09630000             —IN, COUNT—SIEGFRIED, the question of whose uncertain ancestry is discussed below, 
09630000             —IN, COUNT—SIEGFRIED acquired THE—CASTLE—OF—LUXEMBOURG from THE—CHURCH—OF—S—Maximin at TRIER

10120000             THE—DUKE—OF—LOWER—LOTHARINGIA—SUZERAIN—OF—THE—COUNTY—OF—LUXEMBOURG was recorded as  
[2].
09630000—11360000    —UNTIL, in the male line of COUNT—SIEGFRIED The descendants continued to rule LUXEMBOURG 
11360000             † Count KONRAD—II. 
(see Chapter 1), 
although 
10000101—10991231    —FROM THE LATE, it was only that primary sources routinely refer to the HEAD—OF—the family as "Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG".
             The LUXEMBOURG family achieved a significant increase in influence and power 
			 following 
10000000             —IN, the marriage of Siegfried's daughter KUNIGUNDE to HEINRICH—IV—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA, 
10020000             HEINRICH—IV—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA was elected as HEINRICH—II—KING—OF—GERMANY 
and 
10140000             HEINRICH—II—KING—OF—GERMANY crowned EMPEROR HEINRICH—II
10040000             in KUNIGUNDE's brother HEINRICH was installed as HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA 
10040000             although HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA his relations with his brother-in-law the HEINRICH—II—KING—OF—GERMANY were far from smooth and
10040000             —A FEW YEARS LATER HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA was deprived of the DUCHY—OF—BAVARIA.
10170000             in  HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA was reappointed duke 
10240000             —AFTER in but HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA lost THE—DUKE title again 
10240000             † KING—HEINRICH died 
10420000—10470000    —FROM—UNTIL, KING—HEINRICH His nephew HEINRICH ruled as HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA 
10470000             † HEINRICH—DUKE—OF—BAVARIA, was murdered,in.
             There is considerable uncertainty about the reconstruction of the —EARLY, generations of the descendants of COUNT—SIEGFRIED, particularly in relation to their family connections to the GRAFEN—VON—Gleiberg (see THE—DOCUMENT FRANCONIA NOBILITY) which are discussed below.
11360000             † When COMTE—CONRAD—II. died 
11360000             —IN, COMTE—CONRAD—II. was succeeded as Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG by his 1. cousin HENRI—DE—NAMUR 
(see Chapter 2), 
HENRI—de—NAMUR, the son of COMTE—CONRAD—II. his paternal aunt ERMENSENDE.
             COMTE—HENRI—DE—NAMUR was succeeded by COMTE—HENRI—DE—NAMUR his daughter ERMENSENDE, 
			 ERMENSENDE transmitted THE—COUNTY—OF—LUXEMBOURG to HENDRIK—VAN—LIMBURG, her son by her 2. oo to Waleran IV—DUKE—OF—Limburg (see Chapter 3).
             By the late 
12000101—12991231    , imperial influence had declined considerably IN—THE—WESTern part of the kingdom of Germany[3].
             LUXEMBOURG had emerged as one of the largest German states, bound to the north by THE—COUNTY—OF—NAMUR and the bishopric of Liège, to THE—WEST by France, to the south by THE—DUCHY—OF—Lorraine and THE—COUNTY—OF—Bar, and to THE—EAST by the archbishopric of TRIER.
             Although LUXEMBOURG was a German state whose population spoke a German dialect, its rulers frequently intermarried with French and Walloon aristocracy.
             Contacts with France increased 
             —AFTER HENRI—DE—NAMUR inherited the county 
             in 
11360000             
             By the —EARLY, 
12000101—12991231    , French was replacing Latin as the language of charters and became the language spoken at the LUXEMBOURG court.
12940000             —IN, Comte HENRI—VII became a French vassal, although he did not break his ties with THE—EMPIRE[4].
             Nor did this prevent his —ELECTION as KING—OF—Germany 
             in 
13080000             
             The new king had little territorial influence in Germany outside his own county.
             In order to increase his power, he arranged the marriage of his son Jean to the heiress of the kingdom of Bohemia 
             in 
13100000             
             Thereafter, the LUXEMBOURG monarchs maintained their centre-stage position in European politics for more than a hundred years, during which time they also succeeded as kings OF—HUNGARY and Markgrafen of Brandenburg.
             —AFTER the death of Emperor SIGMUND 
             in 
14370000             LUXEMBOURG was inherited by his son-in-law ALBRECHT—II DUKE—OF—AUSTRIA.
             —ON, the death of the latter 
             in 
14390000             the territory passed to Duke Albrecht's daughter ANNA and her husband WILHELM DUKE—OF—Saxony.
             However, their accession was challenged by PHILIPPE DUKE—OF—Burgundy.
             THE—BURGundian claim was based on the transfer 
             in 
14090000             by Emperor Wenzel (Emperor SIGMUND's older brother) of a mortgage over LUXEMBOURG to Elisabeth HERZOGIN—VON—Görlitz, the daughter of Wenzel and SIGMUND's deceased younger brother Johann MarkGRAF—VON—Brandenburg.
             The representatives of LUXEMBOURG, except the nobility, acknowledged Elisabeth and her husband as their "mortgage rulers/souverains engagistes" at Arlon 
             in 
14100000             and the couple took possession of the county 
             in 
14120000             
             Elisabeth's uncle SIGMUND forbade LUXEMBOURG from paying homage to her, but he was forced to confirm her position when he was unable to redeem the pledge 
             —AFTER he inherited the county from his brother Wenzel 
             in 
14190000             
             Elisabeth sold her rights as engagiste to PHILIPPE DUKE—OF—Burgundy 
             in 
14410000             
             Burgundian forces captured LUXEMBOURG 
             in 
14430000             and WILHELM DUKE—OF—Saxony sold his claim for 120,000 Hungarian gulden.
             LUXEMBOURG was acknowledged as Burgundian territory, and 
             in 
14440000             was united with the other provinces of THE—LOW—COUNTRIES as an administrative entity under Burgundian rule[5].
             —AFTER the death of DUCHESS—Elisabeth 
             in 
14510000             Ladislas, posthumous son of ALBRECHT—V—DUKE—OF—AUSTRIA, claimed LUXEMBOURG as the direct heir of Emperor SIGMUND, and his troops occupied parts of the duchy.
             Ladislas opened negotiations with CHARLES VII—KING—OF—France to sell his rights to LUXEMBOURG, the arrangement being confirmed by his betrothal to the king's daughter, but he died 
             in 
14570000             before a final settlement was reached.
             From that time Burgundian rule was unchallenged, and LUXEMBOURG became part of the territories which eventually passed into the hands of THE—HABSBURG dynasty as a result of the marriage 
             in 
14770000             of Marie, daughter and heiress of the last Valois DUKE—OF—Burgundy, to Archduke Maximilian.
             Governors of LUXEMBOURG were appointed by THE—RULERS—OF—Burgundy: these were, in chronological order, ROBERT—DE—Virnenburg, Corneille bâtard—de—Bourgogne, Antoine Prince—DE—Chimay et—DE—Croÿ, CHARLES—COMTE—DE—Charolais (later DUKE—OF—Burgundy), RUDOLF MarkGRAF—VON—Hochberg, Everard—DE—la Marck Seigneur d'Arenberg, Claude—DE—Neufchâtel, Christoph MarkGRAF—VON—BADEN, and BERNHARD MarkGRAF—VON—BADEN[6].
             Chapter 1.
             COMTES—DE—LUXEMBOURG 963-1136
             Some ideas concerning the possible ancestry of Siegfried, 1. count of LUXEMBOURG, are discussed below.
             Another line of enquiry is suggested by the possible inheritance of the position of advocatus of the abbey of Stavelot.
             THE—CHRONICLE—OF—Alberic—DE—TROIS—Fontaines records in 905 that "Adelardus—COMES—DE—Rupe in Ardenna" was "apud Stabularius vice abbatis"[7].
             Adalard has not otherwise been identified, although his name is relatively common among the Frankish nobility in the 9th and 10th centuries (see THE—DOCUMENT FRANKS, CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY).
             A family relationship between this —EARLY, Comte Adelard and the later COMTES—DE—LA—Roche of the family of the COMTES—DE—NAMUR is suggested because the latter also held the post of advocatus of Stavelot (see LOWER—LOTHARINGIAN NOBILITY).
             In the 11.. Jh. , members of the LUXEMBOURG family are recorded as advocatus of Stavelot, the title passing to NAMUR on the marriage of Ida of Saxony, widow of FRIEDRICH of LUXEMBOURG, to ALBERT III—COMTE—DE—NAMUR.
             It is likely that the post of advocatus of Stavelot was hereditary, which suggests that it may have passed to the LUXEMBOURG family through a possible descent, either through the male or the female line, from Comte Adelard.
             1.             
             —-- .  The identity of CunigondeŽs supposed third husband, the father of Siegfried, has not been ascertained.
             The name of SiegfriedŽs oldest son suggests that he may have been called HEINRICH.
             [m as her third husband, CUNIGONDE, widow firstly of WIGERICH—III] 
             Comte—DE—Ardenne and secondly of RICHWIN [Richizo] 
             Comte [de VERDUN], daughter of --- & his wife Ermentrud --- ([0895]-after [0930/0940]).
             Her parentage and 1. marriage are indicated by  
09150000             —THE—CHARTER—DATED, to [] under which CHARLES III "le Simple" KING—OF—THE—WEST—FRANKS donated the abbeys of Hastières and Saint-Rombaut to Liège Saint-Lambert, granting the enjoyment for life to "COMES Windricus...uxoris eius...Cunegundis et unius filiorum ipsorum...nostri nepotis Adelberonis"
			 [8].
             Her 1. and second marriages are confirmed by the Vita Iohannis Gorziensis which names "episcopo Adalberone" (her son by her 1. husband) and "vitrico eius Richizone" (her second husband
			 [9].
             Her parentage is confirmed more specifically because the mother of Siegfried Count of LUXEMBOURG is named "Cynigund", daughter of "Irmindrud" daughter of Louis II "le Bègue" KING—OF—THE—WEST—FRANKS, in an 
10000101—10991231    genealogy which traces THE—ANCESTRY of Siegfried's daughter Empress KUNIGUNDE[10].
             The family relationship between COUNT—SIEGFRIED and the descendants of WIGERICH—III] 
             is confirmed by a reference in one of Gerbert's letters to Siegfried being patruus of the WIGERICH's grandson Gozelo[11].
             However, SiegfriedŽs birth is estimated to [0930/40] 
             which indicates that he could not have been the son either of WIGERICH or of Cunigonde's second husband Richwin.
             The only explanation which is consistent with all THE—SOURCES is that Cunigonde married for a third time 
             —AFTER the death of her second husband and that she was the mother of Siegfried by her third marriage.
             This necessitates a somewhat broad interpretation of "patruus" in Gerbert.
             The identity of her supposed third husband has not been ascertained.] 
             One child:
             a)             
             SIEGFRIED ([0930/40]-28;;10;;;
[0998], bur TRIER).
             The precise origin of Siegfried Count of LUXEMBOURG is unknown but it is probable that he was related to WIGERICH—III].
             Gerbert of Aurillac refers to "Godefridum, patruumque eius Sigifridum" in a letter dated 985 addressed to "dominæ Teuphanu Imperatrice" 
             —AFTER he visited the pair in prison following their unsuccessful defence of VERDUN against Lothaire KING—OF—THE—FRANKS[12], other letters clarifying that "Godefridum" was Godefroi—COMTE—DE—VERDUN, grandson of WIGERICH—III].
             09300000/09400000    * SIEGFRIEDŽS birth, estimated to [], indicates that he could not have been the son either of WIGERICH (died [09160000/09190000    ]) or of CUNIGONDE'S 2. oo RICHWIN (DIED [09230000/09240000    ]).
             Another indication that Siegfried was probably not the son of WIGERICH is his absence from —URKUNDE—VOM, 943, issued by the widow of WIGERICH's son Gozelon, which is subscribed by the latter's three known lay brothers[13].
             As discussed further above, the most likely possibility appears to be that Siegfried was the son of Cunigonde by an otherwise unrecorded third marriage.
             OTTO I—KING—OF—GERMANY transferred the convent of ECHTERNACH[EPTERNACO]to Siegfried "advocatus altaris" in [0949/50], although the CHARTER relating to this grant has not yet been identified.
             Siegfried owned scattered properties in Feulen, Hosingen and Monnerich (in the pagus Wabrensis) and at Berncastel and Roussy (in the pagus Mosellanus)[14].
             Comte [de LUXEMBOURG].
             "Sigefridus—COMES—DE—nobili genere natus" received THE—CASTLE—OF—LUXEMBOURG from S—Maximin, TRIER in exchange for property "villa Feulen in comitatu Giselberti comitis [GAU]in—PAGO—Arduenne IN—VILLA Viulna [et] [GAU]in—PAGO—Mathingouui in comitatu Godefridi comitis super ripem Alsuntie fluminis" by —URKUNDE—VOM 17;;04;;;963[15].
             Gade reproduces a photographic copy of the original CHARTER[16].
             Vogt of ECHTERNACH[EPTERNACO]from 973: "Otto imperator augustus" granted property to KLOSTER ECHTERNACH[EPTERNACO]by —URKUNDE—VOM 15;;03;;;973 which names "comitis Sigifridi fidelis nostri"[17].
             Vogt of S—Maximin at TRIER: Archbishop Egbert donated property "de beneficio Luthardi comitis mortuo sine herede" to TRIER S—PAUL by —URKUNDE—VOM 981, subscribed by "Sigefridi comitis et rerum S Maximini advocatis"[18].
             He captured Wicfred BISHOP—OF—VERDUN, who had attacked Siegfried's territory, at Vandresel but released him in [0984].
             Richer records that "Belgicæ DUX Theodericus, necnon et vir nobilis ac strenuus Godefridus, Sigefridus quoque vir illustris, Bardo etiam et Gozilo fratres clarissimi et nominatissimi" captured VERDUN in 985[19].
             Siegfried helped defend VERDUN against Lothaire KING—OF—THE—WEST—FRANKS in [0984/85], but was captured together with Godefroi—COMTE—DE—VERDUN [WIGERICHe][20].
             According to the Preface of Vitæ Heinrici et Cunegundis Imperatores, "Sigefridus Kunuz COMES, pater Chunigundis imperatricis, obiit V Kal Novembrisi"[21].
             The necrology of Ranshofen records the death "V Kal Nov" of "Sigefridus Kunuz pater Chunigundis imperatricis"[22].
             The necrology of Gorze records the death "VI Kal Nov" of "Seifredus COMES"[23].
             The year of SiegfriedŽs death is uncertain but is assumed to have been around [0998].
             Siegfried is named "Siefredi Saxonum ducis" by Rodulfus Glaber when recording the marriage of his daughter to HEINRICH—II—KING—OF—GERMANY[24].
             No other primary source has been identified which either accords the ducal title to Siegfried or directly links him to Saxony.
             The editor of the MONUMENTA—GERMANICA—HAND—SCHRIFTEN—edition of the text suggests that "all Germans called themselves Saxones" and that "all those in powerful positions adopted the title dux" ("omnes Germanos dicere videtur Saxones, omnes potentiores ducis nomine ormat")[25].
             m (09630000           —before, ) HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-;;1213;;;after 09930000             ).
             "Sygefridus COMES" reached an agreement with HEINRICH Archbishop of TRIER by —URKUNDE—VOM 17;;09;;;964 which names "coniunx mea Hadewige, filiusque noster HENRICUS"[26].
             "Sigifridus COMES cum coniuge mea Hadewihe" donated property "in valle Alsunciensi IN—VILLA Marics in comitatu Ardenensi regimini filii nostri Heinrici comitis subiacenti" to S—Maximin, TRIER by —URKUNDE—VOM 993[27].
             According to the Preface of Vitæ Heinrici et Cunegundis Imperatores, "domina Hedewich comitissa, mater Chunigundis imperatricis, obiit Idus Decembris"[28].
             The necrology of Ranshofen records the death "Id Dec" of "Hedewich com mater Chunigundis imperatricis Papie occisus"[29].
             Siegfried & his wife had [eleven] 
             children:
             i)             [SIEGFRIED (-after [Apr 985]).
             Gerbert addressed a letter to "Sigiffrido comitis filio", maybe dated to;;04;;;985[30].
             The "comitis" who was the father of "Sigiffrido...filio" is not named, although the letter refers to "parentes vestros qui nunc exules sunt...eos ad flumen Matronam II Kal;;04;;;allocuti sumus".
             This last phrase refers to the previous and subsequent letters in the compilation which name "Godefridus" and "Godefridum patruumque eius Sigefridum" in the context of their capture on that date.
             The suggestion is therefore that "Sigiffrido...filio" was the son of Siegfried Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG.
             If that is correct, the date suggests that Siegfried junior must have been one of his fatherŽs older children.
             No later reference to a son named Siegfried has been found, which suggests that he died 
             —SOON—AFTER this date.
             Another letter of Gerbert records that "filium Sigefridi" was present at the death of "Ottonem...Caesarem" [presumably identified as Emperor OTTO II who died in ROMe in 983][31].
             Havet, editor of the Gerbert compilation consulted, indicates in relation to this [0983] 
             letter that Siegfried "avait un fils qui portait le même nom que lui", referring to the [Apr 985] 
             letter[32].
             However, no part of the [0983] 
             letter indicates the identity of "filium Sigefridi", so it is not known whether he was the same person as the addressee of the [Apr 985] 
             letter.
             One son of Siegfried was present in Italy in the —EARLY, 980s: a list of those sent by Emperor OTTO II to Italy, dated 981, records "filius Sicconis comitis XXX secum ducat" in the list of nobles grouped with "Carolus dux", presumably indicating a Lotharingian contingent and therefore linking "Sicconis comitis" to Siegfried Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG[33].
             The chronology suggests that this unnamed son was probably the same as the unnamed son who was present two years later at THE—EMPERORŽs deathbed in Italy, but there is no indication that he was the son named Siegfried.]
             ii)             HEINRICH (before 09640917—10260227    
             "Sygefridus COMES" reached an agreement with HEINRICH Archbishop of TRIER by —URKUNDE—VOM 17;;09;;;964 which names "coniunx mea Hadewige, filiusque noster HENRICUS"[34].
             The likely chronology of the other members of this family suggests that HEINRICH must have been an infant —TIME—AT—THAT.

             According to Gade, the confiscation was due to a dispute over the archbishopric of TRIER to which Duke HEINRICH was manoeuvring to appoint his brother Adalbert, in opposition to KING—HEINRICH who feared that too much power would accrue to the LUXEMBOURG family[37].

             Her origin is confirmed by the necrology of Ranshofen which records the death "III IDES;;05;;" of "Liukart com soror Chunigundis imperatricis"[45].
             Her betrothal date suggests that she was one of Siegfried's older children, maybe born [0965/70].

             Rodulfus Glaber refers to the wife of EMPEROR—HEINRICH as "filiam Siefredi Saxonum ducis"[62].
             No direct indication of the date of KUNIGUNDE's marriage has been found apart from THIETMAR's references to her which show that the couple was ALREADY married when her husband was elected king[63].

             THIETMAR names a "youth Giselbert, THE—QUEEN's brother", recording his death in battle outside Pavia[67].
             The epithet suggests that Giselbert must have been one of the younger children of Siegfried, maybe born in [0980/85], although no other corroboration for this statement has been found.

             Her parentage is deduced from THIETMAR naming her son Siegfried, son of Count Gerhard, "the empress's nephew"[77].
             This is confirmed by "HENRICUS rex" granting property "IN—VILLA Morlinga [GAU]in—PAGO—Musiligeauue in comitatu Uirad" to "Abenze ex parte sue sororis contectalis Heinrici imperatoris" by —URKUNDE—VOM 10400618             [78].

             Abbess.
             No record has yet been found which identifies the abbey of which Ermentrude was abbess.
             As explained below, the following person was probably related to the family of Siegfried but the exact relationship cannot be ascertained.
             1.             
             JUDITH (-27 ;;07;;; [10370000/10380000    ], bur Bourzonville/Busendorf).
             The Notitiæ Fundationis Monasterii Bosonis-Villæ names "Adalbertus COMES marchio et uxor sua Iuditha" as parents of Gerhard, noting that they were both buried in the monastery and in a later passage noting their joint donation dated "1033 pridie Kal;;02;;;"
			 [80].
             "Iuta marchionissa Litoringie" donated property "villam nostram Mamendorf" to the abbey of S—Matthew by —URKUNDE—VOM 1030

             "Adelbertus DUX et marchio Lotoringie et Iuditta uxor mea ducissa et marchionissa" donated property "villam nostram Mamendorf" to the abbey of S—Matthew by —URKUNDE—VOM 10370612             [82].
             The testament dated 1037 of "Adalbero prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis" is witnessed by "Adelberti avunculi nostri marchionis et ducis Lothoringie et Iuditte amicte nostre uxoris sue"[83].
             It is not clear from THE—DOCUMENT whether it was Judith or her husband who was the blood relation of Adalbero.
             "Avunculus" suggests that Adalbert was Adalbero's maternal uncle.
             This cannot be correct as Adalbert's brother Gerhard is recorded as having married Siegfried's daughter Eva, who would in that case have been his niece.
             It appears more likely, therefore, that the relationship was with Judith.
             "Amita" suggests that Judith was AdalberoŽs paternal aunt.
             However, SiegfriedŽs birth is estimated to [0930/40].
             The precise relationship between Judith and Siegfried cannot be ascertained.
             m ADALBERT GRAF—VON—Metz, son of [RICHARD GRAF—VON—Metz or GERARD GRAF—VON—Metz] 
             & his wife --- (-[1;;02;;;/30 Jun] 
             1037 or after, bur Bourzonville Monastery).
             Possible niece of Empress KUNIGUNDE, the identity of her parents is not known:
             1.             
             HEMMA .
             "Hemma nostræ neptis" is named as mother of "Willihelmo comitis" to whom "Heinricus Romanorum imperator augustus" granted property "inter fluenta Souuue et Soune, Zotle et Nirine [GAU]in—PAGO—Seuna" by —URKUNDE—VOM 10160415             [84].
             The precise relationship between Hemma and EMPEROR—HEINRICH—II is not known.
             An interesting speculation is suggested by the necrology of Traunkirchen which records the death "IV Non Jan" of "Chunigundis—REGINA—fundatrix no ecclesie"[85].
             If Hemma was the niece of Queen Kunigund, and died young, it is possible that THE—QUEEN founded the monastery in her memory, associating Hemma's husband in the foundation (together with his new wife).

             in 
10190000             of "Fridericus, frater Cunigundæ imperatricis"[88].
             GRAF—IM—Moselgau.
             Vogt of Stablo and Malmédy.
             m [as her second husband,] 
             —-- [von Hammerstein], [widow of --- von Gleiberg,] 
             daughter of HERIBERT GRAF—IM—Kinziggau PFALZgraf [KONRADINER] 
             & his wife Imiza—IRMINTRUDis] 
             —-- ([0970/85]-).
             The parentage of the wife of Graf FRIEDRICH is suggested by the Vita Adelheidis which names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] 
             Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adelheid, and daughters of "Megengoz" and his wife, specifying that Irminthrudis was grandmother of [three of the sons of Graf FRIEDRICH, shown below] 
             "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis EPISCOPI, Friderici ducis"[89].
             The possibility of this personŽs earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage is suggested by the Genealogia Welforum which names [this personŽs daughter] 
             "Salice---de Glizperch Imizam nomine, Heinrici Noricorum ducis sororem et Friderici ducis Lotharingorum et Alberonis Metensis EPISCOPI" as wife of Welf—II—GRAF—VON—Altdorf (see below)
[90].
             The reference to "Glizperch" represents the earliest indication of a relationship between the LUXEMBOURG family and the GRAFEN—VON—Gleiberg (see THE—DOCUMENT FRANCONIA NOBILITY).
             One possibility is that the wife of Graf FRIEDRICH was heiress of Gleiberg.
             However, Irmtrud/Imiza is the only one of the siblings shown below in relation to whom a reference to Gleiberg has been found.
             This raises the interesting possibility that Irmtrud/Imiza, while sharing the same mother as the three brothers named in the Genealogia Welforum, may have been born from a different father who presumably held Gleiberg.
             It should be emphasised that this suggestion is highly speculative.
             Another indication of a Gleiberg/LUXEMBOURG family connection is provided by BernoldŽs Chronicon which records 
             in 
10590000             that "Fridericus et fratres eius—DE—Glichberga" rebelled against "Heinrico regi"
[91].
             It is not known which of FRIEDRICHŽs brothers may have been "von Gleiberg".
             Another possible indication of the family origin of the wife of Graf FRIEDRICH is provided by THE—CHRONICLE—OF—Alberic—DE—TROIS—Fontaines which records that "COMES Letardus—DE—Longui pater Manegaudi et Gislebertus—COMES—DE—Luscelenburch" were "nepotes" of EMPEROR—KONRAD—II
[92].
             The precise family relationships between these three persons have not been traced, but it is possible that Giselbert was related to THE—EMPEROR through his motherŽs family, which had many Franconian connections.
             Graf FRIEDRICH & his wife had [ten] 
             children:
             1.             
			  —IRMTRUD[IMIZA] 
             (-after 10550802             bur Altomünster).
             The Genealogia Welforum names "Salice---de Glizperch Imizam nomine, Heinrici Noricorum ducis sororem et Friderici ducis Lotharingorum et Alberonis Metensis EPISCOPI" as wife of Welf, specifying that her dowry was "villam Moringen et Elisinam curtem in Longobardia"
[93].
             The possibility that Irmtrud/Imiza was "Gleiberg" not "LUXEMBOURG", born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage of her mother, is discussed above.

             The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names "filiam Gisleberti comitis Odgivam" as wife of "Balduinum Barbatum" 
[96].
             "Gisleberti" in this source is presumably an error for "Friderici".
             As noted above, Giselbert brother of FRIEDRICH was recorded as a "youth" when he was killed in battle 
             in 
10040000             .
             It is not impossible that he was married with a young child at the time.
             However, another version of the Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ names "Adalberto Metensis episcopus, Fredericus DUX Lotharingie, HENRICUS DUX Baioarie, Gislebertus—COMES—DE—Salinis" as brothers of BaudouinŽs wife 
[97].
             It is unlikely that the "youth" Giselbert was the father of five children when he died.
             In addition, other primary sources confirm that the brothers HEINRICH and Adalbero were sons of FRIEDRICH.
             It is probable therefore that Ogive was also FRIEDRICHŽs daughter.
             The date of her marriage suggests that Ogive was one of her parentsŽ older children.
             The marriage was presumably arranged by EMPEROR—HEINRICH—II as part of the alliance negotiated 
             in

             FRIEDRICH & his 1. wife had [two] 
             children:
             a)             
             [daughter ([1030/45]-after 1065).
             The existence of this person is speculative: she is not named in any suriviving primary sources.
             As explained IN—THE—DOCUMENT LIMBURG, there are two alternative cases which explain THE—ANCESTRY of Hendrik—I] 
             Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG.
             In each case, a possible marriage of Udo Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG helps explain the hypotheses.
             In Alternative (1), Hendrik would have been the son of Waléran—II] 
             Comte d'Arlon.
             Consistent with this alternative, an explanation is needed for Hendrik's predecessor in Limburg, Udo, having succeeded Frédéric—DE—LUXEMBOURG DUKE—OF—LOWER—LOTHARINGIA both in Limburg and in the advocacy of Saint-Trond.
             A marriage between Udo and an otherwise unrecorded older daughter of Duke Frédéric provides one possible explanation.
             If this case, Udo would have married before he was named at Limburg 
             in 
10610000             and presumably his supposed wife would have been alive 
             in 
10650000             when Udo succeeded as avocat of Saint-Trond.
             For hyperlinking purposes only, this case would be: m ([before 1061]) Udo Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG, son of --- (-[1065/75] 
             or 1078).]
             b)             
             JUTTA [Judith] 
             Jutta is named, as shown below, as the daughter of Frédéric—DE—LUXEMBOURG DUKE—OF—LOWER—LOTHARINGIA and as the mother of Hendrik—I] 
             Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG but the identity of her husband is open to doubt.
             The question revolves around how Hendrik—I] 
             inherited THE—COUNTY—OF—Arlon, Judith and her husband forming part of the overall picture.
             Two alternative cases explaining Hendrik's Arlon inheritance are set out in detail IN—THE—DOCUMENT LIMBURG.
             Both cases confirm that Jutta was Hendrik's mother, but the conclusions concerning his father are different:
             Under Alternative (1) of these two cases, Hendrik would have been the son of Waléran—II] 
             Comte d'Arlon.
             This case is based on THE—CHRONICLE—OF—Alberic—DE—TROIS—Fontaines which records that "HENRICUS Lembergensis qui ducatum perdidit" [=Graaf Hendrik] 
             was "filius...antiqui Walerani", an earlier passage —IN—THE—same source naming "Adela comitissa Arelung vel Areleonis...soror Sigifridi [error for Friderici] 
             filia...ducis Theoderici" and her two sons "Fulconem et Galeranum", noting that Waléran "per uxorem suam" [unnamed] 
             had "dominium ultra Mosam prope Leodium" and built "castrum—DE—Lemburch"[128].
             This text is consistent with a later part of the Genealogica ex STIRpe Sancti ARNULFi which records that "GERBERGA soror Eustachii comitis, ex FRIDERICO duce" [Frédéric—DE—LUXEMBOURG DUKE—OF—LOWER—LOTHARINGIA] 
             gave birth to "filiam Iuttam" who was mother of "HENRIcum—DE—Lemburc"[129], but does not name Jutta's husband.
             Reading these two sources together, Jutta would have married Waléran—II] 
             Comte d'Arlon, son of Waléran—I] 
             Comte d'Arlon & his wife Adelais—DE—Lotharingia ([1015/30]-after [1084/85]).
             Hendrik would then have inherited Limburg from his mother and Arlon from his father.
             Under Alternative (2), Hendrik—I] 
             would have acquired Arlon from his wife, who was heiress of the county.
             In that hypothesis, he had no direct Arlon ancestry. His father could not therefore have been Waléran—II] 
             Comte d'Arlon.
             This case is based on the GESTA—TREVERORUM which records that "COMITISSA—DE—castello Aralunæ, mater...comitum Walramni et Folconis" [mother of Waléran—II] 
             Comte d'Arlon] 
             donated property to TRIER 
             —AFTER her husband died and that "huius comitissa neptem, filii filiam" [daughter of Waléran, or of his brother Foulques, or of another otherwise unrecorded brother] 
             married "Heinricus dux Lempurch" with "castellum...Lempurch" as her dowry[130].
             It should be noted that the last part of this extract from the Gesta cannot be accurate as Hendrik's wife could have had no Limburg ancestry under this Alternative (2).
             No source identities Jutta's husband.
             Kupper suggests that he was Udo Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG[131] 
             (for hyperlinking purposes only, this case would be: Udo Graaf—VAN—LIMBURG, son of ---).
             Kupper's hypothesis is not entirely satisfactory.
             While this possible identification is an obvious one as Udo was Hendrik's immediate predecessor in Limburg, Hendrik inherited Limburg from his mother whoever his father was.
             In addition, the absence of the name Udo among Hendrik's known descendants also appears to suggest some doubt about this possible identification of Jutta's husband.
             A further point is that, 
             —AFTER Udo died, Hendrik did not inherit the advocacy of Saint-Trond, which passed to OTTO—DE—Looz—COMTE—DE—Duras (who had been sous-avocat under Udo, see THE—DOCUMENT LOWER—LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY).
             The advocacy in fact passed from Otto's son Giselbert to Hendrik's son Walram in [1124/27], which suggests the resolution of a long-standing dispute which may be understandable if Hendrik's right was not inherited from Udo in a direct line.
             5.             
             ADALBERO (-10721113             bur Metz Saint-Sauveur).
             His parentage is confirmed by the Vita of Pope Leo IX which names "duo Adalberones contribules sui...prior...ducis...THEODOrici filius, alter...Hezilonis ducis germanus ac Frederici...principis natus"[132].
             The Vita Adelheidis names "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis EPISCOPI, Friderici ducis fratrumque suorum" as grandsons of "Irminthrudis", daughter of Megingoz[133].

             BISHOP—OF—Metz 1047.
             The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium records that, 
             —AFTER the death of "domnus Theodericus secundus huius nominis, Metensis episcopus" 
             in 
10480000             "Adelbero eius consanguineus, nepos Adelberonis tercii huius nominis ex fratre Theoderico duce Lotharingie seu Mosellorum" succeeded as BISHOP—OF—Metz[135].
             A later passage names "Adelberonis Metensis episcoporum" as brother of "Theoderico duce Lotharingie seu Mosellanorum" specifying that he was installed 
             in 
10600000             as advocatus of S—Trudo, the following passage naming "Fredericum ducem" so clarifying that the earlier reference was a mistake for FRIEDRICH[136].
             6.             
             GISELBERT (-14 ;;08;;; [1056/59]).
             "FRIDERICO comite eiusque fratribus, Gisilberto et Theoderico" were among the witnesses of the testament 10361112             -dated, left by "Adalbero prepositus S Paulini Treuerensis, dominus—DE—Ruscheio,—de—Serico,—de—Sarburch et—de—Berincastel", who was their paternal uncle[137].
             The primary source which confirms that FRIEDRICH was the father of the three brothers has not yet been identified.
             GRAF—VON—SALM: an exchange of property between the abbeys of S—Maximin and Malmédy by —URKUNDE—VOM 1035 is witnessed by "COMES Gislebertus—de—Salmo"[138].
             One version of the Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ names "...Gislebertus—COMES—DE—Salinis" as one of the brothers of Ogive when recording her marriage[139].
             Gade speculates that Giselbert obtained Salm by marriage[140].
             Referred to as "COMES—DE—castello Lucelinburg" and "Gilbertus Luceburgenses COMES", he succeeded his brother 
             in 
10470000             as —COMTE—DE—[LUXEMBOURG].
             Gade states that he was "a wild, warlike man who seized every opportunity to increase his power", he seized land from the abbeys of ECHTERNACH[EPTERNACO]and S—Maximin, in the district of KÖLN and from Poppo Archbishop of TRIER[141].

             —--, [widow of ---], daughter of ---.
             The name of Giselbert's wife is not known.
             Her two marriages are suggested by the Chronicon of MARIAnus Scottus which records the —ELECTION—OF—[her son] 
             "Cuonradi fratrem Herimannum, Heinrici—DE—Lacha fratris filium" as KING—OF—Germany[143].
             As noted below, this interpretation (by which Conrad Comte [de LUXEMBOURG] 
             and HERMANN [anti] 
             KING—OF—Germany would have been uterine not full brothers) provides one means of reconciling the two statements in this source which otherwise appear contradictory.
             In addition, if this hypothesis is correct, this person (whose parentage is unidentified) could have been heiress of Salm, which passed firstly to her second husband during their marriage and secondly, 
             —AFTER his death, to her son by her 1. husband.
             It should be noted that Gade also speculated that Giselbert obtained Salm through his marriage[144].
             The family relationship between King HERMANN and Conrad Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG is also indicated by the Chronicon of Bernold which records the death 
             in 
10860000             of "Chonradus COMES, frater Heremanni regis" while on pilgrimage to Jerusalem[145].

             He died while on the pilgrimage which had been required before his excommunication could be lifted[161].

             There is considerable confusion regarding the wife or wives of COMTE—CONRAD.
             It is likely that COMTE—CONRAD married twice.
             Alternatively, he may have had a single wife to whom all the references below refer, although if this was correct she would have had a considerable lifespan considering that ConradŽs grandson by his daughter MATHILDE is named 
             in 
10870000             (see below):
             [m ---—DE—POITOU, daughter of --- [DUKE—OF—Aquitaine,—COMTE—DE—POITOU] 
             & his wife ---.
             Her marriage and family origin are confirmed by  
10880000             —THE—CHARTER—DATED, under which "Regina ex prosapia non obscura comitis Cononis filia qui frater extit Conraldi viri in itinere Jerosolimitano defuncti, generi nimirum comitis Pictaviensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the foundation of the priory of Aiwaille[165].
             Fabri identifies "Conradi" as Conrad Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG, suggesting that "frater" should be interpreted to indicate brother-in-law, the text indicating that Conrad was son-in-law of "comitis Pictaviensis"[166].
             If this alleged POITOU origin of the wife of COMTE—CONRAD is correct, the problem is identifying her father.
             There are few data points to establish the chronology of the family of the comtes—DE—LUXEMBOURG, but it appears likely that COMTE—CONRAD would have been born in [1030/40].
             If this is correct, his POITOU wife would most likely have been a granddaughter of Guillaume V "le Grand" DUKE—OF—Aquitaine [Guillaume III—COMTE—DE—POITOU].
             Secondary sources have suggested that she was the daughter of Duke Guillaume VŽs son, Guillaume VII "Acerrimus/l'Aigret" DUKE—OF—Aquitaine [Guillaume V—COMTE—DE—POITOU].
             The thrust of the argument from which this conclusion is drawn is an explanation for the transmission of Longwy to the LUXEMBOURG family: Alberic—DE—Trois Fontaines names the wife of COMTE—CONRAD "COMITISSA—DE—Longui et—DE—Castris Ermensendis"[167], and COMTE—CONRADŽs daughter of the same name is later recorded as holding Longwy.
             As the family origin of the wives of the other DUKES—OF—Aquitaine/COMTES—DE—POITOU is known, the argument proceeds on the assumption that Duke Guillaume VIIŽs wife Ermesinde is the only possible source from whom Longwy could have been inherited.
             There are several difficulties with this argument.
             Firstly, the word "gener", used in the 1088 CHARTER, may have been used in a wider sense —IN—THE—same way as "frater": for example, cases have been observed in other primary sources where "gener" indicates brother-in-law.
             Secondly, it is far from certain that the passage in Alberic is factually correct: as noted below, difficulties are suggested by the reference to "Castris", which normally indicates THE—COUNTY—OF—Bliescastel which has not been connected to the wife of COMTE—CONRAD.
             Thirdly, there is considerable uncertainty over the ownership of Longwy 
             —AFTER the death of Comte Manegold in [1040] 
             (see THE—DOCUMENT UPPER—LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY).
             Fourthly, the mother of COMTE—CONRADŽs daughter ERMENSENDE (who later held Longwy) is confirmed in another CHARTER (see below) as ConradŽs known wife Clémence, although it is of course possible that Alberic simply mistook the name and that Clémence was the heiress of Longwy.
             In conclusion, there are too many variables in this situation to conclude that the wife of COMTE—CONRAD was the daughter of Guillaume VII DUKE—OF—Aquitaine.]
             [m [firstly] 
             ERMENSENDE [Ctss—DE—Longwy], daughter of ---.
             THE—CHRONICLE—OF—Alberic—DE—TROIS—Fontaines names "COMITISSA—DE—Longui et—DE—Castris Ermensendis" as wife of "Conrado comiti—DE—Luscelenburch"[168].
             "Castris" is normally the Latin name used for Bliescastel (see THE—DOCUMENT UPPER—LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY).
             No connection has been identified between ERMENSENDE's ancestors and the family of the GRAFEN—VON—Bliescastel, although her daughter's husband was GRAF—VON—Bliescastel: maybe ERMENSENDE was the heiress of Bliescastel which she passed to her daughter.
             Concerning Longwy, according to the Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium, it was held in the 1140s by Adalbert [GRAF—VON—Metz] 
             DUKE—OF—UPPER—LOTHARINGIA: the Gesta names "ALBERTum—DE—Longui castro, quem ducem", the text appearing to refer to THE—DUKE—OF—UPPER—LOTHARINGIA who was killed 
             in 
11480000             
[169].
             If this is correct, it is possible that the wife of COMTE—CONRAD was ERMENSENDE, daughter of Adalbert DUKE—OF—LOWER—LOTHARINGIA.
             However, no other record has been found of Longwy being IN—THE—POSSESSION—OF—the family of the GRAFEN—VON—Metz.
             Szabolcs—DE—Vajay suggests that the Gesta incorrectly attributes Longwy to Duke Adalbert, confusing him with ALBERT—II—GRAF—VON—Dagsburg, 1. husband of ERMENSENDE—DE—LUXEMBOURG, daughter of COMTE—CONRAD, who is later recorded as heiress of Longwy[170].
             No other indication has been found of the ownership of Longwy during the period [1140/60].
             This proposed parentage of the wife of COMTE—CONRAD should be considered as highly speculative.
             Another possibility is that Alberic misquoted the name of the countess and that ERMENSENDE was an error for Clémence.]

             Her [first]

—THE—CHARTER—DATED  
10830707             under which "Conradus COMES" founded the Benedictine abbey of MÜNSTER [Altmünster]

             The tomb of her husband at MÜNSTER records the death of "COMES Conradus...peregrinus sepultus in terra decenter non sua...VI Id Aug" 1086, the return of his body 4—YEARS later, and its burial IN—THE—PRESENCE—OF—"conjuge sua Clementia, per manum Adalberonis primicerii Metensis, HENRIci comitis, Conrardique comitis...Rodolpho abbate filio comitis"[173].

             It is possible that Clémence married [secondly/thirdly] 
             [as his second wife,] 
             Gerhard—I] 
             Graaf—VAN—Gelre.
             Her supposed [second/third] 
             marriage is confirmed by a second version of the CHARTER confirming the foundation of KLOSTER—SCHIFFENBERG, 11290000             -dated, which records THE—DONATION made by "Clementia COMITISSA—DE—Glizberc per manum Gerhardi mariti sui comitis—DE—Gelre", with the consent of "palatine comitisse Gertrudis" (identified as Gertrud von Northeim, widow of Siegfried GRAF—VON—Orlamünde, PFALZGRAFEN—VON—LOTHRINGEN, and wife of —OTTO—VON—SALM GRAF—VON—Rheineck) to whom one fourth part of the property belonged[175].
             Szabolcs—DE—Vajay dismisses this supposed [second/third] 
             marriage, considering that this second Schiffenberg document is a falsification[176].
             However, the language of THE—DOCUMENT is not obviously anachronistic, the only surprising element being the large number of witnesses.
             The doubts surrounding the authenticity of these documents is discussed at length by Wyss[177].
             "Clementia COMITISSA—DE—Glizberg cum meis nepotibus Ottone et WILHELMo" confirmed the foundation of Schiffenberg, with the consent of "domne Gertrudis palatine [et] 
             Adela filia eiusdem palatine", 11410000             —URKUNDE—VOM, 
[178].
             A highly speculative [second] 
             marriage to --- GRAF—VON—Gleiberg is also suggested by THE—DOCUMENTs relating to ClementiaŽs supposed [second/third] 
             marriage, because of the two references to her as "COMITISSA—DE—Glizberc".
             No primary source document has yet been identified in which ClementiaŽs [first] 
             husband is described as "GRAF—VON—Gleiberg".
             Nor has any record been found of THE—COUNTY—OF—Gleiberg being held by her son by this [first] 
             marriage, Guillaume—I] 
             Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG, nor by GuillaumeŽs son Conrad—II] 
             Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG.
             One possible explanation is that Clementia was not in fact heiress of Gleiberg, although she is often described as such in contemporary secondary sources, and that she was accorded the title in the 1129 and 1141 as the widow of an otherwise unidentified "GRAF—VON—Gleiberg" whom she married 
             —AFTER the death of Conrad—I] 
             Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG.
             If that is correct, this shadowy [second] 
             husband may have been the uncle or great-uncle of the cousins OTTO and WILHELM who are named above and who would have inherited the title 
             —AFTER his death.
             If Clementia was dowager COUNTESS—OF—Gleiberg, maybe continuing to hold part of the county as dower from her [second] 
             husband, this would explain the necessity of her acting jointly with her nephews in the 11290000             and 11410000             documents.
             COMTE—CONRAD & his [first] 
             wife had one child:
             1.             
             MATHILDE—DE—LUXEMBOURG (-after 1070).
             THE—CHRONICLE—OF—Alberic—DE—TROIS—Fontaines names "comitem Guilelmum—DE—Luscelenburg et ERMENSENDEm et MATHILDEm" as children of "Conrado comiti—DE—Luscelenburch" and his wife ERMENSENDE, specifying that MATHILDE was "comitissam—DE—Longui et—DE—Homborc et—DE—Castris" and that she was mother of "comitem Folmerum et sorores eius Helvidem, quam habuit COMES Gerardus—DE—Reneke dyocesis Herbipolensis et illam qua DUX—de—Bronsviic genuit filiam, que in Sclavia hereditavit"[179].
             It is improbable, from a chronological point of view, that MATHILDE was the daughter of ConradŽs wife Clementia, assuming that the latter is the same person who is named in charters dated 1141 (see above).
             Considering that MATHILDEŽs son is named 
             in 
10870000             it is unlikely that MATHILDE herself could have been born much later than [1065].
             If that is correct, Clementia would have been a centenarian when she died 
             —AFTER 1141, which is unlikely.
             It is therefore probable that MATHILDE was born from an earlier marriage of her fatherŽs.

             ALBERT of Aix records that "filium comitis Cunradi—DE—Luezelenburch, Adelberonem clericum et archidiaconum Metensis ecclesiæ, juvenem" played dice with a noble lady in an orchard outside Antioch, where they were surprised by Turks who beheaded Adalbero, kidnapped the lady, and later catapulted their heads across the plain from the ramparts of THE—CITY, dated to —EARLY, 1098 from the context[189].

             ERMENSENDEŽs correct parentage is stated in  
—THE—CHARTER—DATED

             when Ermesinde married her second husband.
             It is likely that "Regina" in this CHARTER was—REGINA—von Oltingen, whose mother was 1. cousin to Ermesinde.

             COMTE—CONRAD—II & his wife had [one possible child]:

             GRAF—VON—Gleiberg 1141/62.
             OTTO is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as the son of CONRAD—II—COMTE—DE—LUXEMBOURG, and therefore the great-grandson of CONRAD—I—COMTE—DE—LUXEMBOURG and his [second] 
             wife Clementia[215].
             That hypothesis is presumably based on the following two documents: firstly, "Clementia COMITISSA—DE—Glizberg cum meis nepotibus Ottone et WILHELMo" confirmed the foundation of Schiffenberg, with the consent of "domne Gertrudis palatine [et] 
             Adela filia eiusdem palatine", 11410000             —URKUNDE—VOM,

[217].
             These two documents show that OTTO and WILHELM—GRAFEN—VON—Gleiberg were not brothers but related more distantly ("consanguinei"), maybe 1. or second cousins.
             THE—DOCUMENTs also show that they were related to Clementia, widow of CONRAD—I—COMTE—DE—LUXEMBOURG ("consanguinea nostra").
             The reconstruction shown in Europäische Stammtafeln assumes that "nepotibus" in the 1. document should be interpreted as "grandchildren".
             However, it is not at all clear that this interpretation can be correct.
             If it was, why would they describe Clementia —IN—THE—second document using the imprecise term "consanguinea" when she would have been, respectively, their great-grandmother and grandmother?  An alternative possibility is therefore that OTTO and WILHELM were not members of the LUXEMBOURG family at all but were related to Clementia through her own family (or the family of another of her husbands), assuming that "nepotibus" should be interpreted as "nephews".
             This hypothesis would also explain why THE—COUNTY—OF—LUXEMBOURG was not inherited by any member of this "Gleiberg" family on the death of COMTE—CONRAD—II, but passed to ConradŽs paternal aunt ERMENSENDE.]

13120629             at THE—LATERAN, although only a small part of THE—CEREMONIAL could be completed because of THE—DISTURBANCEs[282].
             He allied himself with Federigo KING—OF—Sicily [ARAGÓN] 
             and prepared an expedition against Naples[283].
             He died of "marsh fever" near SIENA[284], although a rumour circulated that he had been poisoned by his Dominican confessor during mass[285].
             The Chronicon FRANCISci records the death of "HENRICUS Imperator Romanorum" by poison 
             in 
13130000             and his burial "in Pisa civitate"[286].

             PHILIPPaŽs future husband has not been identified beyond doubt.
             The reference to LUXEMBOURG suggests that he may have been THE—FUTURE HENRI—VII—COMTE—DE—LUXEMBOURG.
             If that is correct, "VALENCE" may represent "Valenciennes", an area with which the LUXEMBOURG family had connections at the time.
             No reference has been found to a Papal dispensation for such a marriage, necessary because of the close family relationship between the parties.]

             This marriage was arranged to settle the long-standing dispute with THE—DUKE—OF—Brabant over THE—DUCHY—OF—Limburg, her husband abandoning his claim to Limburg at the same time[290].

             The Chronicon Elwacense records the betrothal of "soror ducum Austriæ" and "imperatori Hainrico", specifying that the marriage did not take place because of THE—EMPEROR's death[293].
             It is not known to which sister of Duke FRIEDRICH this refers.
             However, his older sister Agnes was probably too old and may have been too actively involved in the government of AUSTRIA to have been allowed to leave in order to marry.
             His youngest sister Jutta was probably too young.
             This leaves KATHARINA as the most likely candidate, immediately 
             —AFTER the termination of her betrothal to the Lord of Piemonte.

10000101—10991231, At the end of the THE—COUNTY—OF—SALM centred on THE—TOWN now called Vielsalm in the present-day Belgian province of LUXEMBOURG, 
10000101—10991231, At the end of the THE—COUNTY—OF—SALM about 10 kilometres north of Belgium's border with the Grand DUCHY—OF—LUXEMBOURG.
             The same family acquired another estate more than 300 kilometres south-east of Vielsalm in the north-east of THE—DUCHY—OF—Lorraine, 
			 in the area around La Broque in the present-day French département of Bas-Rhein, 
			 where they constructed a second castle of Salm.
             The precise circumstances and dating of this acquisition have not been traced.
             One possibility is that 
			 it formed part of the marriage portion of AGNES—DE—MOUSSON, 
11000101—11991231    IN THE —EARLY, AGNES—DE—MOUSSON oo HERMANN—II—GRAF—VON—SALM .
             AGNES—DE—MOUSSON is described in some contemporary sources as "COUNTESS—OF—Langenstein".
             The identification of this location has not been ascertained, but 
			 the reference suggests that 
			 AGNES—DE—MOUSSON may have brought a diverse range of property holdings to the marriage.
the mid- 11000101—11991231    to late-11000101—11991231    DURING  Some time , the comital family's property holdings were partitioned: 
HEINRICH—II—VON—SALM (grandson of HERRMANN—II—VON—SALM oo AGNES—DE—MOUSSON) 
HEINRICH—II—VON—SALM based himself at the new location in Lorraine (later known as "OBER—SALM") while 
the old county of Salm in Ardenne ( "NIEDER—SALM") passed to ELISABETH—VON—SALM, 
ELISABETH—VON—SALM oo FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—VIANDEN, and 
the old county of Salm in Ardenne ( "NIEDER—SALM") passed to the descendants of ELISABETH—VON—SALM oo FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—VIANDEN their younger son.
             No primary source has been found which elucidates THE—REASONs for this partition, 
			 the precise circumstances for this partition remain obscure.
             No other case has been identified of a medieval noble family's property being split between a brother and sister, 
			 which suggests a more remote family relationship between ELISABETH—VON—SALM and HEINRICH—II—VON—SALM.
             The speculative suggestion which is discussed below is that 
			 ELISABETH—VON—SALM may have been the daughter of a deceased older brother of HEINRICH—II—VON—SALM and that 
			 the partition was arranged to avoid all the family's properties passing to another family through ELISABETH—VON—SALM as sole heiress.
             For convenience, the OBER—SALM and NIEDER—SALM branches are both shown in the present document, although 
			 from a strictly geographical point of view 
			 THE—FORMER—should be categorised with other nobility in THE—DUCHY—OF—Lorraine.

             He was elected as HERMANN KING—OF—Germany by the German nobility opposed to HEINRICH—IV KING—OF—Germany 
10810000             —IN

10810000             —DATED to early, from the context[346].
             Two sources have been identified which indicate the family origin of HERMANN [anti]KING—OF—Germany.
             The Chronicon of MARIAnus Scottus records the —ELECTION by "Suevi in autumno" of "Cuonradi fratrem Herimannum, Heinrici—DE—Lacha fratris filium" to replace "Rodulfo" as king and his installation "in nativitate Domini in Saxonia"[347], and the Casus Monasterii Petrihusensis records the appointment of "Herimannum...genere Francum—DE—Glicberg" as king 
             in 
10810000             
[348].
             HERMANN is widely called "GRAF—VON—SALM" in various modern secondary sources and shown as the son of Giselbert Comte [de LUXEMBOURG].
             However, reconciling these two sources quoted above suggests that this normally accepted family origin should be reconsidered for two reasons.
             Firstly, looking at the Chronicon, if King HERMANN shared both parents with Conrad Comte [de LUXEMBOURG], how could he also have been the son of the brother of HEINRICH—Von LAACH?  Secondly, looking at the Casus, how could King HERMANN be "genere Francum—Indicating Franconia] 
            —DE—Glicberg" if he was an agnatic member of the Lotharingian LUXEMBOURG family?  Assuming that all this speculation is correct, it is possible that King HERMANN was the same person as HERMANN GRAF—VON—Gleiberg.
             One factor which points against this hypothesis is that the father of the two sons of HERMANN GRAF—VON—Gleiberg, HERMANN and DIETRICH, is referred to as "comitis" not "regis" in the 1095 CHARTER which is quoted IN—THE—DOCUMENT FRANCONIA NOBILITY.
             A less powerful magnate, he was forced for a time to flee to Denmark[349].
             He defeated the troops of HEINRICH—IV at Bleichfelt, near WÜRZBURG 10860811             .
             It should be noted that the theory of HERMANNŽs supposed Franconian origin is contradicted by BurchardŽs HISTORY—OF—S—Gallen which records that "HERMANNus...Rex" retired "in nativam terram suam Lotoringiam" where he died[350].
             SigebertŽs Chronicle records that "HERMANNus rex" retired "Lotoringiam" and was killed by stones falling from a castle wall which he approached too closely[351].

             Other donations —IN—THE—same collection were made by the family of the Markgrafen im Nordgau in Bavaria, which suggests that Sophia may have belonged to the same family or at least was of Bavarian/AUSTRIAn origin.

             m CLEMENTIA, daughter of --- (-before 1169).
             According to Europäische Stammtafeln[382], the wife of Graf HEINRICH—I] 
             was named Clementia but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.
             According to the same source, she may have been the daughter of ALBERT—I—GRAF—VON—Dagsburg, although the basis for this speculation is not known.
             In any case, this parentage appears unlikely from a chronological point of view if it is correct that Graf ALBERT died 
             in 
10980000             given the likely date of Clementia's grandson's marriage in the 1180s. 
             If Clementia was related to the GRAFEN—VON—Dagsburg, it is therefore more likely that she would have been Clementia, daughter of Hugo [XI—GRAF—VON—Dagsburg & his wife Gertrud [van Looz].
             Graf HEINRICH—I] 
             & his wife had [two] 
             children:
             1.             
             [--- .
             [GRAF—VON—SALM?].
             The primary source which confirms the parentage of the wife of FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—Vianden has not yet been identified. 
             According to Europäische Stammtafeln she was the daughter of HEINRICH—I—GRAF—VON—SALM[383].
             However, it would have been unusual for a brother and sister to have inherited a county jointly from their father. 
             If that is what happened, the circumstances of the division of HEINRICH—I. his succession have not been ascertained. 
             A more likely explanation is that Elisabeth was the daughter and sole heiress of an otherwise unrecorded older brother of HEINRICH—II] 
             who shared the county with her paternal uncle. 
             The dates attributed to the Salm and Vianden families are too imprecise to speculate sensibly on whether the chronology supports this suggestion.

             GRAFEN—VON—SALM (NIEDER-SALM) (VIANDEN)
             THE—CASTLE—OF—Salm in the Ardenne, also known as Nieder-Salm, was situated in the commune of Viel-Salm, arrondissement Bastogne, in the present-day Belgian province of LUXEMBOURG 
[477].
             This family was studied by Vannérus in the —EARLY, 1920s 
[478].
             The primary source which confirms that WILHELM—I—GRAF—VON—SALM was the son of FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—Vianden, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln 
[479], has not been identified.
             If this affiliation is correct, WILHELM could have inherited part of THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm from his mother who is described as "comitissa Salmensis" in the 1200 CHARTER quoted below.
             In addition, Graf FRIEDRICH—II] 
             was recorded as GRAF—VON—SALM in —URKUNDE—VOM, 1171.
12140905             —THE—CHARTER—DATED, under which FRIEDRICH—I—KING—OF—GERMANY donated property to THE—TEUTONIC—KNIGHTS, was witnessed by "Heinricus—COMES—DE—Vianden, Heinricus—COMES—DE—Salmen" 
[480].
             The contiguity of these two names in the witness list suggests a family connection, with the count of Vianden enjoying seniority over the count of Salm because of the name order.
             This would be consistent with their fathers being older and younger brothers.
12000000             THE—SOURCE dated , under which [WILHELM's probable mother] 
             "Elysa comitissa Salmensis consensu filiorum nostrorum" donated "ius PATRONATUS—ECCLESIE Sigendorf" to KLOSTER—NIEDERPRÜM 
[481], confirms that the donor had more than one son but provides no indication of their names.
             THE—DOCUMENT is witnessed by the her son FRIEDRICH—III—GRAF—VON—Vianden and his wife, but no other persons in the witness list can be identified as her other sons.
             The proposed Vianden connection would also explain the introduction of the name Gerhard into the Salm family.
             The accumulation of all these indications suggests that WILHELM—I]'s possible Vianden family origin is correct, although the matter is not beyond doubt.

             As noted in the introduction to this section, according to Europäische Stammtafeln WILHELM—GRAF—VON—SALM was the son of FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—Vianden 
[482].
             As explained above, no primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct.

[484].

12140905             The chronology indicates that the person named in the CHARTERCHARTER quoted below could not have been Graf HEINRICH—II], which suggests the succession of HEINRICH—I]

             His name coming immediately 
             —AFTER HEINRICH GRAF—VON—Vianden in the witness list appears to corroborate the possible family connection between the two.

             The parentage of Gerhard has not been confirmed, but from a chronological point of view WILHELM—I—GRAF—VON—SALM could have been his father.
             If that is correct, he may have been the same person as Gerhard who was named in the 12070722             CHARTER quoted above, assuming that the latter resigned his ECCLESIAstical appointments.
             It is possible that Gerhard inherited THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm on the death of [his older brother] 
             HEINRICH—I].

[490].
             As this document represents the only case in which Gerhard's comital title is applied to Salm, his succession to Salm is uncorroborated by other sources.
             Conte di Catanzaro: "Girardus—de—Salmis...COMES Catanzarii, sacri Romani imperii Lombardie et marchie Trevisane LEGATUS..." promised to hold VERONA on behalf of Emperor FRIEDRICH—I by —URKUNDE—VOM 12340116             
[491].
             If GERHARD did succeed as GRAF—VON—SALM, 
12400515             GERHARD must have died before 
12400515             when Graf HEINRICH—II] swore allegiance as count 
(see below).]
             The factors which suggest the existence of both HEINRICH—II] 
             and HEINRICH—III] 
             as separate persons are explained below.
             1.             
             [HEINRICH—II] 
             (-[12400515/12460000    ], [maybe killed in battle Crécy ;;08;;; 1246], or 
             —AFTER 12560502             ).
             The succession of HEINRICH—II] 
             as GRAF—VON—SALM is indicated by his swearing allegiance to his suzerain, which would normally be required when a new count acceeded, which was recorded in  
—THE—CHARTER—DATED  
12400515             quoted below.
             The parentage of HEINRICH—II] 
             has not been confirmed.
             From a chronological point of view, he could have been the son of either HEINRICH—I] 
             or Gerhard.
             If the former, he may not have reached THE—AGE of majority when his father died and was passed over in favour of his possible paternal uncle Gerhard, only to succeed as count 
             —AFTER Gerhard died.
             GRAF—VON—SALM.
             "HENRIs Cuens—de—Salmes...comme notre Antecessours Conte—de—Salmes" swore allegiance to "HENRI—COMTE—DE—Lucemborch" for "le Chast et la Chastelerie—de—Salmes" by —URKUNDE—VOM 12400515             
[492].
             This document presumably indicates that HEINRICH had recently succeeded to the county, maybe following the death of Graf Gerhard.
             The date of HEINRICH—II]'s death is difficult to ascertain as the question is linked to the possible existence of HEINRICH—III] 
             which is discussed below.
             If HEINRICH—III] 
             did not exist, the charters 12521225             -dated, and 12560502             quoted below would refer to HEINRICH—II].
             One possibility is that HEINRICH—II] 
             was "Salmis in Samoye" [no title, no name] 
             whom the Chronique liégeoise—DE—1402 lists among those killed at Crécy in 124608             
[493], although this reference could apply to HEINRICH—III—GRAF—VON—SALM (Ober-Salm) (see above).
—THE—CHARTER—DATED  
12460000             issued by Clémence—DE—Rozoy, wife of HEINRICH—III—GRAF—VON—SALM (see below), indicates that her husband (assuming that he was a separate person from HEINRICH—II]) must have succeeded as count by that date.]

             She may have married secondly (1247,

             Vannérus suggests that this person was --- —VON—SALM, daughter of HEINRICH—III—GRAF—VON—SALM, who later married HEINRICH—Von Esch (see below).
             However, THE—SOURCE records her as "grevinne" which suggests that she was the widow of one of the counts of Salm.
             If that is correct, the chronology suggests that she could have been the widow of HEINRICH—II], especially if her supposed 1. husband was killed at Crécy as suggested above.]

12570600/12590721    (-[]).
             The existence of Graf HEINRICH—III] 
             as a separate person from HEINRICH—II] 
             is suggested by  
—THE—CHARTER—DATED  
12480000             quoted below which records his swearing allegiance to his suzerain for the county, such homage normally being given 
             —SOON—AFTER the accession of a new count.
             However, the situation is complicated by the existence of HEINRICH—IV—GRAF—VON—SALM (Ober-Salm) (see above) who inherited his county 
             in 
12460000             .
             It is possible therefore that the 1248 allegiance refers to him not to the count of Nieder-Salm.
             Nevertheless, the format of the 1248 document closely follows the charters which record the allegiance sworn by other counts of Nieder-Salm which are quoted below.
             The —EARLY, 
15000101—15991231    author Bertelius indicates that this document refers to THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm in Ardenne, a position which was accepted by Baron—VON—Reiffenberg in the mid—19.. Jh. , although neither author raised the possible Ober-Salm alternative 
[495].
             The chronology is tight for the Nieder-Salm case, but not impossible.
             For example, if HEINRICH—II] 
             was the son of HEINRICH—I] 
             (as discussed above), he could died without direct heirs and been succeeded by HEINRICH—III] 
             who could have been the son of Graf Gerhard.

             "HENRICUS COMES Salmensis" swore allegiance to "HENRIco comite LUXEMBURGensi, Rupensi et marchione Arlunensi" for "castrum Salmense et totam Castellaniam" by —URKUNDE—VOM 1248 "die Jovis post festum omnium Sanctorum"

             His absence from  
12590721             —THE—CHARTER—DATED, issued by his wife 
suggests that he had died before that date.

12000101—12991231    The late genealogy by Balduinus—DE—Avennis records that "tertia filia domini Rogeri—DE—Rosoic...Clementia" married "comiti—de—Salmis in Ardenna" and had one son ("Guilelmus" who married "filiam comitis Juliacensis Wilelmi") and one daughter (who married "domino—DE—Ayste" who predeceased his father, but had "filium...Robertum" although the land was inherited by "eius patruum dominum Joffredum")[502].
             The chronology of her family suggests that Clémence was born in [11950000/12200000    ], her marriage date before 1227 narrowing the range to [11950000/12120000    ].

             The late 
12000101—12991231    genealogy by Balduinus—DE—Avennis records that "tertia filia domini Rogeri—DE—Rosoic...Clementia" married "comiti—de—Salmis in Ardenna" and had one son ("Guilelmus" who married "filiam comitis Juliacensis Wilelmi") and one daughter (who married "domino—DE—Ayste" who predeceased his father, but had "filium...Robertum" although the land was inherited by "eius patruum dominum Joffredum")[513].
             As noted above, this source does not confirm the name of WILHELM's father.

             The late

             Her 1. marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[515], but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified.
             Vannérus indicates that "il est possible qu'avant son mariage avec HENRI d'Esch, [elle] 
             ait contracté une première union, fort éphémère", quoting the life of Yolande Gräfin—VON—Vianden which records that FRIEDRICH—VON—Vianden, eldest son of Graf HEINRICH—I], married "dy grevinne—VON—SALMen" 
             in 
12470000             
             —AFTER 31 Mar, before dying the following 10 Nov[516].
             An alternative possibility is that FRIEDRICH's wife was the widow of HEINRICH—II—GRAF—VON—SALM (see above), which is suggested by her being called "grevinne" IN—THE—SOURCE.

             The reconstruction of the later generations of the Salm (Nieder-Salm) family presents special problems.
             As can be seen from the outline presented below, few primary sources confirm precise family relationships between the late 13th and late 14th centuries.
             In addition, there are 4 shadowy counts whose existence is based either on speculation about the implication of particular primary sources whose interpretation is not obvious or on references in an —EARLY, 
17000101—17991231    secondary source which appear credible but whose complete reliability cannot be assumed.
             The reconstruction set out below reflects THE—DOCUMENTary evidence available at the time of writing, but should not be considered as representing a definitive solution to all the problems.
             This reconstruction differs considerably from what is shown in secondary sources, for example Europäische Stammtafeln[517].

             Her marriage is dated to before 1281 because her son HEINRICH—IV]

             acted as guarantors for "Richarda iam dicta nostra nepte et Johanne filio eiusdem", by —URKUNDE—VOM 13180601

             taken together with the later inheritance by her descendant of THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm as nearest heir to HEINRICH—VI—GRAF—VON—SALM (who died 
             in 
14150000             see below).
             Two factors suggest that "neptis" in the 13180601             document should be interpreted as great-niece not niece (in relation to Graf Gerhard [V]), in which case Richardis was the granddaughter of WILHELM—II—GRAF—VON—SALM and his wife Richardis—VON—JÜLICH.
             Firstly, the chronology is more favourable to Richardis being Gerhard [V]'s great-niece, given the marriage date of Richardis—VON—JÜLICH shown above and Johann—III] 
             —VON, Reifferscheid's son and successor being a minor when Johann died.
             Secondly, this family relationship provides the best explanation for the Papal dispensation 13480117             -dated, for the marriage of Johann—III]'s probable daughter Ermesinde to Johann—II] 
             —VON, Bilstein (see THE—DOCUMENT SAXONY NOBILITY)[542].
             That dispensation refers to 4° consanguinity between the parties to the marriage.
             However, Johann—II] 
             —VON, Bilstein was separated by only 3° consanguinity from their common ancestor, WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—JÜLICH.
             Johann—III] 
             —VON, Reifferscheid's wife being the great-niece of Graf Gerhard [V] 
             would provide the necessary 4° consanguinity connection.
             The identity of Richardis's father as WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM also requires some explanation.
             A completely different source (relating to Ostrevant) shows that the mother of Renier—DE—Choiseul's wife (see below) was "---—DE—Prouvy" and that Renier's wife was therefore the daughter of WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM, as shown below.
             Renier's descendant unsuccessfully claimed THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm, following the death 
             in 
14150000             without direct heirs of HEINRICH—VI—GRAF—VON—SALM, but THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG judged in favour of JOHANN—VI] 
             —VON, Reifferscheid who was one of Richardis's descendants (see judgment 14550205             -dated, quoted below).
             The acceptance of the Reifferscheid claim over the Choiseul claim was presumably based on the family seniority of the Reifferscheid candidate (although the 14550205             does not compare the merits of the two claims).
             If that is correct, the only reasonable explanation is that Richardis was the older sister of the wife of Renier—DE—Choiseul and was therefore also the daughter of WILHELM—III].
             This conclusion is consistent with Vannérus stating that the only "proof" submitted by the successful Reifferscheid claimant to THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG was that his relationship with HEINRICH—VI—GRAF—VON—SALM "ne dépassait pas le huitième degré"[543]: if their common ancestor was WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM, three generations separated HEINRICH—VI] 
             from him, while five generations separated JOHANN—VI] 
             —VON, Reifferscheid[544], totalling 8° consanguinity.
             It should be noted that 
14550715             the judgment of THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG DATED, 
14550715             relating to the Choiseul-Aigremont

             However,

             A memoire concerning Ostrevant, presented to PHILIPPE—VI—KING—OF—France and probably dated to [1338], records that "messire Gerars—de—Sorel en VERMANDOIS" married "la fille du—COMTE—DE—Samnes", who later married "monseigneur Renier—DE—Choysel", adding that she had "un chastel dit Prouvy, fief d'Ostrevant enclavé en Haynaut" inherited from "une oncle à la dame" and that "le sires—de—Sorel" lost a claim to Prouvy "à Mons" but won an appeal "à Paris au Roy à Bouchaing", adding that "li enfans—DE—la femme audit chevalier—Interpreted as meaning her son by her 1. marriage, although if that is correct his line must have failed without heirs as Isabelle's descendants by her 2. oo were later recorded as SEIGNEURS—de—Prouvy]" still retained possession to the continuing displeasure of the "comte et comtesse—DE—Haynaut"[547].
             Both the chronology and the reference to Prouvy suggest that Isabelle was the daughter of WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM and his wife [Catherine] 
            —DE—Prouvy, which in turn suggests her birth date range as shown above (which is also consistent with the probable date of her 1. marriage).
             Père Anselme names her "Isabelle", without citing THE—SOURCE on which this information is based[548], although the name is confirmed by  
13440725             —THE—CHARTER—DATED  quoted below.
             The chronology suggests that Isabelle's second husband was Renier—II] 
            —DE—Choiseul, although the possibility that she was the wife of Renier—I] 
             cannot be excluded, in which case she would presumably have been his 2. oo considering his estimated birth date shown in CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-BASSIGNY, BOLENOIS.
             Her 2. oo is dated from her 1. husband having been killed at the —BATTLE—OF Courtrai (13020711             )[549].
             "Madame Ysabel—de—Saumes dame—DE—Aigremont—DE—Manlouez et—DE—Chery" made a declaration 13440725             -dated, in a dispute involving the convent of Val-le-Roy (relating to property donated by the Salm family in the mid-
12000101—12991231    , see above), a note on the reverse of which states that "messires Guillaume—DE—Choisel chevalier et Gérars ses frers escuiers" passed similar acts "peu APRÈS la Toussaint 1345" as well as "nobles homs messires Reniers—DE—Choysel chevaliers sire d'Aigremont" at "la chandeleur 1345 [presumably 13460202             N.S.]"[550].
             THE—REASON for the delay before the two later declarations has not been ascertained, unless it was the intervening death of her husband (see CHAMPAGNE for discussion of his date of death).
             Montloué and Chéry were Salm properties, inherited from Clémence—DE—Rozoy who married WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM (see above), and were therefore presumably Isabelle's dowry.
             The following document shows that Isabelle—VON—SALM was still living in —EARLY, 1351: "Jeanne épouse—DE—N.—DE—Halebeque"—Identified as Jeanne—DE—Grandpré, wife of Adam—DE—Hellebecq, see HAINAUT] 
             pleaded against "Isabelle—de—Salm dame d'Aigremont", who had claimed revenue from "Maubrecis-le-Grand et Maubrecis-le-petit, appartenant à Jeanne et saisis alors pour défaut d'hommage", by —URKUNDE—VOM 13500312             (presumably O.S.)[551].
             Père Anselme records that Isabelle's descendant Gillequin—DE—Choiseul Seigneur d'Aigremont claimed the right to inherit THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm in the imperial court 
             in 
14550000             
[552].
             Vannérus said that he could find no document which confirmed Anselme's statement
[553]
			 , although Vignier's mid-
16000101—16991231    HISTORY—OF—the bishopric of Langres refers to "l'arbre généalogique produit dans le Conel—DE—LUXEMBOURG en 1455" in support of the claim and quotes a judgment of THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG 14550715             -dated, 
[554].
             
             In any case, such a claim had little chance of success as Fahne noted that the 1552 "Rentbuch des Petrus—de—Salice" records a CHARTER, —TIME—AT—THAT in the archives of Bedbur, under which Graf HEINRICH—VI] 
             appointed the Herr—VON—Reifferscheid [then JOHANN—V][555]]

[558].
             
             The CHARTER provides no indication of the identity of Marie's husband or why her marriage should have resulted in the vacancy in the custodianship of the monastery.
             No explanation has been found for Marie to have been described as "domina" in this document, which suggests a position of authority as heiress of the territory or through her marriage to the "dominus", neither of which appears consistent with membership of a comital family, although it should be noted that her supposed brother Graf HEINRICH—IV] 
             is named "HENRIs chevaliers sires et cuens—de—Saumes" in —A—CHARTER—12971200             -dated, (see above)[559].

             It is also confirmed by  
12880523             —THE—CHARTER—DATED, under which the count of Gelre sold his rights to Limburg to HenrI—COMTE—DE—LUXEMBOURG, which names "Willelmum primogenitum comitis—de—Salmis in Ardenna" as one of the guarantors[563].

             No primary source has been identified which states unequivocally that HEINRICH—IV] 
             was the son of WILHELM—III].
             However, this parentage is the inevitable conclusion of the following line of argument: 
			 (1) 
14150000			  in, HEINRICH—IV]'s line of descent failed on the death of his supposed grandson HEINRICH—VI]; 
             (2) rival claims to the county were resolved 14550205             when THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG found in favour of Johann Herr—VON—Reiffersheid as "heritier du...défunct Comte HENRI—de—Saulme en Ardenne" (see below); (3) Johann—VON—Reifferscheid was descended from Richardis, who is shown above as the sister of HEINRICH—IV]; (4) if HEINRICH—IV] 
             had, for example, been the younger brother of WILHELM—III] 
             or the son of his otherwise unrecorded deceased younger brother, it is likely that Richardis would have have succeeded to at least part of THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm on the death of her father; (5) no record has been found that Richardis claimed the county when her father died.
             HEINRICH—IV]'s date of birth is estimated from his having been a knight in the —URKUNDE—VOM 12971200             quoted, 
             —WHEN he must have been a young adult.
             This position is supported by Vignier, in his mid-
16000101—16991231    HISTORY—OF—the bishopric of Langres, which refers to "l'arbre généalogique produit dans le Conel—DE—LUXEMBOURG en 1455" in support of the Choiseul-Aigremont claim to THE—COUNTY—OF—Salm and quotes a judgment of THE—COUNCIL—OF—LUXEMBOURG 14550715             -dated, which names "un fils...HENRY" as "seul héritier" of WILHELM—III—GRAF—VON—SALM and ancestor of "[la] 
             seule héritière...Marie" [daughter of HEINRICH—VI—GRAF—VON—SALM, see below] 
             who married "Otte Rhingraue"[564].
             GRAF—VON—SALM.
             Three charters suggest that HEINRICH—IV] 
             followed a pattern of changing allegiance between the counts of LUXEMBOURG and Hainaut as his suzerain.
             "HENRIs chevaliers sires et cuens—de—Saumes" swore homage to JEAN—De—Avesnes—COMTE—DE—Hainaut for "le maison—de—Saumes,—DE—toute le conteit et les apartenanches", promising that "me...dame et mère metra son consentement as cozes devantdites", by —URKUNDE—VOM 12971200             [565].
             The mention of HEINRICH's mother in this document was either required in relation to Prouvy, which was a fief of Hainaut as shown by THE—DOCUMENT relating to Ostrevant which is quoted above, or is an indication that HEINRICH—IV] 
             was underage (although if that is correct, it is unlikely that he would have been "chevaliers" at the time).
12971200             This document shows that HEINRICH swore allegiance to Hainaut for all his territories.
             Gerhard GRAF—VON—JÜLICH and Waleran Seigneur—de—Montjoie renewed the peace between "parentelam nostram" and THE—CHURCH—OF—AACHEN, recording that "nostri consanguinei dnus ? [no name] 
			  —COMES—DE—Salmen, dnus Rulf [error for "Johs" or similar, representing Johannes?] 
             et FRATER—EIUS Heinricus" had invaded THE—CHURCH's properties, by —URKUNDE—VOM 13010801             
[566].
             
             "HENRICUS—COMES—DE—Salmis" renounced claims against THE—CITY of KÖLN, 
             —AFTER disputes involving "ROLANDi—de—Leopardo", by —URKUNDE—VOM 13030727             
[567].
             
             The Salm allegiance reverted to LUXEMBOURG by 1307, as shown by the following document: "HENRI—COMTE—DE—Salmes" notified that "ses prédécesseurs les COMTES—DE—Salmes" had sworn hommage to the comtes—DE—LUXEMBOURG for "le château et la châtellerie—de—Salmes" and renewed this homage ("renouvelle cet hommage") to "HENRI—COMTE—DE—Luxemburch" by —URKUNDE—VOM 13070111             which also stated that "nous avons promis et sommez tenus, pour nous, nos hoirs ou successeurs, contes—de—Salm, que jamais à nul jour nous ne batterons monoie" and was sealed by "Gérard seigneur—de—Huffalize son cher cousin" [his precise family relationship with HEINRICH—IV], other than as his future father-in-law, has not been ascertained][568].
             Vannérus uses the wording of this CHARTER as the starting point for what appears to be a flawed argument that Graf HEINRICH—IV] 
             died in the late 13th/early 
13000101—13991231    and was succeeded by another Graf HEINRICH, who must have been his paternal uncle, to whom all later sources naming HEINRICH refer[569].
             His starting point is the discovery that coins were struck in the name of Graf HEINRICH, 
             —AFTER he swore allegiance to the—COMTE—DE—Hainaut 
             in 
12970000             
[570].
             Vannérus then argues that, 
			 if the 13070111             CHARTER had referred to Graf HEINRICH—IV], 
			 its wording should have specified that "nous...ne batterons plus monoie", in recognition that he had ALREADY minted money IN—THE—PAST, which seems to be an overly fine argument on which to base his hypothesis.
             Vannérus does admit that "cette hypothèse, cependant, hâtons-nous—DE—le dire, ne s'étaye que sur un faisceau—DE—présomptions et nous l'adoptons, jusqu'à preuve contraire, que parce qu'elle s'accorde mieux avec l'ensemble—DE—nos renseignements sur les COMTES—DE—Salm", and it is clear that he has not taken into account the five points which are set out at the start of this paragraph dealing with HEINRICH—IV].
             It is suggested that Vannérus's hypothesis should be rejected as not reflecting the full facts of the case.
             [—URKUNDE—VOM, 1315 suggests that Graf HEINRICH's allegiance to LUXEMBOURG was further renewed —TIME—AT—THAT: "HENRICUS COMES Salmensis" swore allegiance to "domino HENRIco comite LUXEMBURGensi" for "castrum et castellaniam—de—Salamis" by —URKUNDE—VOM 13150314             
[571].
             
             Vannérus argues convincingly that this CHARTER is misdated from 13400515             so does not refer to Graf HEINRICH—IV][572].]

             [JOHANN—II] 
             (-after 1378).
             GRAF—VON—SALM.
             The existence of this person is very doubtful.
             It is based on three passages, dated between 1361 and 1378, in Christophe Butkens's Trophées—de—Brabant, quoted below.
             However, as will be seen, the primary sources on which the second and third of these passages are based do not name the GRAF—VON—SALM involved in THE—EVENTs in question.
             This raises the possibility that Butkens mistook the count's name, which may have been mistranscribed from THE—SOURCE for the 1. passage.
             The likelihood of this possibility is increased because Johann's supposed mother was named in —URKUNDE—VOM, 13600411             with her son HEINRICH—VI] 
             (see above), who was himself named as GRAF—VON—SALM IN—THE—SOURCE 13650326             -dated, quoted below.
             Butkens records "...Iean—COMTE—DE—Salme..." among those who subscribed  
—THE—CHARTER—DATED  
13611019             settling a dispute between Wenzel Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG and THE—TOWN—OF—Louvain, without citing the primary source on which this information is based[590].
             Butkens names "...Iean—COMTE—DE—Salme en Ardenne..." among "selon un ancien cathalogue...Du quartier du Wallon-Brabant...les principaux des troupes auxiliaires" who fought at Bastweiler 13710821             against Wenzel Comte—DE—LUXEMBOURG, although the "cathalogue" itself names only "14 Route: Le—COMTE—DE—Salme Capitaine..."[591].
             Butkens records that "Iean—COMTE—DE—Salmes en Ardenne" assembled troops against the bishopric of Liège in LUXEMBOURG 
             in 
13780000             and burned "tout le Condrois"
[592].
             This appears to be based on Raoul—DE—Rive's Gesta Pontificum Leodiensium (dated to the mid-
14000101—14991231    ) which records that "COMES Salmensis" (unnamed) attacked "agrium Condrosianum"[593].

             The primary source which confirms the parentage of the wife of FRIEDRICH—II—GRAF—VON—Vianden has not yet been identified.
             According to Europäische Stammtafeln, she was the daughter of HEINRICH—I—GRAF—VON—SALM[623].
             However, it would have been unusual for a brother and sister to have inherited a county jointly from their father.
             If that is what happened, the circumstances of the division of HEINRICH—I. his succession have not been ascertained.
             A more likely explanation is that Elisabeth was the daughter and sole heiress of an otherwise unrecorded older brother of HEINRICH—II] 
             who shared the county with her paternal uncle.
             The dates attributed to the Salm and Vianden families are too imprecise to speculate sensibly on whether the chronology supports this suggestion.

             OTHER NOBILITY in LUXEMBOURG
             A.
             SEIGNEURS—de—OUFFALIZE
             Houffalize is located in the present-day Belgian province of LUXEMBOURG, adjacent to the north-western part of the Grand-Duchy of LUXEMBOURG, about 10 kilometres north-west of Clairvaux and 25 kilometres north-west of Vianden.
             Thierry d'Orjo suggests that "le noyau—DE—la future terre—DE—Houffalize, qualifiée plus tard—DE—pairie du comté—DE—Laroche" was transmitted to the family shown here from WINAND—VAN—Gronsfeld's Walcourt wife[684].
             1.             
             WINAND—VAN—Gronsfeld ).
             Thierry d'Orjo suggests that WINAND was "probablement frère cadet—DE—PHILIPPE—DE—Gronsveld" with whom he is named in sources dated 1145 and 1148, and that they were maybe sons of Giselbert—VAN—Gronsveld who was named 
             in 
11030000             : he cites, among other sources, Ryckel who records that "les avoueries d'Olne et—de—Soiron", held by Giselbert in the —EARLY, 
11000101—11991231    , were later held by Thierry—DE—Houffalize[685].
             The family connections appear clear, although the possibility of an intervening generation cannot be excluded considering the chronology of the Walcourt family: for example the marriage of Wéry—II] 
            —DE—Walcourt, brother of WINAND's wife, is dated to [1164/70], which suggests that he and his sister were born in the —EARLY, 1140s which is late if the sister's husband was ALREADY adult 
             in 
11450000             .

             The Chronicon Hanonense names "Beatrix" as daughter of "HENRI quens—DE—Durbuis" and her husband "Winant le signour—DE—Hufalise"[687], although according to Europäische Stammtafeln[688]

             Einundzwanzigstes Kapitel: Das Pfarrwesen Lobberich's
             Soweit die geschichtlichen Nachrichten zurückreichen, war der PFARRE—LOBBERICH—PATRONAT IN DES CISTERZIENSER—NONNEN—KLOSTER—HELISSEN BESITZ, in der brabantischen STADT—HALEM, im Quartier—VON—Löwen.1) Fahne schreibt hierüber in Band I. I. Abt. S. 281: "Das Patronat der Kirche zu Lobberich samt dem Zehnten, worauf es haftete, war schon früh in die Hände des Frauenklosters zu Halem (dieses Cisterzienser-Nonnenkloster hieß eigentlich Rocheem, später Rottheem und lag in der brabantischen STADT—HALEM, jetzt Halen an der Gete, im Quartier—VON—Löwen) gelangt, und—VON—diesem den GRAFEN—VON—MOLBACH in der Art abgetreten, daß diese den halben Zehnten für 18—SCHILLINGe jährlich in eigene Benutzung bekamen, die andere Hälfte aber dem Pastor—VON—Lobberich überlassen mußten, der dafür 5—SCHILLINGe jährlich dem KLOSTER zu bezahlen hatte. 
			 ALVERADIS—VON—MOLBACH, die letzte dieses Grafengeschlechtes, übertrug mit ZUSTIMMUNG—DES—KLOSTER—Halem ihr PATRONAT—RECHT mit halbem Zehnten 1221 (Lacombl. II, 52) der ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN,²) wo nach ihrem Tode, 1245 am 26. ;;04;;, ihr letzter Eheherr OTTO—VON—WICKRATH, bestätigte (Lacombl.II, 151). Auch der Graf Reinrad—VON—GELDERNund dessen oo MARGARETHA, welche an dem Patronate Ansprüche zu haben, behauptet hatten, verzichteten auf ihre Rechte zu Gunsten der ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN, wogegen diese 1328, den 30. August, sich verpflichtete, die Aniversarien der Grafen und Gräfinnen—VON—GELDERN zu feiern. (Ryhoff, I. 240.)" Soweit Fahne in Bocholtz I. Band.Er kann aber nicht in Allem RECHT haben, denn die eine Hälfte des Zehnten zu Lobberich gehörte den GRAFEN—VON—GELDERN und wurde i.J. 1364 vom HERZOGe EDUARD—VON—GELDERN an den Grafen Johann—VON—Mörs verpfändet; diese "Mörs'sche Pfandschaft" bestand noch zu Ende des vorletzten Jahrhundert.

			 Einige Nachrichten über DIE—GRAFEN—VON—MOLBACH werden daher nicht ohne Interesse sein. 
			 Norrenberg 1) schreibt: 
			 "Die älteste uns bekannte, in GREFRATH begüterte Familie ist die des GRAFEN—VON—MOLBACH. 
			 Wie Kremer²) bereits andeutete und Müller³) wie uns dünkt, treffend nachgewiesen, sind DIE—MOLBACH und NÖRVENICH identisch. 
			 Es war eins der Geschlechter, die als nach Ezzo's Tode (10350000             ) der Stern des rheinischen Palatinates allmählich erlosch, 
			 namentlich aus den Getreuen Ezziden und Hezelinen stammend, 
			 mächtig in den Vordergrund unserer Provinzialgeschichte eintraten.

11770524			 —NACH—DES ALBERT—GRAF—VON—MOLBACH—NÖRVENICH Tode beschloß DIE—GRÄFIN—ADELHEID dem Andenken des Seligen durch die Gründung eines KANONIKEN—STIFT in GREFRATH ein bleibendes Monument zu setzen. 
11770524			 DIE—GRÄFIN—ADELHEID schenkte dazu den in GREFRATH gelegenen Herrenhof, ad campum und einige Gefälle in NÖRVENICH, 
11770524			 Poll, 
11770524			 Ludendorf, 
11770524			 Dernach und 
11770524			 Kleinwinter, sowie 
11770524			 DIE—GRÄFIN—ADELHEID auch jeden MINISTERialen ihres Dominiums verpflichtete, DER—NEUEn Stiftung testamentarisch ein Bestimmtes zu vermachen. 
11770524			 Die Advokatur oder SCHUTZ—VOGTei solle bei dem Geschlechte und den Erben des ALBERT—GRAF—VON—MOLBACH—NÖRVENICH bleiben. 
11770524			 —AM, Diese Stiftung ward durch GRÄFIN—ADELHEID, ihrer Tochter Alverad und ihrem Schwiegersohne, dem Gemahl Alverad's WILHELM—VON—JÜLICH vollzogen. 
11770524			 Der genannte Stiftungsfond bestand mit Ausnahme des GREFRATHer Hofes, aus NÖRVENICH'schen Allodien; 
11770524			 ob dieser dagegen auf NÖRVENICH'sches oder Kuik'sches Gut war, ist beim Fehlen aller Nachrichten nicht zu bestimmten. 
11770524			 Wo der Herrenhof ad campum gelegen, ist ebenso ungewiß, wie denn überhaupt über das fernere Schicksal der Adelheid'schen Stiftung und eine eventuelle Ausführung nichts Sicheres bekannt ist. 
11770524			 (Der Herrenhof ist wohl der spätere "Wehmshof" oder die jetzige Pastorat zu GREFRATH, wie gleich näher ersichtlich ist).

			 Wir vermachen daher der Kirche den in derselben Pfarre liegenden Herrenhof ad campum, welcher 18 solidi aufbringt, mit allem, was zu ihm gehört. 
			 In der Pfarre NÖRVENICH auf dem Landgut Rohde schenken wir ein Grundstück, welches 11—MALTER WEIZEN aufbringt. 
			 In Poll schenken wir ein Grundstück, das 18—MALTER Weiten abwirft, 
			 eins in Ludendorp, welches 10—MALTER WEIZEN aufbringt und 10 Capaunen;

12190000             —SEIT, In dem Besitze des Kirchenpatronates zu GREFRATH, und des daselbst zum "Wedenhofe (Pastorat) gehörigen Zehnten, finden wir ebenfalls die 11300000             gestiftete ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN.1)
             Durch wen und wann KNECHTSTEDEN in diesen Besitz gekommen, ist unbekannt. Aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach hat KNECHTSTEDEN ihn der Freigebigkeit derselben Persönlichkeit zu verdanken, durch welche DIE—ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN auch in den Besitz des Kirchenpatronates und des Zehnten in Lobberich gelangte, nämlich der ALVERADIS—GRÄFIN—VON—MOLBACH. Die älteste Urkunde,—VON—der Verbindung GREFRATH's mit KNECHTSTEDEN datiert vom Jahre 1219, in welchem HONORIUS—III—PAPA unter den vom ihm bestätigten Gütern der Abtei, auch DIE—KIRCHE—VON—GREFRATH nebst ihren Pertinenzien erwähnt.²) In der vom KAISER—FRIEDRICH—I. ausgestellten Bestätigungsurkunde der KNECHTSTEDENer Besitzungen³) vom Jahre 1155 ist GREFRATH noch nicht genannt; der Erwerb des GREFRATHer Patronates fällt also zwischen 1155 und 1219. Im Jahre 1234 erfolgte eine neue Bestätigung der abteilichen Besitzungen—VON—Seiten des PAPA GREGOR IX., und wird unter denselben auch ein Hof zu GREFRATH aufgeführt.4) (Es ist dies der spätere "Wedenhof" oder "Wehmhof" (Pastorat) zu GREFRATH, welcher außer den Latengütern einen "Beifang"—VON—77—MORGEN Ackerland und 18—MORGEN Holzgewachs hatte. 
1618 wurde der Ertrag auf 750 Daler abgeschätzt. 
 
16180725             —AM, wurde dieser Hof, dessen Einkünfte —BIS—DAHIN an DIE—ABTEI abgeliefert wurden, mit Genehmigung des Bischofes—VON—Roermond dem Pastor und dem Kaplan zu GREFRATH zur Bestreitung ihres Unterhaltes angewiesen.)

Wie wir bereits wissen, waren DIE—VON—MOLBACH auch in GREFRATH begütert, und also die Möglichkeit nicht ausgeschlossen, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich,

             zu Lobberich liegen folgende urkundliche Nachrichten vor: 
			 Bereits unter dem ERHARD STRALGEN 39. Abt—VON—KNECHTSTEDEN, welcher 
15430000—15730000    bis zu seinem Tode, die Abtswürde bekleidete und 
vordem Pfarrer zu Lobberich war, 
wurde ein VERTRAG—ZWISCHEN—diesem und dem Konvent KNECHTSTEDEN einerseits und den Geerbten und Einwohnern Lobberich's andererseits verabredet und 
beschlossen, wonach DIE—ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN den Einwohnern Lobberich's ihren halben Zehnten gegen jährliche Lieferung einer bestimmten Taxe Früchte für immer überließ1), 
dagegen DIE—GEMEINDE Lobberich "dem Gotteshaus KNECHTSTEDEN des Kirspelshof, von diesem genannt, darauf ein anwesender Pastor zu Lobberich wohnet,
 mit Land, Sand und allem Zugehör, RECHT und Gerechtigkeit, alle Zeit ewiglich erblich und eigentümlich habe, nutze und gebrauche, 
 dagegen aber jährlich erblich 11—MALTER Roggen und 11 Geldgulden, die von alters her (von diesem Hofe) der Kirche—VON—Lobberich bezahlt worden, weiter bezahle." 
 Dieser Vertrag, der zwar nicht bestätigt, blieb stillschweigend weiter bestehen.
15750000             —J—IM, ersuchten der Adel, die Scheffen, Geschworenen und Vorsteher Lobberich's den Abt und Konvent zu KNECHTSTEDEN, das früher getroffene Abkommen zu bestätigten. 
 
16210712             —AM, bestätigte hierauf der 42. Abt—VON—KNECHTSTEDEN, Leonhard TEVEREN, sowie der Ordensgeneral und der ganze Konvent dieses Abkommen "für ewige Zeiten" unter folgenden Bedingungen. 
DIE—ABTEI enthält sich zu ewigen Zeiten des Einscheuerns der Zehntfrüchte aus dem Felde, dagegen liefert DIE—GEMEINDE Lobberich "für ewige Zeiten" jährlich auf S—Andreas-Aposteltag oder längstens acht TAGE darnach, 85 par Korns, halb Roggen, halb Hafer und 100 Steine Flachs, gute Marktwaare, wie Erbrente, frei und kummerlos; ferner erhält DIE—ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN den bisher gewesenen "Kirspelshof", mit seinem Baumgarten, Ländereien, Busch und Gerechtigkeit, mit der Berechtigung, denselben verkaufen, versetzen, seines gefallens und besten Nutzens nach, ohne jemandes Einrede; dagegen soll DIE—ABTEI—KNECHTSTEDEN dem Kirchspiel oder der Kirche "erblich und ewiglich" wie von altersher dieser Kirspelshof auch gethan hat, jährlich 11—MALTER Roggen und 11—GOLD—GULDEN zahlen. 
Auch
             ANMERKUNG—1) Vergl. das Kapitel der Zehnte und die Lobbericher Zehntherren.
             soll DIE—ABTEI den "Schatz" (Steuer), den die Vorsteher auf den Kirspels- (jetzt Pfarr-)Hof gesetzt haben, jährlich bezahlen.
             Ferner, was der Abt und Konvent—VON—KNECHTSTEDEN sonst als Zehntherr zu thun schuldig war, bleibt für "ewig" fortbestehen, nämlich "ein Sprinckrindt und einen Beer" (Zuchtstier und Eber) zu halten und das Dach des Chores der Kirche in Reparation zu unterhalten."1)
             Der nunmehrige Pfarrhof wurde schon vor dem definitiven Besitze KNECHTSTEDENs von einem Brandunglücke heimgesucht. 
Der Catalogus Pastorum ²) enthält hierüber folgende Nachricht: "Ehrwürden Pater Mathias Meler aus Süchteln, Pfarrer dieser Kirche hat gleich nach seiner Einführung (16080000             ) einen Brand durchgemacht. 
Er hat aber Mittel gesammelt und auf dem Pastoratsplatze außer dem Hause noch verschiedene Gebäude aufgeführt. 
Er leitete die Kirche lobenswert vom Jahre 1608 bis 1622, darauf wurde er Pastor in Geilenkirchen. 
Im Jahre 1642, unter dem Pfarrer P. Norbertus (getauft Mathias) Pricken, einem geborenen Lobbericher, wurde das Pfarrhaus ebenfalls durch Brand beschädigt und erneuert.³) Im Jahre 1643 schreibt Pfarrer Pricken 4):"Der Pastor bezahlt von dem Wiedenhof jährlichs 11—MALTER Roggen und 11—GOLD—GULDEN (an die Kirche, welche GOLD—GULDEN laut des aufgerichteten Zehnten-Kontrakts bezahlt werden wie von Alters her, nämlich mit 17 1/2—GULDEN.

Im Jahre 1706 ließ der Pfarrer Pater THEODOr Rütger Borgs ( 
17110000             —VON, bis 1724) ließ zu einem großen Teil das Dach der Pastorat erneuern und ein neues steinernes Thor (das heutige Eingangsthor an der Straße) bauen.6) Der Abt Leonhard JANSEN—VON—KNECHTSTEDEN, unter dem Pfarrer Pater Tils (1728 bis 1736) ließ ebenfalls im Jahre 1732 am Pfarrhause bauen, wie die noch vorhandene Inschrift auf einem Treppengeländer des Anbaues der Pastorat beweist. 
Der vorgenannte Abt Leonhard JANSEN (der 47. Abt—VON—KNECHTSTEDEN, 
17280000—17540000    —VON—BIS, ) ließ unter dem Pfarrer Pater Leonhard JANSEN—VON—Lobberich (

Daß Einiges verloren gegangen, beweisen verschiedene Stellen der genannten Kirchenbücher 1 und 2. So schreibt Pfarrer Pricken bezüglich der Stiftung der Vikarie des Antoniusaltares von Johann—VON—Besel genannt—VON—Reyde und KATHARINA—VON—Bocholtz vom Jahre 1486, bezüglich einiger verlorener Renten dieser Stiftung:²) "Johann

             Ueber eine Rente von 2—MALTER Roggen des Antonius-Altares (wohl ebenfalls zur v. Besel-Reyd'schen Stiftung gehörend) welche auf Meweß-Gut im oberen Bocholt stand, schreibt Pfarrer Pricken²):Da die Urkunde betreffs der Stiftung im Archiv nicht mehr vorhanden ist, habe ich, Norbertus Pricken in KÖLN

Er antwortete: "Ich habe die vorhandenen Papiere mit nach Süchteln genommen." Der Pastor ging darauf mit dem Vicar Johann Karckes nach Süchteln, fand aber nichts. Die HESSEN hatten /1642) alle Briefe vernichtet." Ueber dieselbe Stiftung schreibt Pfarrer Pricken an anderer Stelle:³) "Die Originalbriefe dieser MALTEr sind verkommen.

An dritter Stelle schreibt Pfarrer Pricken hierüber:4) " Ich habe mich mit dem Vicar, Herrn Johann Karckes nach Süchteln begeben, ohne daselbst etwas von den Urkunden zu finden. Aber der Neffe des Herrn Tilman, Mathias, sagte, er habe nach der Plünderung der Stadt einige zerrissene Schriftstücke zerstreut liegen gesehen; daraus müssen wir den Schluß ziehen, daß Herr Tilman Kox RECHT hat, wenn er angiebt, er habe sie da verloren." Endlich an vierter Stelle schreibt Pfarrer Pricken über diese Roggenlieferung: 5) "Die Original-Stiftungs-Briefe sind verloren zur Zeit des hessischen Krieges (16420000             ) dieweil Herr Tilman Kox, Vicarius, die unter seine Papiere mit nach Süchteln geflüchtet und durch die Plünderung desselben Ortes verkommen, wie ich selbst mit dem Herrn Vicarius Johann Karckes allda gewesen in selbem Haus, die Dose eröffnet gefunden, und die Papiere hin und wieder zerrissen und zerstreut gefunden."

Im Jahre 1706 wurde PETER WOLTERs durch den Pfarrer, die Besitzer der Häuse Bocholtz und Ingenhoven und die Scheffen als Küster und Schulmeister angestellt, welche Aemter er bis 1722 bekleidete.

             Die "Heiligenhäuschen" im Felde. Dieselben, auch "Fußfälle" genannt, standen am Feldwege von Sassenfeld dem Dorfe zu eins und zwar in der Nähe des ehemaligen, jetzt abgebrannten Dreßkes- oder Waisenhofes.1) Dieses war von der im Sassenfeld ansässigen Familie Thoenes von Thoeneshof, laut der Inschrift i.J. 1719 erbaut; von dem letzten männlichen Sprossen dieses Hofes, GREGOR Thoenes, i.J. 1879 neu aufgebaut,ist es bald nachher abgebrochen.2) Zwei andere,die zwischen der Landstraße und dem HEIDENfeld lagen, sind in den 70er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts ebenfalls abgebrochen; wo die 4 anderen gelegen, oder ob, wie wohl anzunehmen ist, daß "Hagelkreuz" das siebente war, ist mir nicht bekannt. Clemen ³) sah im Pfarrarchiv eine "Fundatie der prozesse tot—DE—nueuw opgerichte seven statien by het Dorp Lobberich." Mir ist dieselbe nicht zu Gesicht gekommen. Nach Vorstehendem wäre also ehedem eine Preozession zu diesen jetzt verschwundenen Stationen oder Fußfällen gezogen. Da das am Sassenfeld i.J. 1719    —ERBAUT, war, werden die übrigen auch wohl diesem Jahre entstammen.
             Die Kapelle im Sassenfeld (das "Heiligenhäuschen an der Soup") besteht heute noch.
             Die "Eremitage" an der Straße von Lobberich nach Boisheim, am Südende des Ortes Lobberich, die noch besteht, (in der Nähe des jetzigen neuen Friedhofes) ist ein einfacher und nüchterner Kapellenbau

Diese Klause wurde zu Ende des vorletzten Jahrhunderts von dem GREFRATHer Räuberhauptmann Mathias Weber genannt Fetzer überfallen und geplündert. —UM—DIESE—ZEIT war ein gebürtiger Leuther, PETER Dückers, (im 80.Jahre

             Als der Eremit und sein Handelsknecht die Klause überfallen sahen, 
			 wollten sie, Die—DAMALS, ein wenig isoliert wohnten, das Glöcklein der Klause ziehen, um Hülfe herbeizurufen. Aber Weber-Fetzer, der dies vorausgesehen, hatte vorher das Seil oben am Glöcklein durchschnitten, weshalb die beiden der Plünderung Weber's und seiner Spießgesellen ruhig zusehen mußten. Fetzer hatte wohl richtig bei dem handeltreibenden Eremiten baares Geld vermutet, welches —DAMALS, rare Ware war. Obwohl nicht hierhin gehörig, werden einige Notizen über Weber-Fetzer nicht ohne Interesse sein. Der Räuberhauptmann Fetzer, -oder wie sein eigentlicher Name lautet - Mathias Weber oder Wesers, der Schrecken der Justizbehörden gegen Ende des vorletzten Jahrhunderts, war geboren zu GREFRATH, im Kreise Kempen i.J. 1778. Sein Vater war Bandwirker, trat aber als Unteroffizier in Wesel in preußische Dienste, desertierte 1795 und ging unter die österreichischen Ulanen, wonach er gänzlich verschollen ist. Sein Sohn Mathias vermietete sich mit 12—JAHREn bei einem Bauer als Schweinehirt. In dieser Stelle zogen seine kecken Streiche und sein munteres Benehmen die Aufmerksamkeit der Gräfin von Neerdonk zu Vorst auf ihn, die ihn als Hausknecht engagierte. Ein Zwist mit dem Hausgeistlichen veranlasste ihn in dem holländsichen Regimente Douglas Dienste zu nehmen. Nach 1 1/2—JAHREn desertierte er und machte die erste Bekanntschaft mit einem Mitgliede der Banden, welche —DAMALS, unsere Gegend drangsalierten. Die politische Not unseres Vaterlandes, der Haß GEGEN—DIE—Eroberer, das Stocken von Handel und Gewerbe, schuf eine goldene Räuberzeit, die den wunderbar organisierten und teilweise aus reich begabten, aber sittlich heruntergekommenen Menschen zusammmengesetzten Banden Eigentum und Leben der unglücklichen Bewohner preisgab. Fetzer, oder wie sein eigentlicher Name war, Weber, schwang sich bald durch seine außerordentliche Verwegenheit, Geistesgegenwart und Klugheit an die Spitze der sogenannten krefelder oder westfälischen Bande. Auf alle Abenteuer Fetzer's einzugehen, ist hier nicht angängig. Die bekannteren sind:
             Der Ueberfall des Pfarrhauses des lutherischen Predigers Pithan in Mülheim a.d.R., die humoristische Plünderung der Klause des handelteibenden Eremiten zu Lobberich, 1) der Einbruch in das NEUßer

             Rathaus, der Sturm auf das Abdeckerhaus zu Giesenkirchen und der Raub bei einem Juden zu Hörstgen. 
17980000			  war nach der Organitsation der französischen Verwaltung unsere Gegend kein günstiger Tummelplatz mehr für die Räuber und die krefelder Bande siedelte unter Fetzer's Anführung nach dem Oberrhein über. 
Hier wurden von der Bande, die zuweilen mit dem ebenfalls berüchtigten Räuberhauptmann Schinderhannes (Johann Bückler, genannt Schinderhannes, zu MAINZ, 24. Jahre alt, 
18031121             —AM, .   mittelst der Guillotine hingerichtet) und seinen Spießgesellen vereinigte, 
mehrfach förmliche Schlachten mit den überfallenen Dörfern geliefert. 
Aber noch raffinierter als im Rauben war Fetzer im Ausbrechen aus seinen Gefängnissen. 
Kein Schloß widerstand ihm, und gelang ihm nicht DIE—FLUCHT durch die Thür oder Fenster, so durchbrach er gewöhnlich die Plafondecke. 
18020000			  IM SOMMER wurde er in Bergen im Hessischen erwischt und 
18020000			  IM SOMMER wurde ervor dem Polizeikommissar Keil gleichzeitig mit dem Schinderhannes auf der Wasserdiligenze nach KÖLN gebracht und 
18030217			   am, in 1 eingesetzten Spezialgericht wurde Mathias Weber genannt Fetzer zum Tode verurteilt und 
18030217			  + WENIGE TAGE SPÄTER mittelst der Guillotine zu KÖLN hingerichtet. 
Wie er selbst nach der Verurteilung erzählte, hatte er den Namen "Fetzer" von seinem Dreinschlagen, wenn es zum Handgemenge kam, erhalten. 
Außer den im Jähzorne ausgeführten Morde seiner Frau, 
hatte er nach seiner eigenen Angabe in 6—JAHREn 178 Einbrüche und Diebstähle verübt. 
Er starb, noch nicht 25—JAHRE alt, ebenfalls so keck und gleichmütig, wie er gelebt hatte. 
Fetzer war, wie die Gerichtsverhandlungen ausweisen, ein sehr talentvoller und geistreicher Mensch aus dem etwas Tüchtiges hätte werden können, wenn das Geschick ihn von Kindheit an auf andere Fährten geführt hätte.1)
