  Lothair III, Holy Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lothair III of Supplinburg (1075 – 1137), was Duke of Saxony (1106), King of Germany (1125), and Holy Roman Emperor from 1133 to 1137.
Lothair III is thus seen as a successor of Emperor Lothair I (ruled 843-855) and King Lothair II of Lotharingia (ruled 855-869), most of whose kingdom was eventually absorbed into Germany.
He was a posthumous child, born in June 1075 shortly after his father, Gebhard of Supplinburg, died in battle against the Emperor Henry IV.

 Lothar II, Holy Roman Emperor
The sole member of the house of Supplinburg to hold the titles, Lothar II (1075-1137) became duke of Saxony in 1106, king of Germany in 1125 and Holy Roman Emperor in 1133.
Lothar faced opposition through most of his reign from Frederick II[?], the Hohenstaufen duke of Swabia, whom he had defeated in the election to the kingship (the usual preliminary to accession as emperor), and Frederick's brother Conrad III.
The son of Gebhard, count of Supplinburg, and Hedwig, countess of Formbach, Lothar married Richensia of Nordheim.

After the extinction of the male line of Billungs, the duchy was given to Lothar of Supplinburg, who then also became Emperor for a short time.
In 1137 Saxony was passed to the Welfen dynasty, who were descendants (1) of Wulfhild Billung, eldest daughter of the last Billung duke, and (2) of the daughter of Lothar of Supplinburg.
It reached its peak under Duke Henry the Lion, and after his death it began to decline (Henry had declined to participate the later Italian wars of his liege lord, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, and those expeditions to Italy ended in disasters.

The county of Zülpich- and Eifelgau then passed to Dietrich of Are, who had married Bruno of Hengebach’s niece, to judge especially from the appearance of the name Lothar –; from Bruno’s apparent brother of the Supplinburg family in Saxony – in the eldest of Dietrich’s several sons.
It should be noted that the name Lothar appears not only in a son of the inferable marriage between Dietrich of Are and a Supplinburg wife, it soon appears in Otto’s son, and this line clearly descended from Dietrich of Are’s second marriage with a woman of Sponheim.
The apparent explanation is that Adelheid of Hochstaden, Otto’s wife, descended via her mother from the house of Kessel, another lower Rhenish family with evident Supplinburg ties.

As Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia he accompanied Pope Gelasius II into exile, and through his efforts Emperor Henry V was reconciled with the papacy at the Concordat of Worms.
As pope his first success was the elimination of friction concerning the right of investiture by securing the succession to the German throne of Lothair of Supplinburg who renounced many of the ecclesiastical claims which former kings had seized from the papacy.
He was forced to compromise with Roger of Sicily concerning the lands bequeathed to the Holy See by William of Apulia.

Arms of the German counts appear to be systematized in the reign of Lothar of Supplinburg (1125-37), and Count Lothar of Are was clearly a relative of that emperor.
It is noteworthy that the Saffenbergs receive the imperial colors in reverse.
The house of Are, conversely, has only the descent via Supplinburg, and so they receive the oppositional colors, gueules and argent.

The political development of Pomerania, accompanied by devastating military campaigns, was as turbulent as the process of its conversion to Christianity had been smooth and even.
In 1135, the Polish Duke Boleslaw II was compelled to accept Pomerania-Stettin as a fief from Lothar von Supplinburg, so that the territories of the Gryphon Duke came within the sphere of influence of the Holy Roman Empire.
Somewhat later, the powerful Duke of Saxony became involved.
