==Biography==
Arnold was the second son of Count [[Dudo-Henry of Laurenburg]] (German: ''Dudo-Heinrich von Laurenburg'') and Anastasia of [[Arnstein]], daughter of Count Louis II of Arnstein. Count Dudo, considered the founder of the House of Nassau, had already built the castle of [[Laurenburg]] around 1080, and laid the foundations of [[Nassau Castle]] in present day [[Nassau, Germany]], around 1100. After 1120, Arnold ruled from Nassau Castle together with his brother [[Robert I of Nassau|Robert I]].
