Maria of Jülich-Berg
Maria of Jülich-Berg (3 August 1491 – 29 August 1543) was born in Jülich, the daughter of Wilhelm IV, Duke of Jülich-Berg and Sibylle of Brandenburg.
Maria came from the line of German princesses that stretched back to Sybille of Brandenberg, Sophia of Saxony, and Adelaide of Teck.
Maria became heiress to her father's estates of Jülich, Berg and Ravensberg after his death in 1511.
In her marriage to John III, Duke of Cleves in 1509, Maria's estates and titles were eventually merged with the Duchy of Cleves.
John, who inherited the Duchy of Cleves-Mark in 1521, then became the first ruler of the United Duchies of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, which would exist until 1666.
She married John III, Duke of Cleves in 1509, by whom she had three daughters and a son.
Sybille (1512–1554), William, Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berg ("Wilhelm")
(1516–1592), Amalia (1517–1586), and Anne (1515–1557) who was Queen consort of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540 to King Henry VIII.
Maria was a strict, traditional Catholic and not a proponent of educating princesses and noble women, which by this point was the norm for the English nobility and gentry.
In "The Wives of Henry VIII", Antonia Fraser suggests that, following their marriage, one reason Henry VIII disliked her daughter Anne
so much was that, unlike his first two wives and many of the court ladies around him, Anne did not possess educational and musical accomplishments and was ill-equipped to function in the contentious English court.
Duchess Maria herself appears not to have favored sending her daughter to England.
She wrote in a later correspondence she loved her daughter so much that she was 'loath to suffer her to depart her'.

Adolph II of the Marck( died 19/20 October 1347, Fröndenberg) was Count of the Marck.
He was the eldest son of Engelbert II of the Mark and Mechtild of Arenberg.
Adolph was betrothed to Irmgard of Cleves, daughter of Otto, Count of Cleves and his( second) wife Mechtild of Virneburg.
After obtaining a papal dispensation Adolf was allowed to marry Margaret of Cleves, the daughter of Dietrich VIII, Count of Cleves and Margaret of Guelders.
Adolph and Margaret of Cleves had seven children:
John I, Duke of Cleves
John I, Duke of Cleves, Count of Mark( 16 February 1419 – 5 September 1481) was Duke of Cleves and Count of Mark.
