Ermengarde of Zutphen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ermengarde of Zutphen (died 1138) was countess of Zutphen (1122–1138), succeeding her elder brother (her other two brothers had taken holy orders and died respectively). Their parents were Otto II, Count of Zutphen and Judith of Arnstein.

She first married around 1116 to Gerard II († 1131), count of Guelders and of Wassenberg, and had :

  • Henry I († 1182), count of Guelders and of Zutphen
  • Adélaïde, married Ekbert, count of Tecklenburg
  • Salomé († 1167), married Henry I, count of Wildeshausen

Widowed, she remarried to Conrad II († 1136), count of Luxembourg, but the marriage remained childless.
