  === Wives and children ===
  By contract on 12 March 1237, William was betrothed to Margaret of Guelders, daughter of Gerard III, Count of Guelders and Margaret of Brabant. Most sources accept Margaret as the mother of William's elder children but there is no evidence that this marriage was ever consummated. Further, William is known to have married Margaret's sister, Richardis of Guelders (c. 1215 – 1293/98), prior to January 1250 but there is no evidence of a papal dispensation which would have been required for William to marry the sister of his first wife. Thus, it's possible that Richardis was the mother of all of William's children. William had eleven children, as well as a natural son Roland (and possibly a second natural son) who died with him in the riot at Aachen.
  Matilda (c. 1238 – bef. 1279), married 1258 John, Count of Looz
  Margaret (c. 1240 – 12 October 1292/93), married 1261 Dieter III, Count of Katzenelnbogen
  William (c. 1240 – 16 March 1278), died with his father in the riot at Aachen. Married Marie of Flanders, daughter of Guy, Count of Flanders and Matilda of Bethune. They had one son, William the younger.
  Richardis (c. 1243 – after 1291), married before 1265 William, Count of Salm
  Walram (1240/45 – 1297)
  Otto (c. 1245 – after 1283), Archdeacon at Liege from 1282
  Gerhard (before 1250 – 1328)
  Catharine (c. 1250 – after 1287), married before 1273 John of Arberg
  Petronilla (c. 1255 – after 1300), married before 1276 Ludwig, Count of Arnsberg
