Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmo_of_Loon
Emmo (Emmon) (died 17 January 1078), Count of Looz (1046-1078), son of Gislebert, 
Count of Looz, and Erlande of Geldenaken.

Some historians believe that Emmo and his brother Otto jointly ruled the county of 
Looz, but others are skeptical and believe they divided the county, Otto receiving the 
County of Duras. Emmo's grandfather was Rudolf van Haspinga, Count of Betuwe 
(predecessors of the Counts of Looz), who married a daughter of Emmo, Count of 
Hesbaye. Vanderkindere suggested that this accounted for the use of the name Emmo 
in the generations following Gislebert.

Emmo married Suanhildis, who was possibly the daughter of Dirk III Hierosolymita, 
Count of Holland, and Othelandis of Nordmarck. Emmo and Suanhildis had four 
children:
Sophie (d. 1065) married Géza I, King of Hungary. It is uncertain whether the 
subsequent dynasty of Kings of Hungary were the descendants of Sophie or Géza’s 
second wife.
Arnold I, Count of Looz
Thierry de Looz (d. after April 1125), Count of Horn. Thierry’s son Herman van Horne 
was Bishop of Utrecht (1150-1156)
Renaud, first Abbot of Averboden.

Emmo was succeeded as Count of Looz by his son Arnold upon his death.
