Albert I (died ca. 1011) the son of Robert I, was a count who held the castle of Namur and a county in the Lommegau. His county came to be referred to as the County of Namur in records during his lifetime.[1]

As Jean Baerten and other authors have pointed out, this is chronologically impossible, though it is possible Lutgarde could be mother of Emmo and Otto.[7]
Ludgarde and Emma, both with a connection to Looz, are sometimes therefore thought to represent a garbled account of the same person.
