Biography
Godfrey I of Louvain founded Afflighem abbey by charter dated 1086 which also records the donation of property "juxta in villa…Asca" made by "fraterque meus Godefridus". He succeeded his brother in 1095 as Count of Leuven. He was in conflict with Richer Bishop of Liège over the county of Brugeron in 1095/96. He hoped to succeed his relative Godfried of Bouillon as duke of Lower Lotharingia, however Henry IV awarded this title to Henrik of Limburg. After Henry V deposed his father he appointed Godfried duke in 1106, although the counts of Limburg didn't relinquish their claim. After Lothar I succeeded Henry V Godfried lost his title again, althought he in turn kept using it, perhaps in support of Anti-king Conrad of Hohenstaufen. After Conrad was elected king, Godfried regained his title. He died on january 25, 1139 [1]

He founded Afflighem abbey by charter dated 1086 which also records the donation of property "juxta in villa…Asca" made by "fraterque meus Godefridus". He succeeded his brother in 1095 as Comte de Louvain. He was in conflict with Richer Bishop of Liège over the county of Brugeron in 1095/96. Markgraaf van Antwerpen 1105. Heinrich V King of Germany invested him as GODEFROI V "le Barbu" Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1106. The Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis records that “Godefridus cum barba Dux Lotharingiæ, Comes Lovaniensis et Bruxellensis Marchio sacri Regni” founded Afflighem Abbey where he was buried. Vogt of Afflighem 1107. The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium records the abdication in 1128 of "Godefridum Lovaniensem comitem de ducatu Lotharingie" and his substitution by "Waleramnum comitem Lemburgie". Vogt of Gembloux and Nivelles 1129. "Ducem Godefridum seniorem eiusque filium… Godefridum iuniorem" donated property "in parochia Braniensi…Dudinsart" to Gembloux by charter dated 1131, witnessed by "Godefridus comes Namucensis eiusque filius Henricus, Henricus minor filius ipsius ducis, Wilhelmus advocatus de Namuco eiusque frater Anselmus…".

I cant seem to find any connection with Godefroi de Louvain to the Crusades. It appears he is being confused with Godfrey of Bouillon who was born in the same year and became the ruler of the kingdom of Jerusalem. Godefroi de Louvain was buried at Affligem Abbey in either 1139/40.

Shouldn’t the name in parentheses be “Godfrey” rather than “Geoffrey”?
