Otto sided with the emperor and against the counts of Holland and the dukes of Brabant. He supported Louis II van Loon during the Loon War and in 1190 he was named the first count of Gelre and Zutphen. The relevant certificate is the city letter to Zutphen. Otto was the first city in Gelderland to grant Zutphen city rights. His son Gerard III and grandson Otto II would use this Zutphen right as a model for the city privileges of various other Gelderland cities, making Zutphen the mother city of the Gelderland county.

==[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_I,_Count_of_Guelders Otto I of Guelders (1150–1207)]

Otto I of Guelders joined his Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa on the Third Crusade (1189–1192) during which he aided the Crusader army in the taking of Iconium. After the death of Frederick I Barbarossa, some of the crusaders in the army left for home but Otto joined one of the groups that went on towards Syria and Palestine. After arriving in the Holy Land, Otto joined the army of Guy of Lusignan, the King of Jerusalem, who was besieging the city of Acre. Further hardships decimated the army of the late Frederick, and by the spring of 1191 most of them had left for home. Otto was the only survivor from the Low Countries, and returned home in 1190.[1]

He is mentioned as the first Count of the combined area of Guelders and Zutphen in 1190. One of his sons was Otto, Bishop of Utrecht from 1212 until 1213.
