 | | The genealogy of Mons, Louvain, Hainault, Limburg, and Brabant is drawn from the Erzählende genealogische Stammtafeln zur europäischen Geschichte, Volume II Part 1, Europäische Kaiser-, Königs, und Fürstenhäuser I Westeuropa [Andreas Thiele, Third Edition, R. Fischer Verlag, 2001, pp.14, 16-18, & 20-25]. |
 | | The real founder, Rainier (Reginar) I of Mons (Maasgau), was a Duke of Lorraine and the father of Duke Giselbert of Lorraine. |
 | | Rainier I's grandfather was the Emperor Lothar I, through his mother, who is either unidentified or given as Irmengard (Ermengarde), which may or may not be a confusion with her mother, Irmengard of Tours, or grandmother (Lother's wife), Irmengard of Hesbain. |
