Otto II, Count of Duras
Count Otto of Duras( d. 1147) was a Count of Duras, and" advocatus" of the Abbey of St Truiden.
Duras and St Truiden are in the modern province of Belgian Limburg.
His parents were Count Giselbert of Duras and his wife Gertrud.
Otto married Berthe of Valenciennes, daughter of Yolande of Guelders, daughter of Gerard I, Count of Guelders.
Yolande was first married to Baldwin III, Count of Hainaut, and was mother to Baldwin IV, Count of Hainaut.
Yolande was granddaughter of Albert III, Count of Namur, a family with strong relations with Otto ’s father.
Otto and Berthe are thought to have had one child who survived to adulthood, Otto's successor:
In fact, the relationship with Countess Juliane depends upon the meaning of the Latin word" gener", used in one document to describe the relationship between Otto and Juliane's husband Count Godfried.
This could mean" son- in- law" or" brother- in- law".
Wolters for example identified Juliane as Otto's sister, but this seems unlikely given the succession of the Counts of Duras.
Juliane and Godfried had five children, the eldest of which was Gilles, Count of Montaigu, Duras, and Clermont, who married Lauretta, daughter of Louis I, Count of Loon.
Their third son Conan was also Count of Duras.
None of Juliane's sons had male heirs, and the family inheritance split up after their deaths.
