  === Life Sketch ===
  Henry I, Count of Guelders (1117-1182) was Count of Guelders from 1131 until 1182. He was a son of Gerard II of Guelders and Ermgard of Zutphen.
  
  In 1138 Hendrik inherited the County of Zutphen from his mother.
  
  Hendrik was under tremendous pressure from the Bishopric of Utrecht and the County of Holland, and was forced by Holland to negotiate a treaty with the city of Utrecht; this led to a problematic relation with the Bishop of Utrecht.
  
  In 1135 Hendrik married Agnes of Arnstein, daughter of count Louis III of Arnstein. Their daughter Adelaide married Gérard II, Count of Looz. Hendrik died in 1182 and was succeeded by his son Otto I of Guelders. He is buried at Kloosterkamp, probably the prestigious Cistercian abbey of Kloster Kamp.

  Note: Turton, p. 22, has Henry's wife as Marie de Boulogne, daughter of Eustace II C. de Boulogne & Ida de Lorraine. Since Eustace & Ida weren't married in 1057 (almost a century too early), I am following Leo van de Pas' sources, who state his wife is Agnes von Arnstein.

  === Heinrich II. folgte in Geldern-Zütphen, ===
  Heinrich II. folgte in Geldern-Zütphen, stand gegen die Bischöfe von Utrecht, gegen Brabant und Holland, schob mit Rodungen einen großen Keil ins Utrechter Bistumsgebiet und musste auf holländischen Druck hin ein Bündnis mit der Stadt Utrecht gegen den Bischof aufgeben. Er stützte sich besonders auf die Erzbischöfe von Köln, die Hauptlehensherren. Er hatte durch den vielen Streubesitz und verschachtelte Rechtsverhältnisse in Friesland und Westfalen viel Streit mit den Bischöfen von Paderborn, Münster und Lüttich und den Äbten von Corvey. Er war ein bedeutender Organisator und Verwalter, achtete auf gute Beziehungen zu Kaiser FRIEDRICH BARBAROSSA, besuchte viele Hoftage, wurde oft als Zeuge in kaiserlichen Urkunden genannt und gewann unter anderem den Zoll von Nymwegen.

   Note: HENDRIK van Gelre, son of GERHARD [II] Graaf van Gelre & his wife Ermgard van Zutphen ([1117]-[27 May/10 Sep] 1182, bur Kloster Kamp). The Kronik van Arent toe Bocop names "Henderick" as son of "Gherit…grave van Gelre", adding that he succeeded his father in 1131 and also that he married "hertig Goewert van Brabans dochter"[1016], but this last named person has not been identified. A charter dated 1134 records the donation by "Domina Ermengardis comitissa…hæres legitima oppidi Sutphaniensis…cum marito suo Cunrado comite de Lucelenburg et filio suo Henrico" of "ecclesiam Lochemensem", confirmed by the bishop of Utrecht, for the souls of "mariti sui Gerardi…domini Ottonis comitis patris sui et matris suæ Judithæ et fratrum suorum piæ memoriæ…episcopi Theodrici et comitum Henrici et Gerardi"[1017]. He succeeded as HENDRIK Graaf van Gelre, Graaf van Zutphen. Konrad III King of Germany dismissed claims by "comes Adelbertus de Noruenich" to property "in silva…Osninch" claimed from Kloster Brauweiler by charter dated 14 Sep 1141, witnessed by "…comes Arnoldus de Cleuia, comes Adolfus de Monte, comes Heinricus de Gelra, comes Adolfus de Saphenberch, Gerardus puer comes de Iuliaco, Godefridus de Arnesberch, Herimannus de Cuich…"[1018]. Philipp Archbishop of Köln granted protection to Kloster Bedburg, founded by "Arnoldus comes de Cliue", by charter dated to [1167/77] witnessed by "Henricus comes de Gelre et filius eius Gerardus…"[1019]. m ([1135]) AGNES von Arnstein, daughter of [LUDWIG [II] Graf von Arnstein & his wife Udelhildis ---] (-before 1179). The Vita Lodewici comitis de Arnstein records that "in castro Arnstein…comes…Lodewicus" had seven sisters, of whom the seventh married "in Sutpheniensem…comitiam"[1020]. It is more likely from a chronological point of view that Agnes was the daughter of Ludwig [II] than Ludwig [I] but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. Graaf Hendrik & his wife had [six] children: 1. GERHARD ([1140]-[1181/82], bur Zutphen). 2. OTTO (-22 Oct 1207, bur Kloster Kamp). 3. AGNES (-24 Jan ----, bur Echternach). 4. ADELHEID (-1213 or after). 5. MARGARETA . 6. [DIETRICH (-after 1203).
