Gothelo II of Lower Lorraine
- Gothelo II of Lower Lorraine
Gothelo II, also Gozelo (1008 – 1046), variously called "the Coward", "the Sluggard", "the Indolent", or "the Lazy" (Latin "ignavus"), has been often said to be duke of Lower Lorraine after the death of his father Gothelo I, duke of both Lower and Upper Lorraine (1044) until his own death in 1046.
After the elder Gothelo's death, Godfrey, the eldest son, who had been co-ruling in Lower Lorraine for several years already, was not given Lower Lorraine by the Emperor Henry III, Godfrey rebelled, but Henry didn't budge who first threatened to give it the second son Gothelo (not known for his courage or even incompetent or mentally deficient). In 1045, shortly after that Godfrey was imprisoned, Henry appointed Frederick of Luxembourg to succeed in Lower Lorraine.
Gothelo's date of death has been disputed. The homonymy between father and son and the imprecision of the documents (including the fact that not all mention him) have made his role in the duchy of Lower Lorraine very debatable.
