Count Dudo was the son of Robert (German: Ruprecht), the Archbishop of Mainz’s Vogt in Siegerland. It is presumed from their ancestral possessions in the Lipporn area that they were descendants of the Lords of Lipporn, who were mentioned as early as 881 in a document of Prüm Abbey as the owners of parts of the Lipporn-Laurenburg area. Around 950, the Lords of Lipporn obtained the Esterau (the area near present day Holzappel) from Herman I, Duke of Swabia. In 991, a Drutwin from Lipporn is mentioned as Count in the Königssondergau east of Wiesbaden. Probably with his father, Dudo built the castle of Laurenburg on the edge of the Esterau. This was sometime before 1093, because a "Comes Dudo de Lurenburch" is mentioned in founding charter of the Maria Laach Abbey, in fifth place of the witness list. Some historians, however, have claimed that this document was fabricated. He is later mentioned in a document from 1117 as the Vogt in Siegerland, having succeeded his father. He was asupporter of the Salian emperors, opposing the Archbishops of Mainz, Cologne, and Trier and the Counts of Katzenelnbogen.

Nassau Castle

Around 1100, Dudo began building Nassau Castle, which would eventually become the home castle of the House of Nassau. This resulted in a century-long dispute with the Bishopric of Worms, which owned the land.

In 1117, Dudo donated land to Schaffhausen Abbey for construction of a monastery in Lipporn. This monastery, built under Dudo's son Robert I in 1126, was the Benedictine Schönau Abbey. From 1141 until her death in 1164, the abbey would be the home of St. Elizabeth of Schönau. In 1122, Dudo received the castle of Idstein in the Taunus as a fief under the Archbishopric of Mainz. This was part of the inhertance of Count Udalrich of Idstein-Eppstein. He also received the Vogtship of the richly-endowed Benedictine Bleidenstadt Abbey (in present-day Taunusstein).[1] Descendants

Dudo-Henry of Laurenburg married Anastasia of Arnstein an der Lahn (near present day Obernhof), daughter of Count Louis II of Arnstein (Anastasia, possibly as heiress to Louis II, had claims on the Vogtship of Koblenz). Three children were born of this union: Robert (Ruprecht) I, Count of Nassau (1123–1154) Arnold I, Count of Laurenburg (1123–1148) Demudis, who married Emich, Count of Diez

Biografie

Walram was (mogelijk) een zoon van Rupert I van Laurenburg en een onbekend gebleven vrouw (mogelijk Beatrix van Limburg, een dochter van graaf Walram I van Limburg). Walram wordt van 1176-1191 vermeld als graaf van Laurenburg en daarna, vanaf 1193,als graaf van Nassau. Van 1189 tot 1192 nam hij deel aan de Derde Kruistocht onder keizer Frederik I "Barbarossa".

Hij huwde met een zekere Kunigunde, mogelijk een dochter van graaf Poppo II van Ziegenhain. Met haar kreeg hij de volgende kinderen:

Hendrik (ca. 1190 - ca. 1251), als graaf van Nassau vermeld van 1198 - 1247

Rupert (? - ca. 1239), als graaf van Nassau vermeld van 1198 - 1230. Gehuwd, 1 dochter.

Beatrix, in 1222 vermeld als non in het klooster Affoderbach bij Miehlen

Walrams kleinzoon Otto I van Nassau was de stamvader van de Nederlandse tak van de Ottoonse linie van het Huis Nassau, waar het Nederlands koninklijk huis van af stamt.
Dudo van Laurenburg (1060 - 1123) was een graaf van Nassau van 1093 tot 1117. Hij was getrouwd met Anastasia van Arnstein, de dochter van Lodewijk II van Arnstein.
Gf. v. Laurenburg 1093
1093 - 1117 urk. Seine Nachkommen nennen sich - von Nassau.

Bild: Die Ruine der Burg Nassau erhebt sich nahe dem gleichnamigen Ort Nassau auf einem Felskegel 120 Meter über der Lahn im Rhein-Lahn-Kreis und ist ein typisches Beispiel für eine Gipfelburg. Ihre Erbauer entstammten dem Haus Nassau, das heute noch die Herrscher der Nederland und Luxemburgs stellt. Erste Erwähnung findet die Burg Nassau 1093 mit Nennung des Grafen Dudo von Laurenburg in der ersten Stiftungsurkunde des Klosters Maria Laach. Da die Urkunde aber in Kreisen von Historikern alsFälschung gilt, ist diese Jahreszahl keine verlässliche Angabe. Die verbürgten Anfänge der Burg datieren um das Jahr 1100. 1120 nahmen Ruprecht I. von Laurenburg (auch Rupert I.) und sein Bruder Arnold I. den Nassauer Burgberg mitsamt dem darauf stehenden Wohnturm in Besitz. Sie ließen die Burganlage 1124 umgestalten und erweitern. Da die Burg zur damaligen Zeit jedoch auf dem Grund und Boden des Bistums Worms Stand, entwickelte sich aus der Besitznahme der beiden Brüder ein erbitterter Streit zwischen ihrer Familie und dem Domstift zu Worms, der erst 1159 durch Intervention des Trierer Erzbischofs Hillin von Fallemanien beigelegt werden konnte. Die Laurenburger Grafenfamilie verzichtete auf ihr Allodialrecht und wurde im Gegenzug vom Erzbischof mit Burg und Herrschaft Nassau belehnt. Fortan nannten sich die Laurenburger nach ihrer neuen Stammburg „Grafen von Nassau“. Erstmals geschieht dies 1160 mit Heinrich I. von Nassau.
