Notes about John III OF WASSENAER

John III of Wassenaer, Lord of Polanen (1340 - 10 August 1394) was Lord of Polanen (a heerlijkheid south of Monster). The Lords of Polanen were a branch of the House of Wassenaer. He held extensive possessions besides the fief of Polanen.

He was the eldest son of John II (c.?1324 - 1378), from his first marriage to Oda of Horne (1318-1353). In 1353, his father inherited the extensive possessions of William of Duivenvoorde and in the same year, he purchased the Barony of Breda from the Duke of Brabant.
