Notes about Godfried II van Aarschot

GODFRIED van Renen (-after 18 Oct 1145). "Godfried van Renen" is named in charters at Utrecht dated 1105, 1118, 1125 (three), 1129, 1139, 1145 and 1169[142]. "…Godefridus de Rinen et filius eius Hugo…" witnessed a charter dated 18 Oct 1145 under which Heinrich III King of Germany confirmed the rights of the church of Utrecht in the counties of Oostergau and Westergau[143]. Coldeweij speculates that Godfried van Renen may have been the same person as Godfried van Aarschot, pointing out that "the Renen family owned property in Perk, Anderlecht and Dilbeek near Brussels. This was the area where the oldest lands of the counts of Leuven lay"[144]. In this scenario, Godfried van Aarschot would not have been the ancestor of the van Lier family (this question is discussed more fully in the document BRABANT, LOUVAIN).

m [firstly] SOPHIA van Bemmel, daughter of DIRK van Bemmel & his wife ---. Coldewuij suggests that "Godfried van Renen-Aarschot" (identified as the future husband of Emmissa de Valenciennes) married Sophia van Bemmel as his first wife, by whom he fathered the six children shown below[145]. [m secondly ---.]

Godfried & his [first] wife had six children:
DIRK van Renen (-[1170/1177]).
GERLACH (-after 1187)
GODFRIED van Renen (-27 May 1178).
HEILWIG van Renen (-after 9 Apr 1178).
HUGO van Renen (-[18 Oct 1145/1178]).
