Joscelyn was born in 1090 in North Riding, Yorkshire, England. Joscelyn's father was Henry II Count of Lorraine and his mother was Adelheid Von Bottenstien. His paternal grandfather was Lambert II Count of Brabant & Lorraine; his maternal grandparents were Botho Von Bottenstein and Jutte Von Schweinfurt. He was an only child. He died at the age of 99 in 1189.General Notes
The birth and ancestry of Josceline was as splendid as his estates wereslender. He was a younger son by a 2nd wife of Godfrey, Count of Brabantand Louvain, and was descended through Louis IV, King of France, 936, andhis wife Gerberga, daughter of the King of Germany; son of Charles III,King of France, and Edgina, daughter of Edward, the Elder, King ofEngland; son of Lewis II, King of France; son of Charles II, King ofFrance; son of Lewis I, son of Charlemagne. Joselyn wedded Agnes uponcondition that he should be called Jocelyn Percy, or else, that he shouldbear the arms of Lord Percy. He took counsel of his sister, the Queen,and chose to be called Jocelyn Percy rather than forsake his own arms,for so he should have no right of title to his father's inheritance. Thedate of this marriage is not certain, but it was probably about 1150,when Agnes Percy was in her 17th year. Queen Adeliza conferred on herbrother, by way of a wedding present, five and a half knights' fees inYorkshire, and the honour of Petworth in Sussex. He lived for theremainder of his life in great splendour; and is chiefly remembered forthe many rich gifts which he made to abbeys and religious houses.
