https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_I,_Duke_of_Lorraine
Matthias I (1119 – 13 May 1176) was the duke of Lorraine from 1138 to his death as 
the eldest son and successor of Simon I and Adelaide. Like his forefathers going back 
to Thierry II and even to Adalbert, he was a stern supporter of the king of Germany 
and Holy Roman Emperor. He married Judith (sometimes called Bertha), daughter of 
Frederick II, Duke of Swabia, and therefore niece of the Hohenstaufen king Conrad III 
and sister of Frederick Barbarossa, future emperor.

He accompanied Barbarossa on a number of important occasions, including his 
imperial coronation by Pope Adrian IV in Rome, 1155. He assisted the emperor in his 
wars against Adrian and his successor Alexander III and the kings of France and 
Sicily. He extended his own ducal demesne at the expense of the bishop of Toul, but 
was an important donor to the Church and founder of abbeys. He died in 1176 and 
was interred in his abbey of Clairlieu in Villers-lès-Nancy. By his Hohenstaufen 
marriage (1138), he had:
Simon (died 1205), his successor in Lorraine
Frederick (died 1206), count of Bitche and his nephew's successor
Judith (died 1173), married Stephen II, count of Auxonne (1170)
Alice (died 1200), married Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy
Theoderic (died 1181), bishop of Metz (1174–1179)
Matthias (died 1208), count of Toul
