Louis II was count of Loon between the end of the 12th century to 1218.

He waged war against duke Henry I of Brabant for the inheritance of Albert III of Moha and the rights on Maastricht and Sint-Truiden. He had the rights of both cities, because he was regent of Duras.

Louis married Ada in 1203 and waged war against the brother of Ada, William for the inheritance of Holland. His wife was taken prisoner in England, supporter the Welfs. Louis sought support from Hugo de Pierrepont, bishop of Liege who he helped to win at the battle of Steppes in 1213.

Louis was poisoned in 1218.
