Theobald I (French: Thibaut or Thibauld de Bar) (born c.?1158 – died 13 February 
1214) was the count of Bar from 1190 until his death, and a count of Luxemburg from 
1197 until his death.[1] He was the son of Reginald II of Bar and his wife Agnès de 
Champagne.[2] He became count when his brother, Henry, was killed in the Siege of 
Acre.[3]

After his third marriage, he sought to reclaim his wife's lands of Luxembourg, Durbuy 
and Laroche[disambiguation needed] with the approval of Philip of Swabia.[4] 
Theobold therefore besieged the castle at Namur, whereupon a conference was held 
in which Philip of Namur and his brother Baldwin renounced the disputed territories of 
Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche.[4] The Treaty of Dinant signed 6 July 1199 at Saint 
Medard, later made it official.[4]

During the Albigensian crusade, Theobald led an army to reinforce Simon de Montfort 
at the siege of Toulouse in June 1211.[1]

After his death in 1214, his eldest son Henry II, from his second marriage; succeeded 
him as count. His eldest daughter Agnes, from his first marriage, married Frederick II, 
Duke of Lorraine. His lands in Luxembourg reverted to Waleran III of Limburg, who 
married Theobald's widow Ermesinde of Namur.[5] Theobald was buried at St. Mihiel.

Petronille de Chacenay, circa 1189;[6] They had one son and two daughters.
