About Eberhard, Graf von Kleve

Eberhard II Graf von Kleve

  • The death dates from Project MedLands shows their death dates are 197 years apart, which is impossible. This alone proves that it’s impossible for Eberhard II to be married to Berta of Bavaria, Abbess of Schwarzach-am-Main. Eberhard was obviously married to another Berta.
  • It is possible that BERTHA of Holland is the one who married EBERHARD after her 1st husband PHILIPPE I King of France repudiated her in 1092. It shows below that EBERHARD married BERTA, (-after 27 Sep 1074)

Project MedLands FRANCONIA LOWER RHINE

  • EBERHARD (-after 27 Sep 1074). Graf von Kleve. Anno Archbishop of Köln divided the church of Neutz St. Qurin, founded by "Euerhardus comes Clivensis et matrona nobilis Berta comitissa uxor sua" between the church and the archbishopric by charter dated 27 Sep 1074, witnessed by "Otto comes de Zutphen et de Gelrie..."[1570]. married BERTA, (-after 27 Sep 1074). Anno Archbishop of Köln divided the church of Neutz St. Qurin, founded by "Euerhardus comes Clivensis et matrona nobilis Berta comitissa uxor sua" between the church and the archbishopric by charter dated 27 Sep 1074[1571].

Project MedLands, Holland

  • BERTHA of Holland ([1058]-Montreuil-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais 15 Oct 1094). The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the marriage of "filiam ducis Frisiæ" and "rex Philippus"[361]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Theodricum et Florencium…et Machtildim" as children of Count Floris & his wife, specifying that "Machtildim" married "Philippus rex Francie" after the death of her father which indicates that "Machtildim" in this text is an error for Bertha[362]. The Historia Francorum names "filiam Florentii ducis Frisonum Bertam" as wife of King Philippe[363]. Her marriage was arranged as part of the settlement under which her future husband recognised her stepfather as Count of Flanders[364]. Her husband sent her to Montreuil after repudiating her. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Victor records the death "Id Oct" of "Berta mater Ludovici regis"[365]. Clarius’s Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death in 1094 of “Berta regina, quæ a rege Philippo prius fuerat derelicta”[366]. married (1072, repudiated 1092) as his first wife, PHILIPPE I King of France, son of HENRI I King of France & his second wife Anna Iaroslavna of Kiev (1052-château de Melun, Seine-et-Marne 30 Jul 1108, bur Abbaye Saint Benoît-sur-Loire).

Not this Eberhard

p. 537 of l'Amplissima Collectio de Dom Martene (trans into English, orig. in Latin): In 864, Eberard, count of Cleves, and his wife Bertha, a noblewoman, offspring of Charles the Great, and their sons Count Luther and Berenger, bishop of Toul, created two congregations, in Wessel for the monks and in Nussia for the monks and the nuns.

Eugene Martin, quoting this in his 1900 book Histoire des diocèses de Toul, de Nancy & de Saint-Dié, casts doubt that Berenger was Bishop of Toul at this time but suggests, based on an ancient biography of Saint Luthard, Count of Cleves and another chronicle which calls him Berengere Tholetaine, that he was a bishop of Tholey. He also mentions the "chaos of the chronology of the Counts of Cleves in the 9th and 10th centuries."
