Life
Ruprecht was a son of Count Ruprecht I von Laurenburg and Beatrix von Limburg , a daughter of Duke Walram III.

progeny
Due to the lack of data, much is unknown about the early Counts of Laurenburg and Nassau, including exact family relationships. Perhaps Rupert's wife was also called Beatrix, but his marriage is not mentioned. As the uncle of Count Ruprecht III. von Nassau he could very well have been the father of Count Walram I of Nassau , who then succeeded Count Hermann von Nassau , son of Ruprecht III, as the nephew of Count Hermann von Nassau .
