Nibelung, Count Of Betuwe
Count Nibelung or Nevelung (born c. 890–900, died before 943), son of Ricfried, Count of Betuwe, Count Ricfried and his wife Herensinda. He was probably his father's heir, and like his father he was probably a count in Betuwe (Batavia (region), Batavia), and more generally in the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta region, now in the Netherlands, and the neighbouring northern Rhineland in Germany. His better-known brother was Balderic of Utrecht, Bishop Balderic of Utrecht (bishop of Utrecht 918–975). Nevelung is mentioned on the grave monument of his parents which was in Utrecht. The text was transcribed before the monument was removed. He was described there as a count (''"comes Nevelongus"''). Nibelung married a daughter of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut. This was demonstrated by independently by both Joseph Daris and Vanderkindere from the text of a grant made by Nevelung's brother, Bishop Balderic, which was addressed to Nevelung's wife after he had died.The 943 grant is reproduced in ...

Ricfried, Count Of Betuwe
Ricfried was a 9th and 10th century count in Betuwe (Batavia) now in the Netherlands, and possibly also some neighboring areas such as the Duffelgau, now in Germany. He was ancestor of a family referred to as the "Balderics" because it included several powerful bishops of this name. It is also proposed by historians such as Leon Vanderkindere that he is probably ancestor of the Counts of Loon (Looz) in modern Belgian Limburg. Life He was mentioned in an 897 charter by Zwentibold, King of Lotharingia, as a Count with possessions in Betuwe. He was also known as Count Dodo (''comitatu Dodonis''), his memorial calling him "Ricfridus hoc nomine Dodo vocatus … comes". The memorial names ''presul Baldricus … preses Rodolphus … victor Yrimfredus pariterque comes Nevelongus'' relate Balderic, governor Rudolph, victor Ehrenfried and count Nebelungas his children. Virtually all that we know about Ricfried is based on this memorial and the one charter which mentions him. The biography ...

Roermond
Roermond (; li, Remunj or ) is a city, municipality, and diocese in the Limburg province of the Netherlands. Roermond is a historically important town on the lower Roer on the east bank of the river Meuse. It received town rights in 1231. Roermond's town centre has become a designated conservation area.

Medieval Dutch Nobility
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the late 5th to the late 15th centuries, similar to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—most recently part of the Eastern Roman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Year Of Death Unknown
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Regnarid
The Reginarids (or Regnarids, Regniers, Reiniers, etc.) were a family of magnates in Lower Lotharingia during the Carolingian and Ottonian period. Their modern name is derived from the personal name which many members of the family bore, and which is seen as a ''Leitname'' of the family. At least two Dukes of Lotharingia in the 10th century belonged to this family. After a period of exile and rebellion, the two brothers who returned to power founded the first dynasties of the County of Hainault and County of Louvain. The latter were ancestors of the House of Brabant, Landgraves and later Dukes of Brabant, Lothier and Limburg. The Reginarid Brabant dynasty ended in 1355, leaving its duchies to the House of Luxembourg which in turn left them to the House of Valois-Burgundy in 1383. Junior branches of the male line include the medieval male line of the English House of Percy, Earls of Northumberland, and the German House of Hesse which ruled Hesse from 1264 until 1918 and still exis ...

Rudolf, Count Of Betuwe
Rudolf or Rodolphe (young in 943), was a Lower Lotharingian noble born into a family with connections to Utrecht. He is thought by some modern interpreters to have later had lordships in the Hesbaye (Dutch: ''Haspengouw'') region which is now in Belgium, in a part which mostly came to be incorporated into the later County of Loon (French: ''Looz''). He was a son of Nevelung, Count of Betuwe, and a daughter of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut, whose name is not known. He had two uncles, one paternal and one maternal, who were both named Rudolf, and various proposal have been made about how the three Rudolfs correspond to various references to "Count Rudolf" in the 10th century "low countries". Although his paternal uncle Rudolf is sometimes considered to have become a cleric, Jongbloed (2006) argued that he must have been a count, and that he certainly had a wife and offspring. There is no contemporary record of young Rudolf, the nephew, as a count, nor indeed as an adult. There is one c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Balderic I Of Liège
Baldrick I was bishop of Liège and Lobbes Abbey, abbot of Lobbes from 955 until his death on 29 July 959. Balderic appears in a 943 charter made in his favour by his paternal uncle Balderic of Utrecht, Balderic, which was studied by Joseph Daris in 1896 and Léon Vanderkindere in 1900, leading to the following conclusions: *His mother who is not named in the charter was a sister of Reginar III, Count of Hainaut. *His mother's father was also named Reginar, and, we know from this document, was already dead in 943. *His father was Nibelung, Count of Betuwe, Count Nevelung, who was also already dead in 943. *His father's brother, also named Balderic, was bishop of Utrecht from 918 to 975. He was able to grant the use of lands near Sint-Odiliënberg to the support of Nevelung's family. *He had a younger brother named Rudolf, son of Nevelong, Rudolf, who was to receive benefit from the grant after his mother and elder brother died.

Arnulf Of Valenciennes
Arnulf (or Arnoul, or Arnold) of Valenciennes (d. 22 October 1011), was a 10th and 11th century count and perhaps sometimes a margrave, who was lord of the fort of Valenciennes, which was at that time on the frontier with France (West Francia), on the river Scheldt. It was part of the ''pagus'' of Hainaut, in Lower Lotharingia, within the Holy Roman Empire. In the 10th century he is often mentioned together with the margrave of the next imperial fort to the north, at Ename, who was also count of Mons, Count Godefrey "the captive". He was possibly the same person as his contemporary Arnulf the count of Cambrai. 10th century As listed out by Ulrich Nonn (p. 130), many of the sources which list Arnulf and Godefrey as counts in Hainaut are clerical narrative sources rather than dated charters. The ''Gesta'' of the Bishops of Cambrai for example lists the two counts as coming next in a sequence of counts in Hainaut, after the two brothers Werner and Reynold, who in turn replaced ...

Usufruct
Usufruct () is a limited real right (or ''in rem'' right) found in civil-law and mixed jurisdictions that unites the two property interests of ''usus'' and ''fructus'': * ''Usus'' (''use'') is the right to use or enjoy a thing possessed, directly and without altering it. * '' Fructus'' (''fruit'', in a figurative sense) is the right to derive profit from a thing possessed: for instance, by selling crops, leasing immovables or annexed movables, taxing for entry, and so on. A usufruct is either granted in severalty or held in common ownership, as long as the property is not damaged or destroyed. The third civilian property interest is ''abusus'' (literally ''abuse''), the right to alienate the thing possessed, either by consuming or destroying it (e.g., for profit), or by transferring it to someone else (e.g., sale, exchange, gift). Someone enjoying all three rights has full ownership. Generally, a usufruct is a system in which a person or group of persons uses the real property ...
