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] |

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. Through the centuries, the town has filled the role of commercial centre and a principal town in the duchy of Guelders. Since 1559, it has served as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Roermond. The skyline of the town is dominated by the towers of its two churches, St. Christopher's Cathedral and Roermond Minster ("Munsterkerk" in Dutch). In addition to the churches, the town centre has many significant buildings and monuments. It is located about 45 km south east of Eindhoven, 70 km south of Nijmegen, 40 km north east of Maastricht and 50 km west of Düsseldorf. History Celtic inhabitants of this region used to live on both sides of the river Roer. Invading Romans b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Otto, Count Of Looz
Otto is a purported Count of Loon (, ) and father of Count Giselbert, who would have been adult roughly around the years 980–1000. He appears in only one much later (probably 14th century) document that is considered unreliable, so his existence is doubted. The list of the counts of Loon is normally started with Giselbert. Since Leon Vanderkindere's seminal publications at the beginning of the twentieth century, scholars have tended to ignore the medieval report of Otto and accept Vanderkindere's proposal that Giselbert's father was Rudolf, the son of Count Nevelung. More recently, proposals have been made that Otto might have existed and been a son or nephew of Rudolf. None of these proposals have led to any consensus and can only be taken as speculative proposals. Jean Baerten, whose works in the 1960s are seen as an authority for this subject, doubted the existence of Otto at all. The only record of Otto, the third continuation of the chronicle or ''Gesta'' of the abbey of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Giselbert Van Loon
Giselbert van Loon (probably died about 1045) is probably the first, or in any case the first definitely known count of the County of Loon, a territory which, at least in later times, roughly corresponded to the modern Belgian province of Limburg, and generations later became a lordship directly under 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. Origins Giselbert's parents are not known for sure. A 14th century writer of the ''Gesta'' (chronicle) of the Abbey of St Truiden states that the parents of Giselbert and Balderic were Count Otto of Loon (otherwise unknown) and his wife Liutgarde, daughter of Countess Ermengarde of Namur, who was a daughter of Duke Otto of Lower Lotharingia. However, there are doubts about the reliability of this much later source. (For example, other records confirm that Countess Ermengarde was a sister of Duke Otto, ...

Rudolf, Count Of Hesbaye
Count Rudolf (living 944), was a count in Lower Lotharingia, who apparently held possessions in Counts of Hesbaye, Hesbaye and the nearby Meuse river. He was a son of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut, and thus a member of the so-called Regnarid dynasty. There are no records which designate him clearly as count of any specific whole geographical county. Counties called Avernas and Huste were counties belonging to a count or counts named Rudolf in this period, and it has been proposed that this may have been the brother of Reginar. Attestations Rudolf is only clearly mentioned in two records as brother of Reginar III, Count of Hainaut, Reginar III: *Their uncle Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine, who was senior member of their family was killed in 939 at the Battle of Andernach, and Otto the Great, King Otto the Great took firm control of Lotharingia. Flodoard reported that in 944, Rudolf and his brother were allied with Louis IV of France, King Louis IV of France, and Hugh the Great, Duke of th ...

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 ...

County Of Hesbaye
The '' pagus'' or '' gau'' of ''Hasbania'' was a large early medieval territory in what is now eastern Belgium. It is now approximated by the modern French- and Dutch-speaking region called Hesbaye in French, or ''Haspengouw'' in Dutch — both being terms derived from the medieval one. Unlike many smaller ''pagi'' of the period, ''Hasbania'' apparently never corresponded to a single county. It already contained several in the 9th century. It is therefore described as a "" (large gau), like the Pagus of Brabant, by modern German historians such as Ulrich Nonn. The Hesbaye region was a core agricultural territory for the early Franks who settled in the Roman '' Civitas Tungrorum'', which was one of the main parts of early Frankish Austrasia, and later Lotharingia. The region was also culturally important, a central part of what is referred to in art history as the Mosan region. It contained a substantial Romanized population and the seat of a large bishopric, that played a r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sint Odiliënberg
Sint Odiliënberg () is a village in southeast Netherlands, It is located in Roerdalen, Limburg, in the Roer River valley. History Romans settled here very early. Around 700, missionary monks from Ireland, Saints Wiro, Plechelmus, and Otgerus, built a monastery there, which was important in the Christianisation of the Netherlands. In the time of the Viking invasions the Utrecht clergy found shelter here. At first it was a secular collegiate chapter, which later moved to Roermond in the 14th century. A community of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre settled on the hill during that period. The village was first mentioned in the first half of the 9th century as Mons Petri. The current name means "hill of Odile of Alsace". After the Eighty Years' War, this area came under Spanish rule; it was ceded to the Dutch Republic in 1715. Until the French municipal reorganisation, St. Odiliënberg belonged to the administrative division known as Ambt Montfort. Around 1810 it became a sep ...
