     “Otto was the son of Hermann, emperor-elect, Graf von Salm, and his wife Sophie. About 1115 he married Pfalzgräfin Gertrude von Northeim, heiress of Friesland, widow of Siegfried von Ballenstedt, Graf von Orlamünde, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen, and daughter of Heinrich 'der Fette' von Northeim, Markgraf in Friesland, and Gertrud von Meissen. Gertrude was the sister of Richenza von Northeim, wife of Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg. Otto and Gertrude had a son and two daughters; both daughters would have progeny.
     “Otto built the castle of Rheineck and around 1124 he called himself Otto von Rheineck after it. After the death in 1140 of his stepson Wilhelm, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen, son of Siegfried von Ballenstedt, Otto claimed the Rhine Palatinate for himself, but Konrad III, elected King of the Romans in 1138, took the Palatinate as a fief and gave it to Hermann von Stahleck, who was devoted to him. Otto was able to hold the castles of Treis and Rheineck until about 1148, when open warfare broke out. The castle of Treis was taken over by the archbishopric of Trier, and the castle of Rheineck was destroyed by King Konrad in 1151. Otto died in 1150.”.¹

     "Arnold II (or Arnulf, Arnoul) (died 1146), Count of Looz, son of Arnold I, Count of Looz, and Agnes von Mainz, daughter of Gerhard I, Count of Rieneck, and Helwig von Bliescastel. He is distinguished from his father of the same name by historians who note records for counts named Arnold or Arnulf between 1179 and 1141. The first Arnold must have died between 1125 when Count Arnold appears in a record with his son also named Arnold, and 1135, when a new Count Arnold appears with his own son and successor Louis.[1]
     "Between these two dates, in 1129, Gislebert, Count of Duras, sought to seize the property of the Abbey of Sint-Truiden. (Giselbert was a cousin, the grandson of his namesake Giselbert, Count of Looz.) A war developed between Giselbert and the supporters of the abbot Radulphe, whose allies included Arnold (possibly Arnold I was still alive), Théoger, Bishop of Metz, Alexander I of Jülich, Bishop of Liege, and Waleran II, Duke of Lower Lorraine. Gislebert’s supporters included his brother-in-law Godfrey the Bearded, Count of Louvain, and Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. The decisive battle took place on August 7, 1129 at Wilderen where Gislebert and his allies were defeated, but peace did not return in 1131.
     "He founded the Abbey of Averbode, giving home to the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré that St. Norbert had created.
     "Arnold had an outstanding reputation among his contemporaries, frequently being the arbiter in disputes between neighbors. In particular, he succeeded in bringing about a reconciliation between Dirk VI, Count of Holland, and Giselbert’s son Otto II, to get Herman van Horne, grandson of Emmo, Count of Looz, recognized as Bishop of Utrecht. He was welcomed with great distinction at the court of the emperors of Germany, and his name frequently appears among the witnesses mentioned in the charters granted by Emperors Henry IV, Henry V and Lothair II, and King of Germany Conrad III.
     "According to a document which is possibly spurious, Arnold married Aleide.[2] Arnold is proposed to have had five children:
** Louis I, Count of Looz
** Gerard (d. after 1138), Count of Rieneck
** Gottschalk (d. after 1138)
** Imagine, Abbess of Susteren in 1174
** Jean de Looz, Seigneur de Ghoer, married to Sophie.

Daris suggests that this is the last known mention of Comte Arnaud [I] and that the other later sources which name Comte Arnaud refer to his son Comte Arnaud [II] (see below)[839]. He bases his speculation on the career of Arnaud [I], whose first mention he dates to 27 Mar 1082 (no source cited), which he assesses to have been too long if he had survived until after 1136. This suggestion is consistent with the chronology of the succeeding generations of the Looz family which, as can be seen below, appears more cogent with an additional generation inserted between Arnaud [I] and Louis [I].

As a result of his diplomacy, the emperor transferred the authority of the abbey of Sint-Truiden from Henry I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, to Arnold. Arnold forced Henry and his ally Godfrey of Bouillon, to withdraw from the monastery. The domain of Arnold expanded with the County of Rieneck by his marriage to Agnes.

     "Count Emmo or Emmon (d. before 17 Jan 1078) is one of the first known Counts of Loon. Before him one more count is known with confidence, Giselbert of Loon, but it is not certain that Giselbert was his father. Verhelst for example has proposed that he was his uncle, and that Giselbert's brother Count Arnulf was father of Emmo and also a count of Loon.
     "More securely, his mother is named clearly as Luitgarde of Namur, a sister of Count Albert of Namur, in a work about the life of her cousin, Bishop Arnulf of Soissons.[1]
     "Unusually, Emmo and his brother Otto were sometimes jointly referred to as Counts of Loon, though Otto's descendants became Counts of neighboring Duras, perhaps through his marriage to the heiress. Emmo's family was probably descended from the 10th century families who held counties in the local Hesbaye region, which were eventually replaced by Loon and Duras. In 966 the lord of Gelmen was a Count Immo.
     "Emmo married Suanhildis, who was possibly the daughter of Dirk III Hierosolymita, Count of Holland, and Othelandis of Nordmarck. Emmo and Suanhildis had four children:
     "Emmo was succeeded as Count of Looz by his son Arnold upon his death.

As noted in the document HOLLAND, no primary source has been identified which indicates that Bertrada was the daughter of Dirk III Count of Holland. Nevertheless, from a chronological point of view Count Dirk is the most likely father, assuming that Bertrada was a member of that family. "Arnoldus comes Mogotiensis prefectus" in this passage must be identified as Arnaud [I] Comte de Looz, who is recorded as the son of Emmo Comte de Looz. If that is correct, the wife of Emmo was Suanehildis of Holland, daughter of Dirk III "Hierosolymita" Count of Holland & his wife Othelindis [von Haldensleben] (-31 Mar [1100]). From a chronological point of view, the suggestion is feasible: the birth of the children of Count Dirk III must be dated to [1010/35], while Comte Emmo´s children were probably born in [1040/60]. The necrology of Liège Saint-Jacques points to this being the correct solution when it records the death 31 Mar of “Spannehildis comitissima de Los” and her donation[794]. Verdonk indicates that she died in 1100 on a pilgrimage to Rome[795]. [The Vita Andreæ, first abbot of Averboden, in the Chronicle written by Nicolas Hogeland Abbot of Middelburg, records that "comitis Arnoldi Lossensis" descended "ex parte matris" from "Cliviæ comitibus"[796], which would be inconsistent with this hypothesis but, as pointed out below, Klaversma notes that this source is a 17th century forgery and is therefore unreliable[797].] The dubious late-18th century Recueil généalogique de familles originaires des Pays-Bas indicates that Comte Emmo married “Ermingarde, fille héritière de Conrard sire de Hornes et de Machtilde de Juliers, laquelle fit de belles donations à St. Barthelemi de[ Liège et à notre Dame de Hui”[798]. No primary source is cited to confirm this statement and no reliable reference has been found to any such early family of Heren van Horne (see the document DUTCH NOBILITY). Possibly the statement is linked to the 17th century forgery which suggests that Horne was inherited by Emmo’s son Thierry, as noted below. The reference to the “donations à St. Barthelemi de Liège” suggests that this person was identified as "Ermengardis comitissa" whose donation is dated 1078[799], and presumably also as "Ermengardis" who made similar donations to the churches of Sainte-Marie et Saint-Lambert de Liège by charter dated 5 Feb 1078[800].

Hedwige for Otto and Gertrude and that this Hedwig "m. Hughues d Enghien." However, neither Genealogics nor Med Lands lists a daughter named Hedwig for Otto and Gertrude. There is generally disagreement concerning the wives of Huwes/Hugues d'Enghien, and Hedwige could be an error, or the attribution of parents might be an error.

Giselbert von Looz Graf von Looz died between 1044 and 1046.^1,7
      ; Per Wikipedia:
     "Giselbert van Loon (c. 980 – c. 1045) is probably the first, and certainly the first definitely known count of the County of Loon, a territory which to roughly correspond to the modern Belgian province of Limburg, and generations later became a part of the Prince-bishopric of Liège. Very little is known about him except that he had two brothers, one of whom, Bishop Balderic II of Liège, is much better attested in historical records.
     "It is not certain when Giselbert started his rule, but his brother Balderic became Bishop by 1008. The Gestorum Abbatem Trudonensium Continuatio Tertia implies that Giselbert did not become count until about 1021, after his brother Balderic died in 1018, and it says there were some years between his father's death and him taking up the position. Records from Liège on the other hand seem to indicate that Giselbert was already an adult and count during his brother's reign.
     "Giselbert apparently died around 1045, because in 1044 a charter of St. Barthélémy of Liége mentions a count Giselbert, probably (but not certainly) him, and in May 1046 the next generation of counts, the brothers Emmo and Otto, appear as counts of Loon.[1]
     "Giselbert's county was based in Borgloon, originally simply called Loon. The castle, probably built by his grandson, was a motte-and-bailey, with a hall and a chapel in the front court.[2] The area forms the core of the modern town. The castle itself was destroyed some generations later and the hill on which it stood was excavated in the 19th century.
     "Giselbert's parents are not known for sure but it was proposed by Léon Vanderkindere that he is likely to be an descendant of Count Nevelong, who is known to have married a Regnarid, bringing together two important families in the region with the right types of influence to put the brothers into their various positions. Two specific modern hypotheses have been published: that he was a son of Count Rudolf, Count of Betuwe (Nevelong's son), or Otto, Count of Looz, which would make Giselbert Nevelong's grandson.[3] The 14th century writer of the Gestorum Abbatem Trudonensium Continuatio Tertia 1007, MGH SS X, p. 382 says that the parents of Giselbert and Balderic were Count Otto of Loon and his wife Lutgarde, daughter of Countess Ermengarde of Namur, who was a daughter of Duke Otto of Lower Lotharingia. But there are doubts about this late source.
     "Concerning the ancestry of Giselbert and his two brothers, Bishop Balderic II of Liège, about which more is written than his brothers, was said to be a kinsman of both Lambert I, Count of Louvain and Arnoul of Valenciennes, a grandson of Nevelong and his Regnarid wife.[4] He also shared blood with two clerics who, like the Balderics but unlike the Regnarids, seem to have been kinsmen of the Ottonian dynasty in Germany, Gerard of Florennes, and Bishop Arnulf (archbishop of Reims).[5] Nevelong's family, furthermore, are called the "Balderics" because they had two bishops with this name in generations before Balderic II: Nvelong's brother Balderic was Bishop of Utrecht and Nevelong's son Balderic was the first Bishop of Liège with that name.
     "Balderic was able to donate his personal possessions at Pannerden in Batavia (Betuwe), as area associated with the family of Nevelong, to the church in Liège. More difficult to interpret, and also related to the same general northern river delta area, just before the Battle of Vlaardingen, where Balderic died of sickness on campaign, he was accused of wanting to spare a blood-relative, which implies a close relationship to Count Dirk III of Holland.[6]
     "Giselbert's brother Arnulf (or Arnoul, or Arnold) was apparently described in 1040 as count of a county named Haspinga, in the land of Haspingow, a reference which has caused many different interpretations.[7] It is probable that when Haspinga was donated to the Prince-bishopric of Liège, Loon, itself a fief of Haspinga, became a fief of Liege. In any case when the male line of the Counts died out, the Bishop claimed the county successfully.
     "Giselbert was the first known guardian of the goods (voogd, advocatus) of the Saint-Jacobs-Abbey Liege, founded by his brother Balderic.
     "Giselbert was succeeded as Count of Loon by:
     "Otto's son Giselbert II, Count of Duras, married Oda, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. Giselbert later battled Arnold II, Count of Looz, the grandson of Emmo, over the Abbey of Sint-Truiden.
     "Giselbert's wife is not known with any certainty. A wife named Erlende is sometimes mentioned in genealogies, including the Europaische Stammtafeln. As explained by Baerten (1965 part I) this is no longer accepted. The Vita Arnulfi describes Lutgarde of Namur as mother of both Emmo Count of Loon, who was father of Count Arnulf of Loon and his sister Sophia, and also Otto, who was father of Count Gislebert of Duras. This Lutgarde is described as a sister of Count Albert of Namur. Her husband is not named there.[8] But the Gesta of St Trudo appears to say that the same Lutgarde was the mother of Bishop Balderic II, the brother of Emmo's supposed father Gilbert.[9] This implies that Gilbert was a brother to Emmo. On the other hand, these sources are in conflict with each other and at least one of them seems to be misinterpreting the facts.
Notes
1. Verhelst (1984) believes it is not him in 1044, but a Gilbert who was advocate of the Abbey of St Truiden, and a member of the comital family of Duras in 1023. He also doubts that Giselbert of Loon was the father of Emmo and Otto. There is no medieval source which says Giselbert was father of the next counts, the brothers Emmo and Otto. The 1044 charter is analyzed in Bormans (1861) "Notice d'un manuscrit intitulé Cartulaire de Van den Berch, conservé aux archives de l'État, à Liège" Bulletin de la Commission royale d'Histoire 3rd series 2 p.280 [1]. The 1046 charter is reproduced in Miraeus (Foppens ed.) Opera diplomatica et historica III p.303
2. Vaes p.129
3. Rudolf is the proposal of Vanderkindere, accepted as most likely also by Baerten. Otto is proposed in two different ways. J.M. Winter proposed that Otto was a son of Rudolf, and Jongbloed of Nevelong's daughter Bertha.
4. That bishop Balderic II of Liège had common ancestry with Count Arnoul, who modern historians believe to mean Arnoul of Valenciennes, grandson of Nevelong, is mentioned in his biography the Vita Balderici Ep. Leodensis link. That bishop Balderic II had common ancestry with Lambert Count of Louvain is stated in the Gesta episcoporum Cameracensium, lib. III, ch. 5, M.G.H., SS., t. vii, p. 467-468.
