The next recorded successor of Udo as Graaf van Limburg was Hendrik [I] who is shown below. Untangling the reports about Hendrik’s family origin is confusing, especially as whatever solution is found must explain his inheritance both of Limburg and the county of Arlon. Two possibilities are that Hendrik (1) was the direct descendant of the family of the Comtes d’Arlon (see the document UPPER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY) or (2) was related to the Arlon family by marriage. These two cases are shown as different alternatives below. Four primary sources are relevant to the discussion:

1. · A later passage in the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi records that "Gerberga soror Eustachii comitis, ex Friderico duce” [Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia] gave birth to “filiam Iuttam” who was mother of “Henricum de Lemburc”[23].
2. · The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "Henricus Lembergensis qui ducatum perdidit" [referring to his loss of the duchy of Lower Lotharingia, see below] was "filius...antiqui Walerani" [no further precision in the text, presumably from a chronological point of view this refers to Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon] and he had “filium...Paganum” who also claimed “ducatu contra Lovanienses”, as did “filius eiusdem Pagani Henricus” who married “filiam suam” to “tertio Godefrido de Lovanio” to settle the dispute[24]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in an earlier passage names “Adela comitissa Arelung vel Areleonis...soror Sigifridi [error for Friderici] filia...ducis Theoderici” and her two sons “Fulconem et Galeranum”, noting that Waléran “per uxorem suam” [unnamed] had "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and built “castrum de Lemburch”[25].
3. · The Gesta Treverorum records that "comitissa de castello…Aralunæ, mater...comitum Walramni et Folconis” donated property to Trier after her husband died and that "huius comitissa neptem, filii filiam" married "Heinricus dux…Lempurch" with “castellum...Lempurch” as her dowry[26]. The accuracy of this text must be tested separately for the first part (Hendrik’s wife’s ancestry) and the second (his inheritance of Limburg through his wife, implying her Limburg ancestry).
4. · The Annalista Saxo records that “Otto de Suinvorde” married "Emilias vel Immula seu Irmingardis...sororque illius Adelas dicta nupserat Ottoni marchioni de Italia", by whom he had “...Iudhita...” who married firstly “Cononi duci Bawariorum” and secondly “Bodo quidam nobilis”, giving birth by her second husband to “Adelheidem” who by “Heinricus dux de Lintburch” had “Walramonum ducem qui et Paginus dicebatur, et filias duas...”[27]. While not concerning Hendrik’s ancestry directly, this text indicates that the Arlon name of Hendrik’s son Walram must have come from one of Walram’s paternal grandparents not from his mother.

As will be explained below, neither of the alternative cases shown here is fully consistent with all these sources. However, none of them is error free, meaning that assessing which might be preferred over the others is little more than guesswork. Nevertheless, it appears that Alternative (1) represents greater consistency with the sources than Alternative (2).

Incidentally, an earlier passage in the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi records that "Adela soror Friderici ducis” [Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric [II] Duke of Upper Lotharingia] gave birth to “Fulconem et Gallerannum et filiam unam quam habuit Henricus de Liemborc, pater Pagani de Arluns”[28]. This passage must be inaccurate: the daughter of "Adela soror Friderici ducis” (shown in other sources to have been the wife of Waléran [I] Comte d’Arlon) would have been born in [1015/30], which is inconsistent with Hendrik [I] Graaf van Limburg being named in sources dated from 1081 to 1119 and the births of his children in [1080/95].

(1) Alternative one: Hendrik’s direct descent from the comtes d’Arlon.

Under this case, Hendrik [I] was the son of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon, from whom he inherited Arlon directly. His mother was Jutta de Luxembourg, daughter of Frédéric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia and eventual heiress of Limburg. Hendrik would have been married only once, to Adelheid von Botenstein. This case could involve his predecessor, Udo Graf van Limburg, marrying an older otherwise unrecorded sister of Jutta in order to explain how he was Frédéric’s immediate successor in Limburg and in the advocacy of Saint-Trond. This case (1) is consistent with the Genealogica and Alberic when read together, the former naming Jutta as Hendrik’s mother without naming her husband while the latter names Hendrik as the son of Waléran [II] who had inherited Limburg from his wife. It is also consistent with the Annalista Saxo, as Hendrik’s son Walram would have inherited Arlon and his Arlon name from his paternal grandfather. This alternative is not consistent with the Gesta Treverorum.

HENDRIK [I] van Limburg, son of WALERAN [II] Comte d’Arlon & his wife Jutta [Judith] de Luxembourg ([before 1060]-1119). Hendrik’s birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when named for the first time in 1081 (see below). This date is also consistent with the birth of Hendrik’s children in the likely range [1080/95]. Graaf van Limburg. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium names “comes Henricus de Lemburch” among those present at Liège 27 Mar 1081 when the bishop of Liège made peace with Heinrich IV King of Germany[29]. ["%E2%80%A6Heinricus dux de Lemburg…" subscribed the charter dated 1093 under which "Heinricus…comes palatinus Rheni et dominus de Lacu…uxore mei Adleide" founded the abbey of Laach[30], although the naming of other witnesses suggests that this charter is spurious.] The Annalista Saxo records that "Heinricus comes de Lintburh cum Theoderico comite" rebelled against Emperor Heinrich in 1101, the castle of Limburg being captured and destroyed by imperial forces[31]. Emperor Heinrich III installed him as HENRI I Duke of Lower Lotharingia in late 1101: the Annalista Saxo records that the emperor celebrated Christmas at Mainz where "Heinricus comes de Lintburh dux effectus est"[32]. The Annalista Saxo records that he was deposed as duke in 1106 by Heinrich V King of Germany after rebelling again[33]. Sigebert records that “Heinricus exdux” occupied Aachen in 1107 in opposition to the newly appointed “dux Godefridus”, that “Heinricus cum filiis suis” escaped but that “uxorem eius” was captured[34]. The Chronicon rythmicum Leodiense records Hendrik’s death in 1119[35].

m ADELHEID von Botenstein, daughter of BOTHO Graf von Botenstein & his wife Judith von Schweinfurt (-after [1107]). The Annalista Saxo records that “Otto de Suinvorde” married "Emilias vel Immula seu Irmingardis...sororque illius Adelas dicta nupserat Ottoni marchioni de Italia", by whom he had “...Iudhita...” who married firstly “Cononi duci Bawariorum” and secondly “Bodo quidam nobilis”, giving birth by her second husband to “Adelheidem” who by “Heinricus dux de Lintburch” had “Walramonum ducem qui et Paginus dicebatur, et filias duas...”[36]. The identity of Adelheid’s father is indicated by Ekkehard who names "duo fratres Aerbo…et Boto paterno de sanguine Noricæ gentis…Hartwici palatini comitis filii"[37], read together with the charter dated 2 Sep 1094 under which Emperor Heinrich IV confirmed the donation of "villa Rounueld…in pago Vueringeon in comitatu Vueringeri" made by "Boto Noricus natione vivens Bauarica…coniugis sue Iudithæ"[38]. A charter of Embricho Bishop of Würzburg dated 10 Jul 1136 records that serfs (“Sasso et soror ipsius Gerberc...”) testified that “neptis ipsius ducis [=Ottonis de Svinfurde] domina Adelheit, filia comitis Bodonis et uxor ducis Heinrici de Linburc” had arranged the burial of “matrem istorum” at Würzburg St Stefan[39]. Sigebert records that “Heinricus exdux” occupied Aachen in 1107 in opposition to the newly appointed “dux Godefridus”, that “Heinricus cum filiis suis” escaped but that “uxorem eius” was captured[40].

Hendrik [I] & his wife had [six or more?] children:

1. WALRAM [II] “Paganus” van Limburg ([1080/85]-6 Aug 1139). The Annalista Saxo names "Walrabonum ducem qui et Paginus dicebatur" as son of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein[41]. Graaf van Limburg 1119.

- see below.

2. AGNES van Limburg (-1136). The Annalista Saxo names her first of the two daughters of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein, also naming her husband "Friderico comiti palatino de Putelenthorp"[42]. A later passage names her second husband "Walo iunior de Vakenstide" but incorrectly calls her "sororem Heinrici ducis de Lintburh"[43]. The Chronicon Gozecense names "Agnem, Heinrici ducis de Lintburc filiam" as wife of "palatinus Fridericus"[44]. A later passage names her second husband "Walo iunior de Vakenstide" but also incorrectly calls her "sororem Heinrici ducis de Lintburh"[45]. m firstly (1110) FRIEDRICH [IV] von Putelendorf, son of FRIEDRICH [III] von Goseck & his wife Adelheid von Stade (posthumously [1085]-Dingelstedt [26 Jun] 1125, bur Halberstedt). Pfalzgraf 1114. m secondly WALO "der Jüngere" von Veckenstedt, son of --- (-1126).

3. ADELHEID van Limburg (-6 Feb [1144/46], bur Bamberg St Michael). The Annalista Saxo records the second of the two daughters of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein as the wife of "Fridericus comes de Arnesberge" but does not name her[46]. "Chuno de Horberch…cum uxore sua Adelheit" donated property to Osterhove monastery[47]. The primary source which confirms Adelheid, wife of Kuno, as the widow of Friedrich Graf von Arnsberg has not yet been identified. The primary source which confirms her third marriage has not yet been identified. m firstly FRIEDRICH "der Streitbare" Graf von Arnsberg, son of KONRAD Graf von Werl[-Arnsberg] & his wife Mathilde von Northeim (-11 Feb 1124). m secondly ([Feb 1124/1130]) KUNO Graf von Horburg, son of KUNO Graf von Horburg [Lechsgem%C3%BCnd] & his wife [Irmgard von Rott] (-30 Jun [1138/39]). m thirdly (before 19 Mar 1140) as his first wife, KONRAD [II] Graf von Dachau, son of KONRAD [I] Graf von Dachau [Scheyern] & his wife Willibirg --- (-killed in battle near Bergamo 18 Feb 1159, bur Scheyern).

4. MATHILDE van Limburg (-after 1148). The origin of the wife of Henri [I] Comte de Laroche is determined from a charter dated 1148 in which Wibald abbot of Stavelot names "dominis suis Heinrico de Rupe et Heinrico de Lemburch quorum alter, id est de Rupe, advocatus ecclesie nostre erat et alterius Heinrici amite filius"[48], the former being Henri [II] Comte de Laroche and the latter Hendrik II Duke of Limburg. She is named in the charter dated 1152 under which "Heinricus comes de Rupe" donated property to the abbey of St Hubert referring to "matris mei Mathildis comitisse et Godefridi fratris mei"[49]. m HENRI [I] de Namur Comte de la Roche, son of ALBERT III Comte de Namur & his wife Ida von Sachsen (-before 5 Jun 1138).

5. [son%28s%29 . The existence of two or more sons is confirmed by Sigebert which records that “Heinricus exdux” occupied Aachen in 1107 in opposition to the newly appointed “dux Godefridus”, that “Heinricus cum filiis suis” escaped but that “uxorem eius” was captured[50]. The number of other sons is not known.]

6. [HENDRIK van Limburg (-after 1131). The Vita Andreæ, first abbot of Averboden, in the Chronicle written by Nicolas Hogeland Abbot of Middelburg, records that in 1131 "Walravium Limburgi comitem, Lotharingiæ inferioris ducem" wished to install "fratrem suum Henricum in præpositura sancti Lamberti Leodii", which was opposed by "Rainerum de Los præpositum de Fosse, Arnoldi comitis Lossesnis fratrem natu minorem, et Theodoricum de Los primum dominum de Hornes", and that Emperor Lothar appointed "Hermannum de Hornes S. Gereonis præpositum dicti Raineri nepotem, Guidonem de Limburgo sancti Lamberti canonicum etiam dicti Hermanni nepotem…Godefridum comitem de Vianden" to arbitrate the dispute[51]. This is the only reference so far identified to this supposed brother of Duke Walram. The source, however, is late and includes inaccuracies. It is not known whether this report is accurate or not.]

(2) Alternative two: Hendrik’s connection by marriage with the comtes d’Arlon.

In this case, Hendrik was the son of Jutta [Judith] de Luxembourg, daughter of Frédéric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia (as in Alternative (1)), but by an unknown husband. Hendrik married, as his first wife, the heiress of the comital family of Arlon. This case is based on the Gesta Treverorum which records that "comitissa de castello…Aralunæ, mater...comitum Walramni et Folconis” [mother of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon] donated property to Trier after her husband died and that "huius comitissa neptem, filii filiam" [daughter of Waléran, or of his brother Foulques, or of another otherwise unrecorded brother] married "Heinricus dux…Lempurch" with “castellum...Lempurch” as her dowry[52]. It should be noted that the last part of this extract from the Gesta cannot be accurate as Hendrik’s wife could have had no Limburg ancestry under this Alternative (2). The case is consistent with the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi, which names Jutta as Hendrik’s mother but does not name her husband, but is inconsistent with Alberic de Trois Fontaines. Nor is the case consistent with the Annalista Saxo: Hendrik’s son Walram must have derived his name from his Arlon ancestry and therefore, under this case, must have been born from Hendrik’s first marriage contrary to what the Annalista Saxo records.

Kupper suggests that Jutta’s unknown husband was Udo Graaf van Limburg (see above)[53]. Unfortunately, Kupper’s hypothesis is not entirely satisfactory. While this possible identification is an obvious one as Udo was Hendrik’s immediate predecessor in Limburg, Hendrik appears to have inherited Limburg from his mother whoever his father was.

HENDRIK [I] van Limburg, son of --- & his wife Jutta [Judith] de Luxembourg ([before 1060]-1119). Graaf van Limburg. Sources naming Hendrik are quoted above under Alternative (1).

m firstly --- d'Arlon, daughter of --- d'Arlon & his wife ---. In this Alternative (2), her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Gesta Treverorum which records that "comitissa de castello…Aralunæ, mater...comitum Walramni et Folconis” [Adelais de Lotharingia, this person’s supposed paternal grandmother] donated property to Trier after her husband died and that "huius comitissa neptem, filii filiam" married "Heinricus dux…Lempurch", with “castellum...Lempurch” as her dowry[54]. If the first part of this text accurately records her parentage and marriage, the reference to her bringing Limburg to Hendrik must be incorrect as he inherited the castle from his mother’s family.

m secondly ADELHEID von Botenstein, daughter of BOTHO Graf von Botenstein & his wife Judith von Schweinfurt (-after 13 Aug 1106). Adelheid is hyperlinked above under Alternative (1), where sources which name her are quoted.

Hendrik [I] & his first wife had one child:

1. WALRAM [II] “Paganus” van Limburg ([1085]-6 Aug 1139). The Annalista Saxo names "Walrabonum ducem qui et Paginus dicebatur" as son of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein[55]. However, under this Alternative (2), Hendrik’s first wife must have been mother of his son Walram to explain the transmission of this Arlon name into the Limburg family. Graaf van Limburg.

- see below.

Hendrik [I]’s other children are listed above under Alternative (1). According to the Annalista Saxo, they were all born to Adelheid von Botenstein, but the identity of their mother must be open to doubt under this Alternative (2) if, as noted above, an exception is required in the case of Hendrik’s son Walram.
https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/LIMBURG.htm#HendrikILimburgdied111...

WALERAN[II] d'Arlon ([1015/30]-after [1084/85]%29 One passage in the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi records that "Adela soror Friderici ducis” [Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric [II] Duke of Upper Lotharingia] gave birth to “Fulconem et Gallerannum et filiam unam quam habuit Henricus de Liemborc, pater Pagani de Arluns”[13]. Their father’s name is confirmed by the 1052/1053 charters quoted below. Waléran’s date of birth is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of this family, bearing in mind his mother’s estimated date of birth and his father’s supposed date of death. The Gesta Treverorum names "Walrammi et Folconis" as sons of "comitissa [Adelheid] de castello…Aralunæ"[14]. Eberhard Archbishop of Trier refers to past donations by "comite Walrammo de Arlo et uxore ipsius Adelheide" in two charters dated 1052 and 1053, the second one referring to the confirmation of donations by "filiorum eorum Walrammi et Folconis" after the death of their parents[15]. Comte d'Arlon. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that the dowry of Waleran's wife was "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and that he constructed "castrum de Lemborch" on the site[16]. Archbishop Udo of Trier donated property to Trier St Simon by charter dated 29 Jan 1068, subscribed by "Theoderici comitis, Henrici fratris eius, Walrammi comitis, Folconis comitis, Stephani comitis…"[17]. “...Walaramnus et Folco comites fratres...” witnessed a charter of Egilbert Archbishop of Trier dated [1084/85][18]. ["%E2%80%A6Walrammus et frater eius Volko comites de Arlo…" subscribed the spurious charter dated 1093 under which "Heinricus…comes palatinus Rheni et dominus de Lacu…uxore mei Adleide" founded the abbey of Laach[19], which provides no guarantee that the brothers Walram and Bolko/Foulques were still alive at that date.] The question of Waléran’s marriage is speculative. As explained in the document LIMBURG, there are two alternative cases which explain the ancestry of Hendrik [I] Graaf van Limburg. In Alternative (1), Hendrik would have been the son of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon. Consistent with this alternative, Waléran would have married Jutta [Judith] de Luxembourg, daughter of Frédéric Duke of Lower Lotharingia [Luxembourg] & his first wife Gerberge de Boulogne. One passage in the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi records that "Gerberga soror Eustachii comitis, ex Friderico duce” [Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia] gave birth to “filiam Iuttam” who was mother of “Henricum de Lemburc”[20]. For consistency with the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines (which records that "Henricus Lembergensis qui ducatum perdidit" [referring to his loss of the duchy of Lower Lotharingia, see below] was "filius...antiqui Walerani" [no further precision in the text, presumably from a chronological point of view this refers to Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon] and he had “filium...Paganum” who also claimed “ducatu contra Lovanienses”, as did “filius eiusdem Pagani Henricus” who married “filiam suam” to “tertio Godefrido de Lovanio” to settle the dispute[21]. This source does not name Jutta’s husband. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names her husband Waléran but not his wife, recording that [his mother] “Adela comitissa Arelung vel Areleonis...soror Sigifridi [error for Friderici] filia...ducis Theoderici” had two sons “Fulconem et Galeranum”, of whom Waléran “per uxorem suam” [unnamed] had "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and built “castrum de Lemburch”[22]. In Alternative (2), Hendrik would have been the son of his predecessor Udo Graf van Limburg and acquired an interest in Arlon by marrying the daughter of one of the brothers Waléran or Foulques as shown below.

Henry I (c. 1059 – c. 1119) was the count of Limburg and Arlon from 1082 to his death and duke of Lower Lorraine between 1101 to 1106. He was the son of Waleran I of Limburg and Jutta, daughter of Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine.

He opposed Egilbert, Archbishop of Trier, and took back some property which the former Countess Adela had given to the church. Egilbert summoned him to return them, but he refused and was excommunicated. Egilbert took up arms and seriously defeated him.

As advocate of the abbey of Sint-Truiden, a title he had inherited from his father, he intervened in the internal affairs of the abbey. The abbot Herman, named by Poppo, Bishop of Metz, and supported by Godfrey of Bouillon and Henry, fell out with the Emperor Henry IV and the abbey was transferred to the authority of Arnold, Count of Loon. Arnold forced Henry and Godfrey to withdraw from the monastery.

After many local nobles left on the First Crusade, among them Godfrey, Henry's power in the region of Belgia was greatly increased and he abused it, especially against the monasteries. The emperor intervened and took Limburg in July 1101. Henry was now forced to make submission and he was granted the duchy of Lower Lorraine, which Godfrey had abandoned on Crusade.

As duke, he fell into competition with Godfrey I of Louvain. He demonstrated little in the way of loyalty the emperor either. He joined Henry V against his father the emperor, but then turned back to the emperor's side. This was unfortunate for the duke, for the emperor died in 1106 and the partisans of Henry V attacked those of his father. The fields of Belgia were devastated, Limburg was taken, and Henry was imprisoned in Hildesheim. The duchy was transferred to Godfrey of Louvain.

Henry later escaped and tried to retake Limburg and Lower Lorrain. He failed and made peace with the new emperor and duke. He continued nevertheless to employ the ducal title as "Duke of Limburg," the first of a long line. He also readily joined revolts against Henry V, fighting at the side of Lothair, Duke of Saxony, at the victories of Andernach in 1114 and Welphesholt on 11 February 1115. He was succeeded by his son Waleran.

He married Adelaide (1061 – 1106), daughter of Boso of Podenstein (also Botenstein or Pottenstein) and Judith of Schweinfurt, daughter of Otto III, Duke of Swabia. They had the aforementioned Waleran and three daughters. One daughter, Adelaide, married Conrad I, Duke of Merania. Henry may also have been the father of Simon, Constable of Jerusalem after the First Crusade.

Der Kampf um den Herzogtstitel [Bearbeiten]

Heinrich von Limburg wurde von 1101 von Kaiser Heinrich IV. zum Herzog von Niederlothringen ernannt. Im Machtkampf zwischen dem Kaiser und dessen Sohn (Heinrich V.) blieb er dem alten Kaiser treu, wodurch er 1106 die Herzogswürde an Graf Gottfried I., Graf von Löwen, verlor. In der Folgezeit kam es zwischen den Häusern Limburg-Arlon und Löwen-Brabant zu fortwährenden Kämpfen um den Titel und das Amt des Herzogs von Niederlothringen. 1128 erhielt Heinrichs I. Sohn, Walram III. von Limburg (1119–1139), den Titel von Kaiser Lothar III.. Im Jahr 1139 verlieh Konrad III. ihn wieder den Brabantern. Die Situation wurde dann dadurch geklärt, dass Walrams Sohn Heinrich II. im Jahr darauf (1140) zum Herzog von Limburg ernannt wurde.

Zur Herkunft Heinrichs [Bearbeiten]

In der Literatur wird seit langem die Folge Walram I. – Walram II. – Heinrich I. für die ersten Generationen des Hauses Limburg-Arlon angegeben[1]. Dabei sind Walram II., Graf von Arlon, als erster Graf von Limburg, und Judith/Jutta, Tochter von Herzog Friedrich II. von Niederlothringen und Erbin von Limburg, die Eltern Heinrichs.

Andererseits wird um 1061 – zu Lebzeiten Walrams II. – ein egregrius comes Udo de Lemborch (auserwählter Graf Udo von Limburg) erwähnt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass Walram II. und Udo als eine Person angesehen wird, der man häufig den Namen Walram-Udo gibt[2].

Schwennicke (1999, siehe unten) u.a.[3] geben nun eine davon abweichende Genealogie an. Nach ihm sind Walram II. und Udo zwei verschiedene Personen, wobei Walram II. Graf von Arlon und Ehemann Judiths bleibt, aber nicht als Graf von Limburg erwähnt wird; Udo ist um 1061 Graf von Limburg (bei Schwennicke: ein Graf von Limburg, der wohl Udo hieß) und mit Judith/Jutta verheiratet, einer Tochter von Herzog Friedrichs Bruder Giselbert, Graf von Salm. Die Zusammenführung der Grafschaften Arlon und Limburg erfolgt hier über Heinrich I., der als Sohn des ersten Grafen von Limburg, also vermutlich Udos in erster Ehe die Erbtochter Walrams II. von Arlon heiratete. Diese – und nicht Heinrichs zweite Ehefrau Adelheid von Pottenstein – wäre dann auch die Mutter der nachfolgenden Generation.

Nachkommen [Bearbeiten]

Nach Schwennicke heiratete Heinrich in erster Ehe eine Tochter von Graf Walram II. von Arlon, die auch die Mutter seiner Kinder wurde. Nach traditioneller Überlieferung war Heinrich lediglich mit Adelheid von Pottenstein verheiratete (bei Schwennicke Heinrichs zweite Ehefrau). Die Kinder Heinrich - aus welcher Ehe auch immer - waren:

   * Walram III. Paganus; † 1139, 1115–19 Graf von Arlon, 1119 Graf von Limburg und Herr von Wassenberg, 1128 Herzog von Niederlothringen

* Agnes; † 1136; ∞ I Friedrich von Putelendorf; † 1125; ∞ II Walo von Vockenstedt; † 1126
* Adelheid; † 1144/46; ∞ I Friedrich der Streitbare, Graf von Arnsberg; † 1124; ∞ II vor 1130 Kuno von Horburg; † wohl 1138/39; ∞ III vor 1140 Konrad II., Graf von Dachau, X 1159

Henry, Duke of Lower Lorraine

Henry I (c. 1059 – c. 1119) was the count of Limburg and Arlon from 1082 to his death and duke of Lower Lorraine between 1101 to 1106. He was the son of Waleran I of Limburg and Jutta, daughter of Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine.

He married ADELAIDE de POTTENSTEIN(1061 – 1106), daughter of BOTTO de POTTENSTEIN (POTENSTEIN or Pottenstein) and Judith of Schweinfurt, daughter of Otto III, Duke of Swabia. They had the aforementioned Waleran and three daughters. One daughter, Adelaide, married Conrad I, Duke of Merania. Henry may also have been the father of Simon, Constable of Jerusalem after the First Crusade.

Hendrik I succeeded as a Count of Limburg, who would become the Duchess of the Lower Lorraine and Markgraaf of Antwerp in 1101, partly due to the relationships between his mother and grandmother.
