Кто женился на Матильда (герцогиня Гелдернская)?

Матильда, Мехтильда (нид. Mechteld van Gelre; фр. Mathilde de Gueldre; ок. 1325 — 21 сентября 1384) — герцогиня Гелдерна и графиня Цютфена в 1371—1379 годах. Вторая дочь Райнальда II и его жены Софии Берту, дамы де Малин.

Первым браком (в 1336 году) Матильда была замужем за Годфридом фон Гейнсберг (ум. 1347), сыном Тьерри фон Гейнсберга, графа Лооза и Шини.

Овдовев, Матильда вышла замуж за клевского графа Иоганна (ум. 1368).

Третьим её мужем стал Жан II де Шатильон, граф Блуа (ум. 1381). Ни в одном из этих браков детей не было.

В 1371 году после смерти своих братьев Эдуарда и Райнальда III Матильда стала герцогиней Гелдерна и графиней Цютфена. Однако её сестра Мария вместе со своим мужем Вильгельмом VI Юлихским предъявили свои претензии на эти владения.

Война за гелдернское наследство продолжалась 8 лет и закончилась поражением Матильды. Она была вынуждена отречься от Гелдерна и Цютфена в пользу сестры.

Godefroy de Looz de Heinsberg, seigneur de Millen, né vers 1320 et mort le 16 octobre 1342, est le dernier descendant des comtes de Looz-Heinsberg.

Johann (1293-1368), was the last Count of Cleves, from 1347 through 1368. Upon his death in 1368, the counties of Cleves and Count of Mark were united.

Johann was the youngest son of Dietrich VII, Count of Cleves and his second wife Margaret of Habsburg. 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.

John II (c. 1342 – 19 May 1381) was a Franco-Dutch nobleman who ruled lands in both France and the Holy Roman Empire. He was the count of Blois and Dunois from 1372 until 1381, the lord of Avesnes, Schoonhoven, Gouda, Beaumont, Chimay and Waarde from 1356 until 1381 and the stadtholder of Holland and Zeeland in 1359–1360 and 1362–1363 during the absences of Count Albert of Bavaria. He was also a claimant jure uxoris to the Duchy of Guelders from 1372 until 1379.

John was the second son of Count Louis II of Blois and Jeanne of Hainault, daughter of John of Beaumont. His father died at the battle of Crécy in 1346 and his mother administered his inheritance. In 1356, his maternal grandfather died, leaving him many lordships scattered throughout the Low Countries.

John made his chief residence at Schoonhoven, where he patronized French and Dutch poets. His court was the literary centre of Holland before the arrival of Albert of Bavaria. John was on good terms with Albert and represented him during his absence from Holland. In 1362 and 1363, when John went on crusade in Prussia, he took with him his professional storyteller, Augustijnken.

On 14 February 1372, John married Matilda, daughter of Duke Reginald II of Guelders. He was proclaimed duke of Guelders by the faction of Heeckerens, supported by the bishop of Utrecht, Arnold of Horne. That same year, he succeeded his elder brother, Louis III, in the counties of Blois and Dunois.

In 1371, Matilda's brothers, Dukes Reginald III and Edward, had died. John spent most of the rest of his life trying to seize Guelders from Matilda's nephew, William VII of Jülich, in the First War of the Guelderian Succession. William had the support of the Emperor Charles IV. In 1377, John was forced to abandon Arnhem, where he had set up his court. In 1379, he renounced his claim on Guelders in exchange for an annual pension from William.

John died at Valenciennes. He had no children with his wife. He had two sons by a mistress, Isabeau d'Isbergues: John, who became lord of Trélon, and Guy, lord of Heften in Zeeland.
