• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  Diederik II van Lotharingen (ca. 1050 - 30 december 1115) was de oudste zoon van hertog Gerard van Lotharingen en Hedwig van Namen.
  
  Diederik werd graaf van de Elzas en van Bouzonville, alsook voogd van de abdij van Remiremont en vanaf 1070 hertog van Opper-Lotharingen. Dit leidde tot een conflict met zijn jongere broer Gerard die zich achteruit gesteld voelde. In 1073 werd een schikking getroffen en kreeg Gerard een eigen deelgebied, het graafschap Vaudemont.
  
  In 1075 vocht Diederik aan de kant van Hendrik IV bij Homburg (bij Erfurt) tegen de opstandige Saksen, die daar werden verslagen. Kort na de veldslag trouwde Diederik met Hedwig van Formbach, die weduwe was geworden omdat haar man Gebhard van Supplinburg net in die slag aan de Saksische kant was gesneuveld. Diederik bleef een trouwe aanhanger van Hendrik en veroverde in 1078 voor hem de stad Metz op de bisschop. Als straf hiervoor werd hij in 1079 in de ban gedaan en in 1082 gaf Diederik de stad weer op.

  Theodoric II (d. 30 December 1115), called the Valiant, was the duke of Lorraine from 1070 to his death. He was the son and successor of Gerhard and Hedwige of Namur. He is sometimes numbered Theodoric I if the dukes of the House of Ardennes, who ruled in Upper Lorraine from 959 to 1033, are ignored in favour of the dukes of Lower Lorraine as predecessors of the later dukes of Lorraine.
  
  In fact, Sophia, the daughter of Duke Frederick II of the House of Ardennes, who had inherited the counties of Bar and Montbéliard, had a husband named Louis, who contested the succession. In order to receive the support of his brother, he gave him the county of Vaudémont and convened an assembly of nobles, who elected him duke over Louis. Soon Louis was dead, but his son, Theodoric II of Bar, claimed the succession anyway. However, Emperor Henry IV confirmed Theodoric the Valiant in the duchy. Probably for this reason, Theodoric remained faithful to the emperors throughout his rule. He fought the Saxons while they were at war with the Emperor between 1070 and 1078 and he opposed the popes Gregory VII and Urban II when they were in conflict with the Emperor.
  
  In 1095, he planned to take up the Cross (i.e., go on Crusade, specifically the First), but his ill health provoked him to drop out, nevertheless convincing his barons to go east. Thereafter, he took little part in imperial affairs, preferring not to intervene between Henry IV and his son Henry, or against Lothair of Supplinburg, duke of Saxony.
  Family and children
  
  His first wife was Hedwige (died 1085 or 1090), daughter of Frederick, count of Formbach. They married around 1075. His second wife was Gertrude (1080–1117), daughter of Robert I of Flanders and Gertrude of Saxony
