Jutta von Luxemburg, Gräfin von Arlon und Limburg

FRIEDRICH (-28 Aug 1065, bur Stablo). The Vita Adelheidis names "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis episcopi, Friderici ducis fratrumque suorum" as grandsons of "Irminthrudis", daughter of Megingoz[127]. One version of the Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ names "...Fredericus dux Lotharingie..." as one of the brothers of Ogive when recording her marriage[128]. Avocat of Stavelot/Stablo: an undated charter, recording the meeting in May 1033 at Deville between Emperor Konrad III and Henri I King of France, records “super bono sancti Remacli [=Stablo]...comite Frederico” [brother of “comite Heinrico”, so identified as Friedrich/Frédéric de Luxembourg][129]. "…Friderico comite eiusque fratribus, Gisilberto et Theoderico…" were among the witnesses of the testament dated 12 Nov 1036 of "Adalbero…prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis, dominus de Ruscheio, de Serico, de Sarburch et de Berincastel" [their paternal uncle][130]. He was installed by Heinrich III King of Germany as FREDERIC Duke of Lower Lotharingia: the Herimanni Augiensis Chronicon records in 1046 that “Fridericus frater Heinrici ducis Baioariæ” was installed as “dux Lotharingorum” in place of “Gotefridi fratre ignavo Gozzilone”[131]. The Annales Altahenses record in 1046 that the duchy was removed from "Gozziloni" and granted to "Friderico, Baioariæ ducis fratri"[132]. The Chronique de Saint-Hubert d’Ardennes records that Emperor Heinrich III granted “Amberlacenis...fiscum [Amberloux] cum castro...Rupes Seremanni [La Roche-en-Ardenne[133]]” to “duci Frederico” in exchange for “eius possessionibus, quæ in Saxonis opportuniores erant sibi”, undated but dated to [1046/28 Aug 1065][134]. Emperor Heinrich III donated property “in villa Apinis [Epen] in comitatu Friderici ducis in pago Maselant” to Kloster Burtscheid by charter dated 11 Jul 1056[135]. Ekkehard’s Chronicon Wirziburgense records that “Fridericus et fratres eius” attacked “Germaniæ partibus...contra imperium Romanum” but were defeated by “Agnete imperatoris et principibus regni”, dated to 1057[136]. “Fredericus...Lothariencium dux” donated a serf to Saint-Trond by charter dated 1059, witnessed by “Gisleberti de Orcismunt, Ottonis advocati et fratris eius Emmonis comitis de Los, Alberti comitis de Musal”[137]. Bernold’s Chronicon records in 1059 that “Fridericus et fratres eius de Glichberga” rebelled against “Heinrico regi”[138]. Avocat of Saint-Trond: the Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium records in 1060 that “Theoderico [error for Federico]...dux Lotharie” was made “advocatus huius opidi” in place of "Ottonem comitem Durachii, fratrem Emmonis comitis de Los", while an earlier passage records the presence in the same year of “Theoderico duce Lotharingiæ...advocato...et Ottoni comite Durachii subadvocato” in a charter [the same as the following donation][139]. “Advocati ducis Friderici, subadvocati comitis Ottonis...” witnessed the charter dated 1060 under which Alberon Bishop of Metz confirmed his predecessors donations to Saint-Trond[140]. A charter dated 30 Aug 1067 records that "Dux Fredericus et Stabulensis advocatus" donated “ecclesiam de Sprimont et allodium...Genape” to Stablo abbey, after the death of “Gerberga uxore mea” from whom was derived his rights to the property[141]. The burials of Friedrich and his first wife Gerberge are confirmed by a charter of Stablo dated 30 Aug 1067[142]. m firstly GERBERGE de Boulogne, daughter of EUSTACHE [I] Comte de Boulogne & his wife Mathilde de Louvain ([1015/30]-before 1059, bur Stablo). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Gerbergam, Friderici ducis uxorem" as daughter of "Mathildis filia Gerberge"[143]. Her suggested birth date is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of her descendants. A charter dated 30 Aug 1067 records that "Dux Fredericus et Stabulensis advocatus" donated “ecclesiam de Sprimont et allodium...Genape” to Stablo abbey, after the death of “Gerberga uxore mea” from whom was derived his rights to the property[144]. The burials of Frédéric and his first wife Gerberge are confirmed by a charter of Stablo dated 30 Aug 1067[145]. m secondly as her first husband, IDA of Saxony, daughter of BERNHARD II Duke in Saxony [Billung] & his wife Eilika von Schweinfurt (-31 Jul 1102, bur Namur). "Ida" is named as wife of "Albertus comes Namucensis" in the Chronicon Sancti Huberti, which specifies that "prius fuerat uxor ducis Frederici", but her origin is not given[146]. The Genealogia ex stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Idam Namucensem…uxorem Angelberti marchionis et Gertrudem comitissam Flandrensem" as children of "Bernardum"[147]. She married secondly ([1065/66]%29 Albert III Comte de Namur. Friedrich & his first wife had [two] children:

a) [daughter ([1030/45]-after 1065). The existence of this person is speculative: she is not named in any suriviving primary sources. As explained in the document LIMBURG, there are two alternative cases which explain the ancestry of Hendrik [I] Graaf van Limburg. In each case, a possible marriage of Udo Graaf van Limburg helps explain the hypotheses. In Alternative (1), Hendrik would have been the son of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon. Consistent with this alternative, an explanation is needed for Hendrik’s predecessor in Limburg, Udo, having succeeded Frédéric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia both in Limburg and in the advocacy of Saint-Trond. A marriage between Udo and an otherwise unrecorded older daughter of Duke Frédéric provides one possible explanation. If this case, Udo would have married before he was named at Limburg in 1061, and presumably his supposed wife would have been alive in 1065 when Udo succeeded as avocat of Saint-Trond. For hyperlinking purposes only, this case would be: m ([before 1061]) Udo Graaf van Limburg, son of --- (-[1065/75] or 1078).]

b) JUTTA [Judith] . Jutta is named, as shown below, as the daughter of Frédéric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia and as the mother of Hendrik [I] Graaf van Limburg but the identity of her husband is open to doubt. The question revolves around how Hendrik [I] inherited the county of Arlon, Judith and her husband forming part of the overall picture. Two alternative cases explaining Hendrik’s Arlon inheritance are set out in detail in the document LIMBURG. Both cases confirm that Jutta was Hendrik’s mother, but the conclusions concerning his father are different:

Under Alternative (1) of these two cases, Hendrik would have been the son of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon. This case is based on the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which records that "Henricus Lembergensis qui ducatum perdidit" [=Graaf Hendrik] was "filius...antiqui Walerani", an earlier passage in the same source naming “Adela comitissa Arelung vel Areleonis...soror Sigifridi [error for Friderici] filia...ducis Theoderici” and her two sons “Fulconem et Galeranum”, noting that Waléran “per uxorem suam” [unnamed] had "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and built “castrum de Lemburch”[148]. This text is consistent with a later part of the Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi which records that "Gerberga soror Eustachii comitis, ex Friderico duce” [Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric de Luxembourg Duke of Lower Lotharingia] gave birth to “filiam Iuttam” who was mother of “Henricum de Lemburc”[149], but does not name Jutta’s husband. Reading these two sources together, Jutta would have married Waléran [II] Comte d'Arlon, son of Waléran [I] Comte d’Arlon & his wife Adelais de Lotharingia ([1015/30]-after [1084/85]). Hendrik would then have inherited Limburg from his mother and Arlon from his father.

Under Alternative (2), Hendrik [I] would have acquired Arlon from his wife, who was heiress of the county. In that hypothesis, he had no direct Arlon ancestry. His father could not therefore have been Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon. This case is based on the Gesta Treverorum which records that "comitissa de castello…Aralunæ, mater...comitum Walramni et Folconis” [mother of Waléran [II] Comte d’Arlon] donated property to Trier after her husband died and that "huius comitissa neptem, filii filiam" [daughter of Waléran, or of his brother Foulques, or of another otherwise unrecorded brother] married "Heinricus dux…Lempurch" with “castellum...Lempurch” as her dowry[150]. It should be noted that the last part of this extract from the Gesta cannot be accurate as Hendrik’s wife could have had no Limburg ancestry under this Alternative (2). No source identities Jutta’s husband. Kupper suggests that he was Udo Graaf van Limburg[151] (for hyperlinking purposes only, this case would be: Udo Graaf van Limburg, son of ---). Kupper’s hypothesis is not entirely satisfactory. While this possible identification is an obvious one as Udo was Hendrik’s immediate predecessor in Limburg, Hendrik inherited Limburg from his mother whoever his father was. In addition, the absence of the name Udo among Hendrik’s known descendants also appears to suggest some doubt about this possible identification of Jutta’s husband. A further point is that, after Udo died, Hendrik did not inherit the advocacy of Saint-Trond, which passed to Otto de Looz Comte de Duras (who had been sous-avocat under Udo, see the document LOWER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY). The advocacy in fact passed from Otto’s son Giselbert to Hendrik’s son Walram in [1124/27], which suggests the resolution of a long-standing dispute which may be understandable if Hendrik’s right was not inherited from Udo in a direct line. It seems very unlikely that Judith von Luxemburg was born in 1036 and had children with a man 38 years older than herself. An alternative estimate for her birth year was proposed (1023).

FRIEDRICH [II Comte de Luxembourg] (-28 Aug 1065, bur Stablo). The Vita Adelheidis names "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis episcopi, Friderici ducis fratrumque suorum" as grandsons of "Irminthrudis", daughter of Megingoz[81]. "…Friderico comite eiusque fratribus, Gisilberto et Theoderico…" were among the witnesses of the testament dated 12 Nov 1036 left by "Adalbero…prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis, dominus de Ruscheio, de Serico, de Sarburch et de Berincastel", who was their paternal uncle[82]. The primary source which confirms that Friedrich was the father of the three brothers has not yet been identified. He was installed by Heinrich III King of Germany as FREDERIC Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1046. Vogt of Stablo and Malmédy. m firstly GERBERGE de Boulogne, daughter of EUSTACHE [I] Comte de Boulogne & his wife Mathilde de Louvain (-before 1059, bur Abbey of Stablo). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Gerbergam, Friderici ducis uxorem" as daughter of "Mathildis filia Gerberge"[83]. m secondly as her first husband, IDA of Saxony heiress of Laroche in the Ardennes, daughter of BERNHARD II Duke in Saxony [Billung] & his wife Eilika von Schweinfurt (-31 Jul 1102, bur Namur). "Ida" is named as wife of "Albertus comes Namucensis" in the Chronicon Sancti Huberti, which specifies that "prius fuerat uxor ducis Frederici", but her origin is not given[84]. The Genealogia ex stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Idam Namucensem…uxorem Angelberti marchionis et Gertrudem comitissam Flandrensem" as children of "Bernardum"[85]. She married secondly ([1065/66]) Albert III Comte de Namur.

Friedrich & his first wife had [two] children: a) [UDO (-after 1065). Graaf van Limburg. ... b) JUDITH . The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Iuttam" as daughter of "Friderici ducis" and his wife Mathilde (presumably an error for Gerberge), naming her son "Henricum de Lemburc"[93], although it appears from other sources that Hendrik was Judith's son-in-law not her son. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that the dowry of Waleran's wife was "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium"[94]. m WALERAN [II] Comte d'Arlon, son of WALERAN [I] Comte d'Arlon & his wife ---(-1081).

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/LIMBURG.htm#WaleranIIdied1081

WALERAN [II] d'Arlon, son of WALERAN [I] Comte d´Arlon & his wife Adelais of Lotharingia (-1081). The Gesta Treverorum names "Walrammi et Folconis" as sons of "comitissa [Adelheid] de castello…Aralunæ"[12]. Eberhard Archbishop of Trier refers to past donations by "comite Walrammo de Arlo et uxore ipsius Adelheide" in two charters dated 1052 and 1053, the second one referring to the confirmation of donations by "filiorum eorum Walrammi et Folconis" after the death of their parents[13]. Comte d'Arlon. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that the dowry of Waleran's wife was "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and that he constructed "castrum de Lemborch" on the site[14]. Graaf von Limburg. Archbishop Udo of Trier donated property to Trier St Simon by charter dated 29 Jan 1068, subscribed by "Theoderici comitis, Henrici fratris eius, Walrammi comitis, Folconis comitis, Stephani comitis…"[15]. "…Walrammus et frater eius Volko comites de Arlo…" subscribed the charter dated 1093 under which "Heinricus…comes palatinus Rheni et dominus de Lacu…uxore mei Adleide" founded the abbey of Laach[16], although this document may be spurious in light of the date of death of Comte Waleran. m JUDITH de Luxembourg, daughter of FREDERIC Duke of Lower Lotharingia [Luxembourg] & his first wife Gerberge de Boulogne . The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Iuttam" as daughter of "Friderici ducis" and his wife Mathilde (presumably an error for Gerberge), naming her son "Henricum de Lemburc"[17], although another source quoted below states that Hendrik was Judith's son-in-law not her son. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that the dowry of Waleran's wife was "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium"[18]. Waleran [II] & his wife had one child: a) [--- d'Arlon (-[after 1081]). The Gesta Treverorum refers to "huius comitissa [=Adelheid] neptem, filii filiam" as wife of "Heinricus dux…Lempurch"[19]. The countess referred to was the wife of Waleran [I] Comte d´Arlon, and her son, father of Hendrik van Limburg´s wife, would therefore in this scenario have been Waleran [II] Comte d´Arlon. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi takes a different view and names "Henricum de Lemburc" as the son of "Iuttam", daughter of "Friderici ducis" and his wife Mathilde[20], in which case Waleran [II] Comte d´Arlon would have been Hendrik´s father. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also records that "Henricus Lembergensis" was the son of "antiqui Walerani", presumably indicating Waleran [II] Comte d´Arlon[21]. The sources are therefore contradictory. If the Gesta Treverorum is correct, Hendrik´s first wife must have died soon after their marriage as she is not recorded as the mother of his children. It is assumed that she must have died after her father, otherwise it seems likely that Waleran would have disinherited his son-in-law from the castle of Limburg. m [as his first wife,] HENDRIK I Graaf van Limburg, son of --- (-1119).]
