Kind(er):
EBERHARD von Berg, son of ADOLF [II] Graf von Berg & his second wife [Irmgard von Sponheim/--- von Schwarzenberg] (-23 Jan 1180, bur Altenberg). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Fredericum et Brunonem qui in Colonia promoti archiepiscopi...extiterunt...et Everhardum et Engelbertum” as the sons of “Adulphus comes”[2]. Wolbero Abbot of Köln St. Pantaleon restored "subadvocat[um] in villa nostra Huttorp", removed from “subadvocatus...Gumpertus cum matre sua Gerdrude”, to “comite Adolpho” by charter dated to [1151/53], witnessed by “ipse comes Adolphus, filius eius Euerhardus...”[3]. Graf von Altena 1161. Reinald Archbishop of Köln confirmed the property of Kloster Altenburg by charter dated 1166 witnessed by "…Albertus comes de Molbach, Willelmus comes Iuliacensis, Comes Euerardus de Altina et frater eius comes Engilbertus…"[4]. “...Comes Euerhardus de Altena et filius eius Arnoldus...” witnessed the charter dated 1166 under which Reinald Archbishop of Köln sold property to “Helmwico militi de Holthusen” for Gladbach monastery[5]. “Otto quondam comes in Capenberg et postea prepositus eiusdem loci...Euerhardus comes Engelbertus frater eius, Arnoldus comes, nobilis Euerwinus de Holte, Gerhardus nobilis in Colonia” witnessed the charter dated 1170 under which Philipp Archbishop of Köln confirmed an agreement between Kloster Cappenberg and the canons of Xanten[6]. A memorial in Altenburg records the death “X Kal Feb” 1180 of “Everhardus de Alzena comes et hujus loci benefactor”[7].
Secondary sources are contradictory regarding the identity of Eberhard’s wife:
[m --- von Kleve, daughter of ARNOLD [I] von Kleve & his wife Ida de Louvain. One table in Europäische Stammtafeln records “N v Kleve T v Gf Arnold I” as the wife of Eberhard Graf von Altena[8]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified, although Eberhard naming his son Arnold is suggestive that the Kleve origin of his wife may be correct.]
[m ADELHEID von Arnsberg, daughter of GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Arnsberg [Kuyc] & his wife Ida [Jutta] von Arnsberg (-after 1200). One table in Europäische Stammtafeln records “Adelheid von Arnsberg T v Gf Heinrich v A-Rietberg” as the wife of Eberhard Graf von Altena, while another table names her father as Graf Gottfried (which is more likely from a chronological point of view)[9]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Abbess of Meschede and Ödingen 1200.]
Eberhard & his wife had [four] children:
ARNOLD (-1209)
ADOLF (-15 Apr 1220).
FRIEDRICH [I] (-1199, bur Kloster Kappenberg)
ODA (-1224 or before).
