EBERHARD [I] (-4 Jul 1308, bur Fröndensberg). “Engelbertus comes de Marka” sold property to “Adolphi comitis de Monte”, with the consent of “nostrorum heredum Everhardi nostri filii, Sophie, Agnetis et Richardis”, by charter dated 15 Nov 1265[2217]. “Engelbertus...comes in Marcha” donated “domum in Thudinchusen” to Kloster Cappenberg, with the consent of “domine Elizabet comitisse uxoris nostre et filiorum nostrorum Everhardi et Gerhardi”, by charter dated 1270[2218]. He is named "Engelbertus comes de Marka…Everardo filio et heredi" in his marriage contract dated 28 Jan 1273[2219]. "…Engelbertus de Marka, Godefridus [error for Eberhardus] filius eius…" were among those who declared war against Sifrid Archbishop of Köln by charter dated 8 Apr 1277[2220]. Graf von der Mark. Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that “Everhardus filius eius...ex uxore sua prima Cunigonde” succeeded on the death of “Engleberto”[2221]. "Everhardus comes de Marka, Engelbertus miles eius primogenitus, Adolfus, Cunradus, Margareta, Yrmengardis, Katerina, Kunegundis, liberi et heredes eiusdem comitis" renounced their rights to part of the county of Berg, in favour of "Wilhelmo comite de Monte", by charter dated 20 May 1298, which names "domina Margareta mater dicti comitis" (referring to Graf Wilhelm)[2222]. “Everhardis comes de Marka” exchanged property with “Wilhelmus de Ardey vir nobilis noster consanguineus” by charter dated 28 Dec 1300, witnessed by “Engelbertus noster primogenitus dominus in Arbergh...”[2223]. Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records the death “in die beati Odelrici” 1308 of “comes de Marka Everhardus”, his burial “in Vriendenberch”, and the succession of “filius eius Engelbertus”[2224].
m firstly (contract 28 Jan 1273) IRMGARD von Berg, daughter of ADOLF IV Graf von Berg & his wife Margareta von Hochstaden (-22 Mar 1294, bur Fröndenberg). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that Eberhard married “Ermegardis filia Adulphi comitis de Monte”[2225]. The marriage contract of "Engelbertus comes de Marka…Everardo filio et heredi" and "Irmengardis soror…Adolphi comitis de Monte" is dated 28 Jan 1273[2226]. Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records the birth “circa festum purificacionis” 1293 (presumably O.S.) of “comiti Everhardo duo gemelli Conradus et Cunegundis” and the death of “mater Ermegardis comitissa debilitata et infirmata feria tercia ante festum pasche” and her burial “in vigilia pasche in Vrendeberch”[2227].
m secondly (after Mar 1294) ---. This second marriage is indicated because Graf Eberhard called his youngest son Engelbert, the same name already given to his oldest son. Examples of giving the same name to two sons born to the same parents can be found in many German medieval families (in the Lower Rhine region the Kleve family provides a good example with the name Dietrich), but the practice has not otherwise been observed in the Mark family. The suggestion is therefore that the two sons were born from different marriages. In addition, the chronology of the younger Engelbert’s life suggests that he was considerably younger than his siblings and therefore probably born late in his father’s life. Assuming that this second marriage is correct, the name of Eberhard’s second wife is not recorded in contemporary primary sources. Eberhard’s second wife is named “Maria (Gfn) von Looz” in Europäische Stammtafeln without specifying any precise parentage[2228]. Chestret de Haneffe notes that Le Fort said that she was “une comtesse de Looz”, which could have been based on a genealogical table compiled by Pontus Heuterus (late 16th century) or on an epitaph recording the arms of her grandson Engelbert Seigneur de Loverval which quartered Mark with Looz[2229] (the epitaph at Liège Saint-Jacques records the burial of “Engelbert de la Marck seigneur de Loverval, Vogelsanck et Walhem, reconstructeur du chœur de l’église de Saint-Jacques” who died 8 May 1422, displaying his quarters “La Marck; Arenberg; Looz; Limbourg”[2230]). The Marquis de Trazegnies, noting that the quarters in this epitaph cannot be attributed to Engelbert Seigneur de Loverval (“Arenberg” being unexplainable in his case), concludes that the four family names were either not “quartiers de noblesse” at all, or that Engelbert’s cousin Eberhard Seigneur de Sedan (with “Arenberg” and “Looz” ancestry, see below) had participated in the foundation recorded in the epitaph and that the epitaph itself was at some point damaged and badly restored[2231]. If he is correct, the supposed Looz ancestry of Eberhard’s second wife is unproven.
