Dirk Loef Of Horne
Dirk Loef of Horne was a medieval nobleman. Family Dirk Loef van Horne was born in 1338 or 1339. He was the second son of Willem IV of Horne's marriage to Elisabeth of Kleve-Hülchrath, which was his second marriage. This made Dirk Loef's chances to become Lord of Horne very minimal. Dirk Loef van Horne was called 'Dirk Loef', because he had an uncle called Dirk van Horne (1320-?), son of Gerard I of Horne. 'Loef' was a name popular with the Lords of Kleve. Uncle Dirk van Horne would succeed in becoming Lord of Perwez, and is therefore also known as Dirk of Perwez. Dirk of Perwez would try to help the sons of Willem IV of Horne's second marriage to claim their part of the inheritance of Gerard II of Horne. Early Years Dirk Loef was first mentioned on 1 September 1344. On that date John III, Duke of Brabant gave the children of Willem IV's second marriage: Willem (V), Dirk Loef, Arnold and Elisabeth, a heath and some other lands near Heeze. This was later known as the . M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Willem V of Horne (c. 1337 - 1357) was a medieval nobleman. Family Willem V of Horne, was the oldest son of Willem IV of Horne and Elisabeth ('Else') of Kleef-Hülchrath.

Early Years Death of Gerard II of Horne The death of Gerard II of Horne in the September 1345 Battle of Warns was a massive blow for the Horne family. Gerard II had been a lord for only about two years. He had not yet married, and there are no signs that he had made any legal arrangements for a premature death.

Shortly after his father died, John IV became a councillor at the court of Count William IV of Holland. When his half-brother John was elected Bishop of Utrecht, John IV withdrew from the court.

John IV then joined the opposing side, which was led by Margaret's son William V. He supported his half-brother with a loan when he later had a conflict with the Oversticht area. He supported Duke Reginald III of Guelders during the siege of Tiel in 1350. As the conflict ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
