https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis,_Count_of_Verdun
Louis I (murdered September 29, 1025), Count of Chiny (987-1025) and Count of 
Verdun (as Louis) (1024-1025), son of Otto I, Count of Chiny, and an unknown 
mother.[1][2]

Upon Otto’s death, Louis became the second Count of Chiny. Virtually nothing is 
known about his rule in Chiny.

In 1024, Reginbert, the Bishop of Verdun, appointed Louis as Count of Verdun when 
Count Herman of Ename, son of Godfrey the Prisoner, retired to a monastery. Herman's 
nephew, Godfrey the Bearded, coveted the position, and Gothelo (Herman’s brother 
and Godfrey’s father) invaded the city and murdered Louis.

Louis married Adelaide (d. after 1025), of unknown parentage.[3] They had two 
children:
Louis II, Count of Chiny
Liutgarde[4] (1002- ), married to Richer de Sancy (d. before 1084). Luitgarde and 
Richer had four sons: Hughes (d. after 1109), Louis (d. after 1084), Roderic (d. after 
1109) and Richwin (killed before 1084). Nothing further is known about them.

Louis’ son Louis II assumed the position of Count of Chiny after his father’s death, and 
Godfrey the Bearded was appointed Count of Verdun.
