Frederick I, or Ferry I[1] of Lorraine (9 January 1369[citation needed] – October 25, 1415 in the Battle of Agincourt[2]) was a Count of Vaudémont.[1]
He was the son of Duke John I of Lorraine (1346-1390) and Sophie of Württemberg (1343-1369).[3] He was a younger brother of Charles II.[citation needed] In 1394, Frederick married Margaret, the heiress of Vaudémont and Joinville, and became Count of these lands in her right.[4][5] He founded the House of Vaudémont, a junior branch of the House of Lorraine.
His children were:[6]
- Antoine, who succeeded as Count of Vaudémont,
- Elisabeth, who married Philipp I of Nassau-Weilburg,
- Frederic, Lord of Rumigny,
- Charles, Lord of Bovines, and
- John, Lord of Fleurines
Dynastic problems in the senior line caused his great-grandson René of Vaudémont to become Duke of Lorraine as René II in 1473.[6]
