Walram from Arnsberg

Walram von Arnsberg (* around 1292 ; † 1322 or 1323 ) was provost of the Meschede monastery .

Walram von Arnsberg was the son of Count Ludwig von Arnsberg and Pironetta von Jülich. He was the brother of his predecessor in Meschede Johannes von Arnsberg . Before he became provost, he was a canon in Aachen .

Archbishop Heinrich II von Virneburg granted him the right to grant benefices of canons for ten years in 1319. According to the statutes of the monastery, the chapter was actually responsible for this. In his time, Heidenricus von Soest was primarily concerned with regaining the estranged property of the monastery. In 1322 Walram allowed the widow of the knight Rutger von Melrich at Gut Waltringhausen to build a chapel or monastery for himself and other women religious. Walram died in 1322 or 1323. Shortly before, he had also become a canon in Münster on papal commission .
