Frederick II, Duke of Swabia. He succeeded his brother, Simon II, who had already given him the county of Bitche in 1176 and had recognised him over the northern, germanophone half of Lorraine by the Treaty of Ribemont of 1179. Judith had wanted him to succeed to all their father's inheritance, but a three-year civil war only secured him Bitche and a half-portion.
  
  Simon abdicated to a monastery in 1205, recognising Frederick's son Frederick as heir. Frederick inherited it all nevertheless, but died a year later and it went to his son by Wierzchoslawa Ludmilla (1150–1223),[1] daughter of Mieszko III the Old, duke of Greater Poland and high duke of all Poland. Their children were:
  
  Frederick, his successor in Lorraine
  Thierry the Devil (le Diable), lord of Autigny, married Gertrude de Montmorency, daughter of Mathieu II le Grand, Constable of France.
  Henry the Lombard, who built the castle of Bayon
  Philip (died 1243), lord of Gerbéviller
  Matthias (1170–1217), bishop of Toul
  Agatha (died 1242), abbess of Remiremont
  Judith, married Henry II, Count of Salm
  Hediwge (died 1228), married Henry I, Count of Zweibrücken
  Cunigunda, married Waleran III of Limburg

He challenged the succession of his brother in 1176, the ensuing war being settled in [May] 1179 when Ferry was granted Gerbéviller and Ormes[149]. “Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” donated property to Bouxières-aux-Dames, at the request of “matris meæ dominæ Berthæ filiæ Friderici imperatoris et fratrum meorum Theoderici electi Metensi episcopi, Frederici et Mathæi ac sororis meæ Alidis ducissæ Burgundiæ”, for the soul of “patris mei domini Mathæi”, by charter dated 1176[150]. “Bertha…Lotharingorum ducissa…et filii mei Theodericus, Simon Dux et Marchio, Fredericus, et junior eorum Matthæus, soror quoque ipsorum Aleidis Ducissa Burgundiæ” donated property to Mont Saint-Trinité, for the soul of "viri mei nobilis ducis Matthæi", by charter dated to [1177][151]. A charter dated 1179 records the peace agreement brokered by “Philippus Flandriæ et Viromand. comes” between “Simonem ducem Lotharingiæ cognatum meum” and “Fredericus fratrem suum”, the latter being granted “allodium de Ulmis...et castrum allodii de Gillebertivillario...et feudum comitis Seyberti et curiam de Chanceio...” by his brother[152]. “Henricus...Barrensis comes”, on leaving on crusade, granted privileges to the abbey of Sainte-Marie-aux-Bois relating to “curia...de Blanxiis” by charter dated 1180, witnessed by “Simon dux Lotharingiæ, Fidericus de Bites, Fridericus filius eius...”[153].

It is unclear whether this charter was finalised on the date specified, after the duke’s death, whether the document is misdated, or whether the duke’s date of death shown above was in fact O.S.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Virgotslavia" as one of the sisters of "duces Guenesie Odoiscius…Logeslaus", specifying that she was mother of "ducis de Nanceio"[160]. This marriage was arranged by Ferry's maternal uncle Emperor Friedrich " Barbarossa" during his visit to Poland in 1167. She returned to Poland after her husband died[161].
