Jan van Hattem - Incorrect Link - Please provide evidence

@ John Edward Hersey - I was also skeptical, and I'm supposedly related to Jan Van Hattem, so I did some research to back up whoever made this link and I found a scanned 1886 public almanac (called "Geldersche volks-almanak voor het jaar 1886").

In it, it says (choppy Google translation): Reynald III Duke of Guelders, nicknamed the Fat, who was imprisoned on Nyenbeek let a bastard son after which was called Johan van Hattem, who from 1371-1421 hetslot Hattem possession. In 1422 he sold all his justice at Hattem Gerhard van Cleve. In 1371 he had received money from Duchess Mechtelt Harderwijk "

You can find a link to the scanned copy of the book: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_gel004188601_01/downloads.php

It's on page 45-46 of the scanned book.

Apparently Johan van Hattem is also mentioned in "de Graven En Hertogen Van Gelre (1904)" , but I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of that yet.

Excellent, thanks Janice. We probably cousins then. I'm related to this link on my mothers side (Joubert).

Thank you Janice for posting this connection between Reginald III and his illegitimate son Jan van Hattem to clarify that he did indeed have a son. I am also a descendant through my Joubert grandmother.
