Waleran I of Limburg

Walram II (1052-1070 testifies; † before 1082 ) was Count of Arlon and perhaps also Count of Limburg. He was the son of Count Walram I of Arlon and Adela of Lorraine, daughter of Dietrich I, Duke of Lorraine.

Grote referred to him as the builder of the castle Limburg ( Limbourg, 1064 )

Walram was since 1060/61 with Jutta / Judith, daughter of Duke Frederick II of Lower Lorraine married from the house of Wigeriche.

The family Walrams

The literature has long been the consequence Walram I. - Walram II - Henry I specified for the first generations of the House of Limburg - Arlon. Here are Walram II of Arlon the first Count of Limburg and Judith / Jutta of Lower Lorraine as heiress of Limburg parents of Count Henry I.

Udo de Lemborch ( 's chosen Udo Count of Limburg) mentions a egregrius comes - the other hand is to 1061 - during his lifetime Walrams II. This has the consequence that Walram II and Udo is considered to be a person who is frequently gives the name Walram -Udo.

Schwennicke (1999, see below), among others now show a deviating genealogy. According to him Walram II and Udo are two different people, with Walram II Count of Arlon and husband of Judith remains, but is not mentioned as Count of Limburg. Udo is at 1061 Graf von Limburg ( at Schwennicke: a count of Limburg, the well was called Udo ) and married to Judith / Jutta, a daughter of Duke Frederick's brother Giselbert, Count of Salm. The merger of the counties Arlon and Limburg takes place via Heinrich I, who presumably Udo's first wife, the heiress Walrams II of Arlon married the son of the first Earl of Limburg. This - and not Henry II (second) wife Adelheid von Pott stone - would be the mother of the next generation.
