  Research Notes:

His parentage is indicated by the charter dated 943 which refers to "Gozlines…miles…ex nobilissimis regni Chlotarii ducens prosapia" (the wording implying that he was then deceased) and the donation by "uxor eius Uda et filius eius…Regingerus" to St Maximin at Trier of property "Hunzelinesdorph", subscribed by "Ogonis abbatis, Friderici, Gisilberti, Sigeberti fratrum predicti Gozlini". As Frederic is known to have been the brother of Adalbero [I] Bishop of Metz, whose parents are known..., it is assumed that all five individuals were sons of Wigerich [III] and Cunegonde (although it is also possible that some or all of them were uterine brothers born from the second marriage of Cunegonde). His birth date is estimated from his wife having given birth to four children before he died. He received the villa of Varangéville from his supposed brother Adalbéron and subscribed one of the latter's charters dated 15 Mar 942.

The necrology of the church of Reims records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "Godefridus comes pater Adalberonis archiepiscopi”. ¹
