He is married to Heilwig van Egisheim.
They got married
Child(ren):
GERARD de Lorraine, son of GERARD Duke of Upper Lorraine & his wife Hadwide de Namur (-1108, bur Belval). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" as son of "Gerardus de Alsatia dux Mosellanorum"[347]. He opposed his brother's sole succession in 1071, waged war for two years, the dispute being settled when his brother ceded him the Saintois and other territories, which became the county of Vaudémont, 14 Apr 1073. Comte de Vaudémont. He constructed the fortresses of Deuilly and Châtel-sur-Moselle[348]. The Codex de l’Angelica records “Haduydis ducissa” donating a serf to Remiremont, with the consent of “filiis suis duce Theoderico atque comite Girardo”, undated[349]. [The Codex de l’Angelica records that “Gerardus comes et Alberada comitissa” donated a serf to Remiremont, undated[350].] Pibo Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the monastery of Toul Saint-Léon and named "dux Theodericus et Simon puer eius filius, et frater ducis Gerardus comes et Renardus comes Tillensis" by charter dated 10 Oct 1091[351]. He founded the Priory of Belval 1097. Vogt of Lure.
[m firstly ALBERADE, daughter of --- (-12 Aug ----). The Codex de l’Angelica records that “Gerardus comes et Alberada comitissa” donated a serf to Remiremont, undated[352]. One possibility is that the donor was Gérard Comte de Vaudémont (whose mother donated property to Remiremont), with an earlier otherwise unrecorded first wife. Another possibility is that the donor was Gerhard [I] Graf von Egisheim (the great-great uncle of the known wife of Gérard Comte de Vaudémont, see the document ALSACE), who is not otherwise recorded as having married, assuming that the donation was dated to the 1030s. An indication of her origin is provided by the same source which records that “Alberada comitissa” donated serfs to Remiremont, for the souls of “suorum antecessorum que venerunt de Castencium [Chatenois] et manserunt in potestate que dicitur Ulmis [Ormes]”, undated[353].]
m [secondly] ([1080]) HEILWIG von Egisheim, daughter of GERHARD [II] Graf von Egisheim & his wife Richarda --- (-29 Jan before 1126, bur Belval). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" as "filiam comitis de Daburc, neptem sancti Leonis papa" but does not name her or her father[354]. “Helwigis comitissa filia comitis Gerhardi de castro Egensheim...et Hugone filio suo majore eius advocato ceterisque filiis ipsius” donated “Berhtam” to Strasbourg by charter dated 1118, witnessed by “filiis ambobus laycis Hugone maiore et minore Udalrico...Sigefridus advocatus et Heinrich et Diebolth vicedominus”[355].
