Adolph II of the Marck
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:
Margaret of Cleves, Duchess of Bavaria-Munich
Margaret of Cleves( 1416–1444) was a German noblewoman.
She was the eldest daughter of Adolph I, Duke of Cleves and his second wife Marie of Burgundy.
She married
Karl Harst
Karl Harst( fl. 1540) was a sixteenth- century diplomat from the German Duchy of Cleves.
He was the Duke of Cleves' representative in London during the marriage of Henry VIII of England and his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.
John III, Duke of Cleves
John III "the Peaceful", Duke of Cleves and Count of Mark
(John III, Duke of Cleves;
John I, Duke of Jülich-Berg; ; 10 November 1490 – 6 February 1538 or 1539) was a son of John II, Duke of Cleves and Mathilde of Hesse, daughter of Henry III, Landgrave of Upper Hesse.
John III became Regent of the United Duchies of Jülich-Cleves-Berg in 1521, and Lord of Ravensberg in 1528.
John represented a compensatory attitude, which strove for a , a middle way, between the two confessions during the Protestant Reformation.
Despite what others may have thought, not all Germanic princely houses were Lutheran Protestant.
In fact the real influence at the court of Cleves was Erasmus.
Many of his men were friends and followers of this well-educated Dutch scholar and theologian.
When Duke John decided to write up a list of church regulations, Erasmus was the first person the Duke went to personally for consultation and approval.
Duke John had an instinct for balance as was shown when he married his eldest daughter Sybille to John Frederick of Saxony.
John Frederick would go on to later head the Schmalkaldic League.
In many ways John of Cleves' court was ideal for raising a Queen.
It was fundamentally liberal, but serious-minded, theologically inclined, profoundly Erasmian; as the court of Catherine of Aragon had once been.
It was from this court that his daughter Anne would be raised.
Anne would go on to marry King Henry VIII of England as his fourth wife.
Johann, Count of Cleves
Johann was last Count of Cleves, from 1347 through 1368.
Upon his death in 1368, the counties of Cleves and Count of Mark were united.

He succeeded in 1347 his brother Dietrich VIII, Count of Cleves who had died without sons.
He married Mechteld of Guelders( † 1384), daughter of Reginald II, Duke of Guelders, but the marriage remained childless.
After his death, the County of Cleves went to Adolf III of the Marck and so to the Counts of Marck.

Amalia of Cleves (17 October 1517, Düsseldorf – 1 March 1586, Düsseldorf), sometimes spelled as Amelia, was a princess from the House of Von der Mark.
