The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi records "Henricus de Liemborc, pater Pagani de Arluna" as son of son of "Adela soror Friderici ducis...filiam unam” (sister of “Fulconem et Gallerannum”). The Annalista Saxo names "Walrabonum ducem qui et Paginus dicebatur" as son of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Waleran and his siblings were children of his father's first marriage. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. It is possible that it is only speculative because Waleran inherited the county of Arlon, although this would not be the only case of property passing from an individual's first wife to the children of his second marriage.... Until further evidence comes to light, it is considered preferable to accept the report in the Annalista Saxo. It should also be noted that the parents of Adelheid von Botenstein, Graf Hendrik's [second] wife, allegedly married in 1056 ..., which suggests that their daughter may have been born soon after this date. If this is correct, it would be consistent with Graf Walram [II] having been born in [1085].
