Arnold is mentioned as count of Laurenburg between 1151 and 1158. He ruled together with his brother Rupert II.[1][3] Arnold and Rupert were, together with their mother, last mentioned in a charter dated 1 April 1158.[1][3][4]
Uncertainty about wife and children
Due to the lack of data, there is much unknown about the early counts of Laurenburg and Nassau, including the exact family relationships. No marriage has been mentioned of Arnold. He is supposed to be the father of count Rupert III of Nassau.[1]
