Individual:
Han van der Voort writes: Albert's uncle, Duke Godefroid III of Lower-Lorraine, who had no children, had appointed Godefroid of Bouillon, his sister Ida's son, as his heir. When Duke Godefroid was murdered in 1076, Albert III disputed his cousin's succession, himself being a grandson of Gozelon I The Great , Duke of Lorraine, as well as a great-grandson of Duke Gozelon's sister Bonne of Ardennes, the wife of Charles The Fat , Duke of Lower-Lorraine. Albert's attempt was eventually unsuccessful. Initially, neither contender won, because he German King Heinrich IV appointed his own two year-old son Conrad as the new Duke, clearly demonstrating that Lower-Lorraine had lost its significance as a political entity. Eleven years later, in 1087, Godefroid finally did become Duke of Lower-Lorraine, after Conrad had been appointed King of Germany (Conrad VII) by his father Heinrich IV, who had himself been crowned as Emperor in 1084 by the rival Pope Clemens III (Clemens had just been made Pope by Heinrich himself, as the replacement for Heinrich's arch-enemy Pope Gregorius VII.)
