Gothelo I was the last duke to hold both Upper and Lower Lotharingia simultaneously — a unified rule the emperor broke apart upon Gothelo's death in 1044 by refusing to grant the combined inheritance to his son Godfrey. This denier falls squarely in that window of unified ducal authority, struck under a man powerful enough to compel Henry III to tread carefully during his lifetime.
The Ilisch and Dann references place this among a well-documented but physically scarce group. Silver output from Lower Lotharingia in this decade was modest, and surviving examples in any condition are infrequently encountered.
