Notes about Engelbert I OF NASSAU-DILLENBURG

Engelbert I of Nassau (c.?1370-1380, Dillenburg - 3 May 1442, Breda) was a son of Count Johan I of Nassau and Countess Margaretha of the Marck, daughter of Count Adolph II of the Marck.

Engelbert of Nassau was a student in Cologne, Germany in 1389 and a dean in Münster from 1399-1404. He became counselor to the Duke of Brabant, first to Anton of Burgondy, and later for his son Jan IV of Brabant. He would later serve Philip the Good.

Engelbert's brothers were childless and he left the deanery so he could marry Johanna van Polanen in 1404. They had six children:
Jan IV of Nassau (born 1 August 1410) married Maria of Loon-Heinsberg
Henry II, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg (born 7 January 1414) married 1) Genoveva of Virneburg 2) Irmgard of Schleiden-Junkerath
Margaretha (born 1415), married Diederik, Count of Sayn
Willem (born December 1416)
Maria (born 2 February 1418), married Count John II of Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein
Philip (born 13 October 1420 - died 1429)

Engelbert had an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mistress:
Margaretha of Nassau. She married Hugo Wijnrix.

He died May 3, 1442 in Breda. A mausoleum was built for Engelbert in the Church-of-Our-Lady (the Great Church) in Breda. The construction took thirty years, from 1460 to 1490.
