Personal data Walram I van Limburg 

  • He was born in the year 1030.
  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Walram I van Limburg of Walram Udo (ca. 1030 - 1082) was vanaf 1061 de eerste graaf van Limburg die met zekerheid genoemd kan worden. Tevens was hij graaf van Aarlen en voogd van de abdij van Sint-Truiden. Walram wordt soms beschouwd als bouwheer van het slot Limburg, doch deze mening is vooralsnog niet verenigd kunnen worden met het feit dat bedoelde burcht zich in 1085 nog in handen bevond van paltsgraaf Herman II van Lotharingen.

    Zijn zoon Hendrik I, die hem opvolgde als graaf van Limburg, zou in 1101 hertog van Neder-Lotharingen en markgraaf van Antwerpen worden, mede dankzij de verwantschappen via zijn moeder en grootmoeder.

    Waleran (or Walram) I (died 1082), called Udon, was the count of Arlon from AD 1052 and Limburg from 1065. He was the son of Waleran, Count of Arlon. He was also the advocate of the abbey of Sint-Truiden.

    The origins of his family are poorly known, he appears to have been a member of a collateral branch of the house of Ardennes, then ruling in Upper Lorraine. He may instead have been maternally related to that house. His mother may have been Adela, daughter of Duke Theodoric I.

    He inherited Arlon together with his brother Fulk, who died in 1078, leaving him sole count. Waleran married Jutta, daughter of Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine. This marriage gave him the county of the Len (or Lengau), a district around Liège. Waleran constructed a castle in his new territory: the Lenburg, whence Limburg. Waleran made this castle his seat and he is known as the first count of Limburg. His son, Henry, inherited his counties on his death.
  • He died in the year 1082, he was 52 years old.
  • A child of Walram van Arlon and Adelheid van Lotharingen
