Waleran I Of Limburg
Waleran (or Walram) II of Arlon (died 1082), supposedly also called Udon of Limburg, was the count of Arlon from AD 1052 and, if he was the same person as Udon, also count of Limburg from 1065 and ''advocatus'' of the Abbey of Sint-Truiden.

In 1065, the year that Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine died, ''Udone'' was named by Bishop Alberon III of Metz as his brother Frederick's successor as ''advocatus'' of the Abbey ...
