Duke of Lower Lorraine
(Redirected from Dukes of Lower Lorraine)
The Duchy of Lower Lorraine encompassed part of modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands. It was closely tied to the Duchy of Upper Lorraine and the County of Boulogne. It was a major participant in the First Crusade; Godfrey of Bouillon later became the first King of Jerusalem (although he actually took the title "Defender of the Holy Sepulchre").
