- Dirk Jongejan comments: There are two persons Luitgard von Nassau in this period, one marries Hermann V von Virneburg, the other is your one.
As one is from Walram I von Nassau and the other is from Ruprecht III von Nassau, who died a crusader. I suppose the Luitgard that married Hermann V von Virneburg and named her firstborn Ruprecht most likely did that to honor her crusader father who fell in 1190. That would mean you should consider the daughter of Walram I who probably lived from about 1187 - 1247 as a possibly more likely candidate. Sources do contradict each other but a first born son not having the name of the parental grandfather and not even a name common in his fathers family, demands a strong reason. A fallen crusader may be such reason in this historical period.
Walram I of Nassau (Not currently listed in the Douglas Archives) (ca. 1146? 1198) was the first (legally titled) Count of Nassau, reigning from 1154 to 1198. The House of Nassau would become an important aristocratic family in Germany, from which are descended the present-day rulers of both the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Walram was the younger son of Count Robert I (German: Ruprecht) of Nassau and an unknown mother. She may have been Robert I's wife, Beatrix of Limburg (ca. 1115 ? ca. 1164), daughter of Walram II the Pagan, Count of Limburg and Duke of Lower Lorraine and Jutta of Guelders (daughter of Gerard I, Count of Guelders), but this is considered unconfirmed by some historians Walram married a woman named Kunigunde (probably Kunigunde of Ziegenhain, daughter of Count Poppo II of Nidda, or else a daughter of a Count of Spanheim) on November 8 (year unknown).
