a) [ARNOUT [II] (-[after 1115]). Herckenrode refers to "Arnould comte d´Arschot, en 1095, fils d´Arnould comte d´Arschot, en 1060" but provides no corresponding primary source references[551]. No other reference has beenfound which confirms the parentage of Arnout [II]. According to van Hasselt, “Arnould comte d´Aarschot” commanded one of the fleets which left on the First Crusade in 1096[552]. Mortier, in his work on Belgian participation in the Crusades, names "Henricus Comes ab Arschot" in his list of participants in the First Crusade[553]. He cites William of Tyre and other works, whose names are also familiar. The precise primary source on which these referencesare based has not yet been identified. No reference to either Hendrik or Arnout van Aarschot has been found in the works of either William of Tyre or Albert of Aix. However, the suspicion remains that there may be a grain of truth in these statements, although, as the name Hendrik is not common in the later generations of the Aarschot family, it is more likely that the crusader was named Arnout. [Graaf] van Aarschot. Anselm of Gembloux´s continuation of Sigebert's Chronica records that Emperor Heinrich V celebrated Easter in Aachen in 1115 with Otbert Bishop of Liège and other "regni principes", of whom “Arnulfus de Arslot” whose fingers started to bleed which was taken as a portent of shedding blood through disputes between princes[554]. It is not certain whether this entry relates to Arnout [II] or Arnout [III].]
