• Notes

  Arnold of Egmond (14 July 1410, Egmond-Binnen, North Holland - 23 Febru a r y 1 4 7 3, Grave) was Duke of Guelders, Count of Zutphen. He was son of J o h n I I o f E gmond and Maria van Arkel. On 11 July 1423, Arnold of Egmond, who was still a boy in years, succee d e d D u k e Reinald IV. Arnold was the grandson of Reinald's sister, Johan n a . A l t hough the Emperor Sigismund had invested the Duke of Berg with t h e d u c h y of Gelders, Arnold retained the confidence of the Estates by e n l a r g ing their privileges, and enjoyed the support of Duke Philip of Bu r g u n d y. Arnold was betrothed, and afterwards united in marriage to Cath e r i n e o f Cleves né e Valois, a niece of Philip of Burgundy. Subseequent l y , h o w ever, Duke Arnold fell out with his ally as to the succession to t h e s e e o f U trecht; whereupon Philip joined with the four chief towns of G u e l d e rs in the successful attempt of Arnold's son Adolf to substitute h i s o w n f o r his father's authority. When Charles the Bold became Duke of B u r g u n dy in 1467, after rejecting a compromise, Adolph was thrown into p r i s o n . Arnold, against the will of the towns and the law of the land, p l e d g e d his duchy to Charles. Upon Arnold's death two years later, Charl e s t o o k p ossession of the duchy.
