Gerard III, Count of Guelders

Gerard III of Guelders (1185October 22, 1229) was the Count of Guelders and Zutphen from 1207 until his death in 1229. He was a son of Count Otto I of Guelders, and is sometimes called Gerard IV or Gerard V. He married Margaretha of Brabant, the daughter of Duke Hendrik I of Brabant, in 1206.

Gerard was an influential knight in the court of emperor Frederick II, but fell out of grace and the emperor destroyed Roermond in 1213 after a conflict between them. He fought the Bishop of Utrecht Otto II of Lippe over Salland, but supported the Bishop in the Battle of Ane. He was captured in this battle in 1227.
