Individual Details
Rudolf II of Haspinga
(920 - 970)
According to Wikipedia:
Rudolf II van Haspinga (± 920 - ± 970) was count of an area that encompassed a large part of present - day Belgian Limburg.
Power area [ edit | edit source text ]
In 949, Rudolfus came to the confirmation that the Abbey of Susteren belonged to the Abbey of Prüm . He ruled the county of Haspinga , to which remnants of the Maasgouw were added: the Maaslandgouw (950 pago Moselano ) and the shire of Hocht (952 pago Huste ). It is Jean Baerten who suggested the identification of Huste with Hocht . [1] Moreover, Hocht, centrally located on the Maas , would have become the new capital of the county, until after 1000 Borgloon on the tradeBruges - Cologne liked. Because of this the county was called " Loon ".
Rudolf was mentioned in 966, when Otto the Great confirmed his donation of Lentlo to the abbey of Nivelles . However, that same year it was reported that Rudolf's belongings had been previously confiscated. Most historians suspect that the confiscation happened as early as 958, at the time of the exile of other Reiniers , and Rudolf was reinstated by 966. Others believe that Rudolf lost his possessions for good in 966. Depending on this, the first graves of Loon, Giselbert van Loon and Arnulf van Haspinga , may or may not be related to Rudolf.
Giselbert and Arnulf are mentioned in connection with the shires Haspinga and Hocht. The shire Maasland seems to be lost; most of the territories that arose were moreover separate from the county of Loon in later centuries. Giselbert and Arnulf likely ruled their territories together, forming a condominium . This is indicated by the description of Haspengouw as "part of Giselbert's county" (1018) and Giselbert as a "count from Haspengouw" (1036). Perhaps Giselbert died shortly after 1031, after which Arnulf ruled only both areas until his death (around 1040). [2]
Ethnicity [ edit | edit source text ]
In 943 Rudolf was mentioned as the brother of the later Liège bishop Balderik I of Liège . He was also a brother of Reinier III of Hainaut , because a year later castella Ragnarii ac Rodulfi fratrum (the castle of the brothers Reinier and Rudolf) was under siege. The names Balderik and Giselbert in the same family tree seem to indicate a marriage between the Reiniers and the Balderiks (ca. 920). There are two theories that try to establish a connection between such a marriage and Count Giselbert van Loon :
From the marriage of Reinier II of Hainaut with Adelheid Alix (daughter of Richard I of Burgundy ), Rudolf was born, the grandfather of Giselbert. [3]
From the marriage of Nevelong (a brother of Balderik van Utrecht ) with a niece of Giselbert van Maasgouw , Berta was born, Giselbert's grandmother. [4]Descendants [ edit | edit source text ]
In Baerten's view, Giselbert, Arnulf and Balderik II of Liège were (grand) sons of Rudolf. [note 1] They were then born before 990. Giselbert probably had no children and was therefore succeeded by Arnulf, his brother or cousin. [5] The family continued with this; this explains why "Arnulf" or "Arnold" became the Leitname of the Loon graves family. This is in contrast to the old assumption that the later counts of Loon could only descend from Giselbert "van Loon".
Giselbert van Loon [ edit | edit source text ]
See Giselbert van Loon for the main article on this topic.
Giselbert or Gijsbrecht is the first to be mentioned as "Count of Loon".
Arnulf van Haspinga [ edit | edit source text ]
It is not known exactly when Arnulf was born and died. Mr. Verhelst places his death in or shortly before 1040. That year Arnulf is mentioned for the last time in charters. The relevant document states that Arnulf gave Haspinga as a dedicated fief to Prince Bishop Nithard of Liège . His brother Balderik II, one of the former prince bishops, probably urged him to do so. With the transfer of Haspinga, the entire county came under Liège protection.
Arnulf's supposed sons were:
Emmo van Loon , who succeeded him as Earl of Loon
Herman van Gronsveld
Otto I of Duras , by his marriage to an heiress of Avernas the region Sint-Truiden and custody of her abbey acquiredBalderik II van Loon [ edit | edit source text ]

Balderik II van Loon was Prince Bishop of Liège from 1008 to 1018.

In 943 Rudolf was mentioned as the brother of the later Liège bishop Balderik I of Liège . He was also a brother of Reinier III of Hainaut , because a year later castella Ragnarii ac Rodulfi fratrum (the castle of the brothers Reinier and Rudolf) was under siege. The names Balderik and Giselbert in the same family tree seem to indicate a marriage between the Reiniers and the Balderiks (ca. 920). There are two theories that try to establish a connection between such a marriage and Count Giselbert van Loon :
From the marriage of Reinier II of Hainaut with Adelheid Alix (daughter of Richard I of Burgundy ), Rudolf was born, the grandfather of Giselbert. [3]
From the marriage of Nevelong (a brother of Balderik van Utrecht ) with a niece of Giselbert van Maasgouw , Berta was born, Giselbert's grandmother. [4]Descendants [ edit | edit source text ]
In Baerten's view, Giselbert, Arnulf and Balderik II of Liège were (grand) sons of Rudolf. [note 1] They were then born before 990. Giselbert probably had no children and was therefore succeeded by Arnulf, his brother or cousin. [5] The family continued with this; this explains why "Arnulf" or "Arnold" became the Leitname of the Loon graves family. This is in contrast to the old assumption that the later counts of Loon could only descend from Giselbert "van Loon".
Giselbert van Loon [ edit | edit source text ]
See Giselbert van Loon for the main article on this topic.
Giselbert or Gijsbrecht is the first to be mentioned as "Count of Loon".
Arnulf van Haspinga [ edit | edit source text ]
It is not known exactly when Arnulf was born and died. Mr. Verhelst places his death in or shortly before 1040. That year Arnulf is mentioned for the last time in charters. The relevant document states that Arnulf gave Haspinga as a dedicated fief to Prince Bishop Nithard of Liège . His brother Balderik II, one of the former prince bishops, probably urged him to do so. With the transfer of Haspinga, the entire county came under Liège protection.
Arnulf's supposed sons were:
Emmo van Loon , who succeeded him as Earl of Loon
Herman van Gronsveld
Otto I of Duras , by his marriage to an heiress of Avernas the region Sint-Truiden and custody of her abbey acquiredBalderik II van Loon [ edit | edit source text ]
See Balderik van Loon for the main article on this topic.
Balderik II van Loon was Prince Bishop of Liège from 1008 to 1018.
