Walram II (Arlon)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walram II (attested 1052-1070; † 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, the daughter of Dietrich I , Duke of Lorraine .

Grote describes him as the builder of Limburg Castle (in Limbourg , around 1064).

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

To the Walrams family

In the literature the sequence Walram I - Walram II - Heinrich I has been given for the first generations of the House of Limburg-Arlon. Walram II von Arlon is the first Count of Limburg and Judith / Jutta von Niederlothringen as heiress of Limburg are the parents of Count Heinrich I.

On the other hand, around 1061 - during Walram II's lifetime - an egregrius comes Udo de Lemborch (chosen Count Udo von Limburg) is mentioned. As a result, Walram II and Udo are seen as one person who is often given the name Walram-Udo .

Schwennicke (1999, see below) and a. now give a different genealogy. According to him, Walram II and Udo are two different people, with Walram II remaining Count of Arlon and Judith's husband, but not being mentioned as Count of Limburg. Udo is Count of Limburg around 1061 (near Schwennicke: a Count of Limburg, who was probably called Udo) and married to Judith / Jutta, a daughter of Duke Friedrich's brother Giselbert , Count of Salm . The merging of the counties of Arlon and Limburg takes place here via Heinrich I, who as the son of the first count of Limburg, probably Udo's first marriage, married the heir to Walrams II of Arlon. This - and not Heinrich II's (second) wife Adelheid von Pottenstein - would then also be the mother of the next generation.

progeny

Walrams (or Udo's) children were:

  • Heinrich I , † 1119, Count of Arlon and Limburg, Duke of Lower Lorraine
  • Konrad von Merheim, † after 1088
