Waleran II Arlon was a member of the aristocracy in Europe.
Biography
The dates are estimates. Waleran II is attested as being an adult from 1052 until about 1085.
There is an old and well-known proposal that he must be the same person as Count Udon but more recently Kupper has rejected this idea. One later medieval source says Waleran was (like Udon seems to be) the father of Count Henry of Limbourg Limburg-65, but others indicate that Henry was married to an heiress of Waleran instead.
Kupper proposes him to be father of Botenstein-1.

"He was the younger son of Waleran I, Count of Arlon, and his wife Adelaide. His elder brother Fulk became Count of Arlon.
The evidence for the origins and details of his family are incomplete. In 2007 Jean-Louis Kupper proposed that Udo and Walram II are probably two different people, who were both succeeded by Henry, count of Limbourg, who later became Duke of Lower Lotharingia."
"Contemporary records mention him between 1052 (when his parents were still alive) and 1084/5 (long after the apparent death of Udon). Several medieval narrative sources also name Waleran and his brother Fulk as sons of Countess Adelaide of Arlon"
