  Death	16 Apr 1106
  Notes	He succeeded his father before 1066 . He had many troubles with the religious, especially with the bishop of Liege Henry. In 1084 , he tried to capture Richilde of Hainault, but failed. In 1070 he founded the Abbey of Orval with Conrad I of Luxembourg. He also founded other religious establishments. Orval Abbey (Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Orval) is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1132 in the Gaume region of Belgium and is located in Villers-devant-Orval, part of Florenville in the province of Luxembourg. In 1070, a group of Benedictine monks from Calabria settled here, at the invitation of Arnould, Count of Chiny, and began construction of a church and a monastery, but after some forty years, possibly because of the death of Count Arnould, they moved away again. They were replaced by a community of Canons Regular, who completed the construction work: the abbey church was consecrated on 30 September 1124. Sources Arnold I van Chiny, Wikipedia (NL).
