He is married to Ida van Arnsberg.
They got married
Child(ren):
GOTTFRIED von Malsen gt van Kuyc, son of HENDRIK Heer van Kuyc & his wife Alveradis [von Hochstaden] (-1168 or after). The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names "Godefridus…de Arnsberch ac Hermannus de Kuyc famosi comites et…fratres"[1969]. Lothar King of Germany confirmed property of Duisburg by charter dated 8 May 1129 witnessed by "…Comites: …Godefridus et Hermannus de Cuch…"[1970]. “Alveradis mulier nobilis” donated property to Marienweerd, with the consent of “filiis suis Godefrido et Herimanno”, by charter dated 1129[1971]. Lothar King of Germany confirmed the donation to Kloster Siegburg made by "Alverada de Cuck cum suis liberis" by charter dated 2 May 1131 witnessed by "…Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Comes Adolfus de Saffenberch, Gerhardus Hostath, Godefridus et frater eius Herimannus de Chuh, Gerhardus de Mulenarca…"[1972]. Graf von Arnsberg [1130]. The Annalista Saxo names "Godefridi comitis de Kuc [et] fratre suo Herimanno" recording that the emperor confiscated their ancestral lands[1973]. Konrad III King of Germany dismissed claims by "comes Adelbertus de Noruenich" to property "in silva…Osninch" claimed from Kloster Brauweiler by charter dated 14 Sep 1141, witnessed by "…comes Arnoldus de Cleuia, comes Adolfus de Monte, comes Heinricus de Gelra, comes Adolfus de Saphenberch, Gerardus puer comes de Iuliaco, Godefridus de Arnesberch, Herimannus de Cuich…"[1974].
m [firstly] (1129) as her second husband, IDA [Jutta] von Arnsberg, widow of GOTTFRIED [II] Graf von Cappenberg, daughter of FRIEDRICH "der Streitbare" Graf von Arnsberg & his wife Adelheid van Limburg. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis refers to "Friderici comitis filiam" as the wife of Gottfried Graf von Cappenburg[1975]. The Annales Stadenses specifies that "unam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her, was wife of "Godefridus de Cuc, pater comitem Heinrici et Frederici de Arnesburch" while "secundam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her either, was wife of "Otto de Cappenburch, cuius filia Eilica uxor Eilmari"[1976]. Europäische Stammtafeln[1977] conflates these two possible daughters into one, married twice. No source has been identified which confirms that this is correct, although the death of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg shortly before the marriage to Gottfried van Kuyc suggests that it is a possibility. This is the solution which is shown here. The Annales Stadenses contain many inaccuracies and it is preferable not to rely exclusively on this source in the absence of independent corroboration. This unreliability is illustrated by the reference to "Otto de Capenburch", which must be an error for Gottfried, and by the suggestion that the couple were parents of Eilika, later Gräfin von Oldenburg. The latter point contradicts the Vita Godefridi comitis Cappenbergensis which names Heinrich Graf von Rietberg (see below) as Eilika's father, which is a more acceptable possibility from a chronological point of view. Heiress of Arnsberg.
[m secondly HEILWIG van Renen, daughter of GODFRIED van Renen & his [first] wife Sophia van Bemmel (-after 1178). "Helewige et heredibus suis…Hugone et Godefrido…" consented to the donation of property at Dilbeek to Bijgaarden near Brussels, by charter dated 1164[1978]. Bishop Godfried´s testament dated 9 Apr 1178 names "pater meus Godefridus de Renen" and refers to the distribution of his possessions "de Brabantia" to his three sons "Theoderico, Gerlaco et Arnoldo clerico" and to "Hugoni fratri meo, et michi Godefrido, et sorori Helewigi", with reversion to “Godefridus cognatus meus...filiis...Sophie neptis mee et Henricus de Kuc”[1979].]
Graf Gottfried & his [first] wife had [six] children:
HEINRICH [I] (-1203 or after).
ALVERADE (-after 1205).
ADELHEID (-after 1200)
JUTTA
