He is married to Ermengarde de Clermont.
They got married
Child(ren):
FREDELON (-27 Aug [1083/85]). His son "Gislebertus comes de Aska" names "patris sui Fredelonis et matris suæ Ermengardis..." in his charter dated 1131, after 18 Mar, quoted below[1109]. Vogt of Malmedy: the Triumphus Sancti Remacli de Malmundariensi cœnobio records that Anno Archbishop of Köln, complaining of the lack of support of “Cuonradum comitem” [Comte de Luxembourg], granted “advocationem Malmundariensem” to “Fredeloni” who persecuted the monks of Stavelot[1110]. Vogt of Echternach: the Monumenta Epternacensia [dated to 1102/06] records the damage to the abbey instigated by Emperor Arnulf by, among others, “Frithelo advocatus” and describes in detail his excesses[1111]. In a charter dated 1083, “Godescalcus...decanus” [of Liège Saint-Paul] complained of damage inflicted “in allodio suo...Nandranth [Nandrin]” by “comes Gislebertus castelli Clarimontis ac eius particeps Fredelo”[1112]. The martyrology of Liège Saint-Paul records the death “VI Kal Sep” of “Fredelonis comitis” and his donation of “ecclesiam de Harmeli” [Hermalle], the commentary suggesting that the entry refers to “Fredeo tunc princeps castelli Clarimontis” [presumably referring to his wife’s inheritance][1113]. The absence of their father from the 1 Jun 1086 charter cited below under his sons Heinrich and Gottfried suggests that he was deceased at the time. m ([before 1055?]) ERMENGARDE, daughter of [WIDRICH [I] [Comte] de Clermont] & his wife --- (-after 1091). "Gislebertus comes de Aska" names "patris sui Fredelonis et matris suæ Ermengardis..." in his charter dated 1131, after 18 Mar, quoted below[1114]. Her marriage date is suggested by her son Heinrich being recorded with sons in his 1 Jun 1086 charter. This date confirms the impossibility that Ermengarde, wife of Fredelon von Esch, was the same person as Ermengarde, wife of Gozelon Comte de Montaigu, a possibility which had been suggested in an earlier version of the present document. The identity of her husband is suggested by the charter dated 1138 under which "Reinardus comitis de Ascha Gisleberti filius" renewed the right of the monks of Flône to take wood from his part of the forests "Clerimontis", granted previously by "pater eius et comes Lambertus"[1115]. "Comes Lambertus" in this document is identified as Lambert Comte de Montaigu. The father of "Reinardus comitis de Ascha Gisleberti filius" can be identified as "Gislebertus comes de Aska" who granted the right to take wood from his forests in "sus possessionis de Claromonte" to the monks of Flône, for the souls of "patris sui Fredelonis et matris suæ Ermengardis et uxoris sue Aelaidis et ipsius comitis Gisleberti", by charter dated 1131, after 18 Mar[1116]. The link between Ermengarde and the Clermont family is confirmed by the charter dated 1091 under which "Gislebertus comes Clarimontis et frater meus Herimannus atque uxor mea Leugardis" donated half of the church of Saint-Symphorien to Cluny, recording that “amitæ meæ Ermingardi comitissæ et filiis eius” later donated their part of the property “coram...piæ memoriæ Henrico episcopo” [Henri [de Toul] Bishop of Liège], by charter dated 1091[1117]. The 1 Jun 1086 charter cited below under her sons Heinrich and Gottfried show that their mother was alive when Heinrich made the donation which was confirmed in the document, but the absence of his father suggests that he was deceased at the time.
Fredelon & his wife had four children:
HEINRICH [I] von Esch (-Turbessel 1098 after 1 Aug, bur Turbessel).
GOTTFRIED von Esch (-after Feb 1098, maybe after 1138).
GISELBERT von Esch (-after 18 Mar 1131).
