Sophia of Loon (c. 1044/46 - b. 1075; Hungarian: Loozi Zsófia; Dutch: Sofia van Loon; French: Sophie de Looz) was the Queen of Hungary, the first wife of Géza I of Hungary. According to the old Hungarian sources, she was the daughter of the Limburg duke Arnulf, the son of Rudolph, duke of Limburg, and countess Luitgard of Namur. In reality Arnulf might be Arnulf, Count of Holland, the father of Dirk III (the maternal great-grandfather of Sophia of Loon) or Arnulf of Haspinga (her paternal grandfather); and Luitgard might be Luitgarde of Namur, her paternal grandmother; thus, Rodolph was her paternal great-grandfather (see the ancestry chart below), who can possibly be identified with Richwin II, Castelijn of Baelen-Limbourg (1033).
