Godfrey, Count Palatine of Lotharingia was count of the Jülichgau from at least 924 to 936 and probably even until 949. He was the son of Gerhard I of Metz and Oda of Saxony, a daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony from the family of the Liudolfings, and thus a nephew of King Henry the Fowler. Moreover, he was the younger brother of Wigfried, the archbishop of Cologne from 924 to 953, and arch-chancellor of his cousin King Otto I from 941.
