- BIOGRAPHY
Thibaud was born about 1158, the son of Reinald II, comte de Bar et Mousson, and Agnès de Blois-Champagne. He was count of Bar from 1190 until his death, and count of Luxembourg from 1197 until his death. He accompanied his elder brother Henri I on the Third Crusade, and succeeded as count when Henri was killed at the Siege of Acre.
Thibaud married three times. About 1176 he married Laurette de Looz, dame de Longwy, previously wife of Egidius de Montaigu, and daughter of Ludwig I, Graf von Looz, Burggraf of Mainz, and Agnes von Metz. They had a daughter Agnes or Thomasina who would have progeny, marrying Frédéric II, duc de Lorraine. With his second wife Ermesinde de Bar, widow of Anseau de Trainel, and daughter of Guy II, comte de Bar-sur-Seine, and Pétronille-Elisabeth de Chacenay, he had three children of whom Henri and Marguerite would have progeny. They were divorced about 1195, and in 1197 Thibaud married Ermesinde de Namur, comtesse de Luxembourg, daughter of Henri, comte de Namur et Luxembourg, and Agnes van Gelre. Only their daughter Elisabeth would have progeny.
Thibaud died on 13 February 1214, and was succeeded as count by his eldest son Henri II. His lands in Luxembourg reverted to Walram IV, duke of Limburg, who married his widow Ermesinde in May that year.
