ARNOLD [II] van Elsloo (-after 1232). “...Arnoldus de Elslo et frater eius Herimannus...” witnessed the 1202 charter under which "Henricus filius Henrici filii Walerami ducis de Limburg" donated property to Rolduc [Rode] abbey[284]. The Historia Lossensis names “...Otto de Bornen...Arnoldus et Hermannus frater eius de Elslo...” as hostages of the comte de Looz in a charter dated 1206[285]. Fahne records that “die Gebrüder Arnold u. Herman von Elslo” lived in 1213 (no source cited)[286]. Heer van Elsloo. “Arnoldus nobilis ac dominus de Ereskloth” donated land “apud Auteit” to Robermont abbey by charter dated 22 Jul 1216[287]. “Arnoldus vir nobilis dominus de Eslo...et Arnoldus filius meus” donated land “in villa...Auteiht juxta Leodium” to Le Val-Benoît abbey, for “allodio” donated by “Luthgardis soror nostra...matrona domina...de Hunfalize” had donated, by charter dated 1232[288]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Arnold’s wife has not been found. Keizer & Vermeulen suggest that she was “(Elisabeth)”[289], while the Elsloo.info website names her “Mechtild van Dyck”[290]. Neither of these indications has been verified. Arnold [II] & his wife had one child:
a) ARNOLD [III] van Elsloo (-after 1285). “Arnoldus vir nobilis dominus de Eslo...et Arnoldus filius meus” donated land “in villa...Auteiht juxta Leodium” to Le Val-Benoît abbey, for “allodio” donated by “Luthgardis soror nostra...matrona domina...de Hunfalize” had donated, by charter dated 1232[291]. Heer van Elsloo. “Arnoldus de Elsloo miles” granted “advocatiam et omne judicium de villa de Hamale” to “domino Willelmo de Hamale militi” by charter dated 21 Apr 1248[292]. Arnold van Elsloo donated property to the hospital of St. Johan by charter dated Apr 1282, witnessed by his three daughters “Elisabeth vrouwe van Batenburg, Margarethe vrouwe van Borne, Johanna vrouwe van Hoogstraten”[293]. Fahne records that “Arnold nobilis vir dominus in Elslo” donated property to Köln St Maria ad gradus by charter dated 1285[294]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Arnold’s wife has not been found. Keizer & Vermeulen suggest that she was “(Johanna)”[295], while the Elsloo.info website names her “Ide”[296]. Neither of these indications has been verified. Her daughter Johanna is called “vrouw van Hoogstraeten” in the Apr 1282 charter cited below. As Arnold [III] van Elsloo was still living at that date, it is possible that Johanna inherited this fief from her mother who, if that is the case, would have been deceased at the time. Another possibility is that Johanna had married firstly the “heer van Hoogstraeten” and could have retained the fief after his death.
Arnold [III] & his wife had three children:
ELISABETH van Elsloo ([1240/44?]-[Apr 1282/18 Sep 1291]).
MARGARETA van Elsloo ([1243/45?]-after Apr 1282).
JOHANNA van Elsloo ([1246/50?]-after 1286).
He is married to Bezzela Nn.
They got married
