Lothar died fighting the Slavs in the Battle of Lenzen, as did Lothar II, Count of Stade. Thietmar describes his great-grandfathers (called Liuthar in his Chronicon), as “distinguished men, the best of warriors, of illustrious lineage, and the honour and solace of the homeland.”[1]
Lothar's wife's name is also unknown. They had one child - Lothar II the Old, Count of Walbeck.
Upon his death, Lothar was succeeded as Count of Walbeck by his son and namesake.
