Count of Zutphen

Count of Zutphen

The title of Count of Zutphen historically belonged to the ruler of the Dutch province of Gelderland (Zutphen being one of the major cities in the province during the medieval period).

The line of the Counts of Zutphen became extinct in the 12th century and the title passed onto the rulers of Burgundy then from then to the King of Spain until Gelderland became one of the provinces to revolt and form the United Provinces.

Lords of Zutphen

The House of Zutphen comes into existence in 1018 when Otto of Hammerstein becomes the first Lord of Zutphen. In 1046 Henry III, emperor of Germany gives Zutphen to Bishop Bernold of Utrecht. The Lords of Zutphen do not recognize this gift, which leads to some confusion regarding who actually owns Zutphen.

  • (1018 - 1025) Otto of Hammerstein
  • (1025 - 1031) Ludolf Ezzonen, receives Zutphen when he marries Mathilda, daughter of Otto of Hammerstein, Lord of Zutphen

After Ludolf's death it is possible that Zutphen was always intended for Adelheid of Zutphen. It would eventually go to her husband Gottschalk.

  • (1046 - 1063) Gottschalk of Zutphen Lord of Zutphen though his marriage to Adelheid of Zutphen, daughter of Ludolf and Mathilda
  • 1063-1101 : Otto II the Rich († 1113) Lord of Zutphen from 1063 until 1101, when he is elevated to Count of Zutphen.
