Notes about Engelbert I van der Mark

ENGELBERT von der Mark, son of ADOLF Graf von der Mark [Altena] & his second wife Irmgard van Gelre (-Bredevoort 16 Nov 1277, bur Cappenberg).  Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Everhardum, Engelbertum, Gerardum et Ottonem” as the sons of “comes Adulphus” and his wife “sorore comitis Gelrie”, adding in a later passage that Engelbert succeeded his father[2200].  “Adolphus comes de Marcha...cum...filiis nostris Ottone, Engelberto nec non Gerardo” sold property “hac parte Reni que nobis hereditario iure a domino de Crikenbeke attinebant”, for “Mechtildem et filiam eius relictam pie memorie domini Everardi quondam...filii nostri”, by charter dated 3 Mar 1243[2201].  Graf von der Mark.  Engelbert Graf von der Mark, son of Adolf, names "fratrem nostrum Ottonem comitem de Althena…uxore nostra Kunegundi" in a charter dated 1250[2202].  “Engelbertus comes de Marca” donated “ecclesiam in Marca cum filia sua in Hammona” to Kloster Cappenberg, with the consent of “fratrum nostrorum comitis de Altena Ottonis et Gerhardi prepositi sancte marie in Traiecto Superiori”, by charter dated 6 Jun 1254[2203].  "Godefridus comes de Arnesberg cum uxore nostra Alheydi et…Engelbertus comes de Marcha cum uxore nostra Cunegundi" donated "patronatus ecclesie de Lussenich" to the Teutonic Knights, for the soul of "quondam comitis Henrici Seynensis", by charter dated Jul 1258[2204].  "Otto de Altena et Engilbertus de Marcha, fratres comites" agreed an exchange with Berta Abbess of Essen by charter dated 23 Oct 1261[2205].  Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that Engelbert was “manburnus [regent?] comitatus de Tekeneborch” after the death of “uxore sua prima Cunegunde” and was proposed for “sede Osnaburgensis ecclesie vacante, in episcopum”[2206].  “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[2207].  “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[2208].  "…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[2209].  Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records the death “circa festum omnium sanctorum” 1277 of “comes Engelbertus...in captivitate”, recording in a later passage that his son Eberhard recovered his father’s body from “castrum Bredenvort” the following year and buried it “in Cappenberch”[2210]. 

m firstly (before 1250) KUNIGUNDE, daughter of --- (-before 1265).  Engelbert Graf von der Mark names "fratrem nostrum Ottonem comitem de Althena…uxore nostra Kunegundi" in a charter dated 1250[2211].  There is some doubt about the family origin of Kunigunde.  Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that Engelbert was “manburnus [regent?] comitatus de Tekeneborch” after the death of “uxore sua prima Cunegunde”[2212], which suggests that she was related to the Grafen von Tecklenburg.  However, under a charter dated Jul 1258, "Godefridus comes de Arnesberg cum uxore nostra Alheydi et…Engelbertus comes de Marcha cum uxore nostra Cunegundi" donated "patronatus ecclesie de Lussenich" to the Teutonic Knights, for the soul of "quondam comitis Henrici Seynensis"[2213].  This latter documents suggests that she was a joint heiress of Heinrich Graf von Sayn, maybe Kunigunde, daughter of Heinrich Graf von Bliescastel & his wife Agnes von Sayn.  This parentage is also indicated by the charter dated 2 Sep 1263 under which “Godefridus comes de Arnesberg” agreed an alliance with Engelbert Archbishop of Köln, except respecting his obligations towards “domino Simone Paderbornensis ecclesie episcopo, domino Engelberto comite de Marcha consanguineo meo, genero meo domino Bernhardo seniore de Lippia et Bernardo nato ipsius dominis...genero meo domino Henrico comite de Waltegge et viro nobili Ottone de Ravensberg”[2214]: no other family relationship has been identified between Engelbert [I] Graf von der Mark and Gottfried [III] Graf von Arnsberg, although it is unusual for a relative by marriage to be described as “consanguineus”.   

m secondly ([1264/65]) ELISABETH van Valkenburg, daughter of DIRK [II] Heer van Valkenburg & his first wife Bertha van Limburg.  Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that Engelbert Graf von der Mark married secondly “Elisabeth neptis domini archiepiscopi filia domini de Valkenborch” as part of the peace settlement of the war with Engelbert van Valkenburg Archbishop of Köln[2215].  “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[2216]. 

Engelbert & his first wife had four children: 
EBERHARD [I] (-4 Jul 1308, bur Fröndensberg).  
SOPHIE (-1302).  
AGNES (-9 Jun ----).
RICHARDIS (-after 23 Jun 1277). 

Engelbert [I] & his second wife had [three] children: 
GERHARD ([1266/67]-after 23 Sep 1344)
MECHTILD (-after 15 Apr 1319).
