Categories: House of Reginar

Leuven is the modern Dutch word for the Dutch-speaking Belgian city often called Louvain in English. The medieval counts of Leuven started as a branch of the so-called Reginar family, like their southern neighbours, the counts of French-speaking Hainaut, on the boundary of France and Belgium. Their two counties and dynasties mark the return of the Reginars to their Belgian homeland in 973, led by the two brothers Lambert, the first count of Leuven, and Reginar (IV), Count of Hainaut. Their father had been exiled to Bohemia in 958.

The counts of Leuven successfully expanded their dominion over generations, becoming counts of many other areas, and then Dukes. Later generations are better known for possessing Brabant.

The main English male line of the Percy family were also descended from this house, as did the German House of Hesse.
