Heer van Heusden 1184 tot na 1217.

{geni:about_me} Arnold I was first mentioned as lord of Heusden in 1173. He probably build the castle of Heusden. He might have been a son of https://www.geni.com/people/Herman-van-Heusden/6000000002739581053, but there is no hardevidence from primary sources for this parentage yet



There are multiple false pedigrees dating from 15th and 16th century which add a number of ancestors to the earliest known lords of Van Heusden. One such line was published by Jacob van Oudenhoven in his book [https://books.google.fr/books?id=EP3rE0bJIKUC Geschiedenis en Beschryving der stad Heusden etc.], published in 1794. This book presents the following line:

Robert I, first lord of Heusden

Edmond I, second lord of Hesuden

Robert II, third lord of Heusden

Edmond II, fourth lord of Heusden

Jan I, fifth lord of Heusden

Robert III, sixth lord of Heusden, died 972, married to a daugther of the count of Salm

Boudewijn II, seventh lord of Heusden, died 1028, married to a daughter of the count of Gennep

Jan II, eigth lord of Heusden, died 1073, married to Machteld of Steenvoorden

Robert IV, ninth lord of Heusden, died 1092, married to a daughter of the lord of Arkel

Boudewijn III, tenth lord of Heusden, died 1110, married to a daughter of the count of Lippe

Jan III, eleventh lord of Heusden, died 1135, married to a daughter of the lord of Arentsbergh

Willem, twelfth lord of Heusden, died 1153, married to a daughter of the count of Linnighen

Arnoud, thirteenth lord of Heusden, died 1168, daughter of the count of Salm



In reality, Arnoud of Heusden, mentioned above as the 13th lord of Heusden, is the first person in this line who is actually documented in primary sources, but even for him the information given is incorrect, because he died ca. 1200 and not already in 1168. All information on older generations should be considered as fake information, created to give local lords a noble descent, and should not be copied as actual, reliable information. The same goes for other lines derived from 15th/16th century sources that go beyond Arnold of Heusden.
