    Notes:

    Excerpt from Wikipedia:

    He succeeded his father in Limburg with the title of duke, but Conrad III refused grant him Lower Lorraine. He continued to style himself as duke nevertheless.

    Henry refused at first to accept the loss of Lorraine and attacked the new duke, Godfrey VII. He was defeated. Godfrey died in 1142, but Henry was occupied with a war against the lord of Fauquemont and did not assert any claim to the cudhy of Lower Lorraine.

    In 1147, he inherited Arlon, his younger brother Waleran having died without children. Conrad confirmed this, for he had promised Henry a fief to compensate for the loss of Lorraine, and the duke and the king were reconciled. Henry did not take part in the Second Crusade that year, however, Henry attended the coronation of Conrad's successor, Frederick Barbarossa.

    At that time, Henry was involved in a war with Henry IV of Luxembourg. The town of Andenne was taken and completely plumdered and burned. Then Henry turned to Godfrey VIII, but they soon made peace in 1155.

    Henry took part in Barbarossa's Italian campaigns, dying during the epidemic of 1167 at Rome.

    Notes:

    Excerpt from Wikipedia:

    In 1172, he fought against the count of Luxembourg, Henry IV the Blind, and his ally, the count of Hainault, Baldwin V. The environs of Arlon were devastated and the duke, overcome, had to recompense the count of Luxembourg for the wrongs he had done him. In 1183, he supported the election of Fulmar as archbishop of Trier. This was opposed by the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

    Henry had to fight his nephew, Henry I of Brabant in connection with the advocacy fo the abbey of Saint-Trond. The Brabantine duke claimed the advocacy as part of his mother's dowry. An arrangement put an end to the war in 1191 and the duke of Limburg became a vassal of the duke of Brabant. The two dukes collaborated in the internal affairs of the region.

    Henry later supported Otto of Brunswick over Philip of Swabia as German king and imperial claimant. He fought at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214.

    Notes:

    Excerpt from Wikipedia:

    Was the count of Luxembourg from 1247 to his death and the count of Namur between 1256 and 1264 as Henry III. He was the son and successor of Waleran III Of Limburg and Ermesinda of Luxembourg.

    He married Margaret, daughter of Henry II, Count of Bar, who brought him Ligny-en-Barrois as her dowry, though, by a clause in the marriage contract, it remained under the feudal suzerainty of the county of Bar. In contempt of this, Henry paid homage in 1256 to Theobald II of Navarre, in his capacity as Count of Champagne. Henry's brother-in-law, Theobald II of Bar, took advantage of the conflict then raging between Frederick III of Lorraine and the bishops of Metz. Henry V was a partisan of the duke and so Theobald took the side of the bishop. Henry was captured in battle at Preny on 14 Sep 1266. On 8 Sept 1268, King Louis IX arbitrated between the two counts and Henry was freed and repossessed of Ligny, but under the suzerainty of the Barrois.

    In 1256 Henry seized Namur while the reigning Margrave, Baldwin II, was also reigning emperor in Constantinople, Baldwin relinquished his rights to Namur to Guy of Dampierre, Count of Flanders, who retook the margraviate from Henry. The two parties made peace and Guy married Henry's daughter.
