Confusion[edit]

This article (and its single source) says that "Frederick of Liege" was bishop 1119-1121, succeeding Alexander.

List_of_the_bishops_of_Liège says that Otbert of Liège 1091-1119 was succeeded by "Frederick of Namur" (linked to Frederick of Liege) who was bishop 1119-1121.

The Catholic encyclopedia (a link from the Otbert article) says that Otbert was bishop 1091-1119 and then "The violent death of Henry of Namur (1119-21) won for him veneration as a martyr."

So:

  • We have two names for the bishop before 1119: Alexander or Otbert
  • We have two names for the bishop after 1119: Frederick (of Liege or Namur) or Henry.
