Frederick V (?) King of Denmark and Norway died on 14 January 1766 at Christiansborg, Denmark, at age 42.^1,5,2,3
      ; per Leo van de Pas: " Twenty-three years of age and married to the English princess Louise, he was as popular as his father had been unpopular. Pleasure loving, he removed the law compelling people to go to church but paid little attention to matters of state. However, Denmark was very well served by his two wise councillors, the Counts Bernstorff and Moltke.

Sadly, Queen Louise died young at only twenty-seven years of age and was replaced only seven months later by the unpleasant Juliane Marie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. However, Juliane Marie never gained his affections. Frederick V also died young, at almost forty-three, with the name of his first wife on his lips. His last words were recorded as: 'It is a great consolation to me in my last hour that I have never wilfully offended anyone and that there is not a drop of blood on my hands.³'"

The Chronicon Fiscannensis Cœnobii records that "Robertus filius eius" succeeded "Robertus Comes Drocensis et Branæ, filius Agnetis Comitissæ" after his death in 1218[136]. The Chronica Andrensis records the death in 1233 of "comes Robertus de Dreus Sancti Walarici ex parte uxoris dominus"[137]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “Robertus comes frater comitis Britanniæ” died in 1234[138]. The chronicle of Evreux Saint-Taurin records the death in 1233 of "Robertus comes Drocensis"[139].

Jean I "Victorious" (?) Duke of Brabant and Limburg died on 4 May 1294 at Leuven (Louvain), Arrondissement Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium (now).^1,2,3
      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Jan I, duke of Brabant and Limburg, was born in Brussels about 1252, the son of Hendrik III, duke of Brabant and Adelheid de Bourgogne, daughter of Hugues IV, duke of Burgundy and Yolande de Dreux, comtesse d'Auxonne. Jan was an elder brother of Marie of Brabant, queen-consort of Philippe III 'le Hardi', king of France.
     "In 1267 Jan's older brother Hendrik IV, duke of Brabant, who was mentally deficient, was deposed in his favour. Jan married twice. About 5 June 1270 he married Marguerite de France, daughter of St. Louis IX, king of France and Marguerite de Provence. Marguerite died in 1271 with a stillborn son. In 1273 he married Margarethe of Flanders, daughter of Guy de Dampierre, count of Flanders and Mathilde de Béthune. This marriage produced four children, three of whom were to have offspring, including his heir Jan II, who married Margaret of England, daughter of Edward I 'Longshanks', king of England. Jan's daughter Margaretha married Emperor Heinrich VII, and his daughter Maria married Amadeo V, comte de Savoie.
     "Jan's greatest military victory was at the battle of Woeringen near Cologne on 5 June 1288, in which he defeated Reinald I, count of Gelre and Zutphen and his allies, and gained the duchy of Limburg which was formally attached to Brabant in 1289.
     "Jan was said to have been a perfect model of a feudal prince in the days of chivalry; he was brave, adventurous, excelled in every form of active exercise, was fond of display, and generous in temper. This made him very popular in Middle Ages poetry and literature. Even today there exists an ode to him. Jan delighted in tournaments and was always eager to take part in jousting. He was also famous for the many illegitimate children he had.
     "On 3 May 1294 in a joust as part of marriage festivities at Bar-le-Duc (now in France), Jan was wounded in the arm, and he died of his injuries. He was buried in the church of the Minderbroeders in Leuven, but his tomb was destroyed in 1566."³

     "John I of Brabant, also called John the Victorious (1252/1253 – 3 May 1294) was Duke of Brabant (1267–1294), Lothier and Limburg (1288–1294). During the 19th century, John I was venerated as a folk hero[citation needed].
Life
     "Born in Leuven, he was the son of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and Aleidis of Burgundy, daughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy. He was also an older brother of Maria of Brabant, Queen consort of Philip III of France. In 1267 his older brother Henry IV, Duke of Brabant, being mentally deficient, was deposed in his favour.[1]
     "John's greatest military victory was the Battle of Worringen 1288, by which John I came to reign over the Duchy of Limburg. He was completely outnumbered in forces but led the successful invasion into the Rhineland to defeat the confederacy. In 1288 Limburg was formally attached to Brabant.[1]
     "John I was said to be a model of feudal prince: brave, adventurous; excelling in every form of active exercise, fond of display, and generous in temper. He was considered one of the most gifted princes of his time.[1] This made him very popular in Middle Ages poetry and literature. Even today there exists an ode to him, so well known that it was a potential candidate to be the North Brabant anthem. John I delighted in tournaments and was always eager to take part in jousts.[1] He was also famous for his many illegitimate children.
     "On 3 May 1294 at some marriage festivities at Bar-le-Duc, John I was mortally wounded in the arm in an encounter by Pierre de Bausner.[1] He was buried in the church of the Minderbroeders in Brussels, but since the Protestant iconoclasm (Beeldenstorm) in 1566, nothing remains of his tomb.
Family and children
     "He was married twice. On 5 September 1270, he married Margaret, daughter of Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence.[2] They had a son, but both mother and child died shortly after his birth.
     "In 1273, he married Margaret (d. 3 July 1285), daughter of Guy, Count of Flanders[3] and had the following children:[1]
1. Godfrey (1273/74 – aft. 13 September 1283).
2. John II of Brabant (1275–1312).
3. Margaret (4 October 1276 – 14 December 1311, Genoa), married 9 July 1292 to Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor.
4. Marie (d. after 2 December 1338), married to Count Amadeus V of Savoy.
     "John I had several illegitimate children:
1. Gillis van der Balcht
2. Jean Meuwe, Seigneur of Wavre and Dongelberg.[4]
3. Margareta of Tervuren, she was married on 2 March 1292 to Jean de Rode de Lantwyck
4. Jan Pylyser (1272–1342)
5. Jan van der Plasch
Legacy
     "The duke is remembered in the folkish song Harbalorifa[5][6] that remains popular. The popular Dutch beer Hertog Jan was named after the duke. Also the beer Primus of the Haacht Brewery is named after John I (Jan Primus)

; Per Genealogics:
     "Jan III, duke of Brabant and Limburg, was born about 1300, the son of Jan II, duke of Brabant, and Margaret, daughter of Edward I 'Longshanks', king of England, and Eleanor of Castile. Jan III, known as 'the Triumphant', succeeded his father as duke of Brabant and Limburg on his father's death in 1312. About 19 July 1311 he married Marie d'Evreux, daughter of Louis, comte d'Evreux et d'Etampes, and Marguerite d'Artois. Jan and Marie had six children, of whom two daughters had progeny. Johanna, the elder, married Willem IV, count of Holland and Hainault; after his death she married Wenzel, duke of Luxembourg. By her first husband she had only one son who died in childhood Jan's younger daughter Margaretha married Louis III 'de Mâle', count of Flanders and count of Rethel; they had a daughter Margaretha who would have many children with her husband Philippe 'the Bold', duc de Bourgogne.
     "During the reign of Jan III, Brabant was an ally of England. Jan fought many wars and became powerful. As a result some sovereigns in the Low Countries became his enemies between 1329 and 1334, among them the rulers of Flanders, Liège, Holland and Gelre, supported by Philippe VI of France. At the peace of Amiens the French king declared that Jan III of Brabant had to hand over the town of Tiel and its neighbouring villages Heerewaarden and Zandwijk to the county of Gelre. However Brabant was able to annex the enclave of Mechelen which belonged to Liège. In 1350 Jews were persecuted in Brabant.
     "Jan III died 5 December 1355 in Brussels. He was buried in the Cistercian abbey of Villers (now in Belgium). His sons having predeceased him, he was succeeded by his daughter Johanna."⁵

; Per Wikipedia:
     "John III (Dutch: Jan; 1300 – 5 December 1355) was Duke of Brabant, Lothier, and Limburg (1312–1355).[1] He was the son of John II, Duke of Brabant, and Margaret of England.
John and the towns of Brabant
     "The early fourteenth century, an economic boom time for Brabant, marks the rise of the Duchy's towns, which depended on English wool for their essential cloth industry. During John's minority, the major towns of Brabant had the authority to appoint councillors to direct a regency, under terms of the Charter of Kortenberg granted by his father in the year of his death (1312). By 1356 his daughter and son-in-law were forced to accept the famous Joyous Entry as a condition for their recognition, so powerful had the States of Brabant become.
     "The marital alignment with France was tested and failed as early as 1316, when Louis X requested Brabant to cease trade with Flanders and to participate in a French attack; the councillors representing the towns found this impossible, and in reprisal Louis prohibited all French trade with Brabant in February 1316, in violation of a treaty of friendship he had signed with Brabant in the previous October.
The French alliance, 1332-1337
     "After his initial period of maintaining independent neutrality from both France and England failed,[2] neighboring sovereigns in the Low Countries, stimulated as a matter of policy by Philip VI of France, became John's enemies; among the adversaries of John were the Count of Flanders, the prince-bishop of Liège, and counts of Holland and Guelders. In 1332, a crisis with the king of France arose over John's hospitality to Robert, count of Artois, during his journey to eventual asylum at the English court. In response to French pressure John reminded Philip that he did not hold Brabant from him but from God alone.[3] A brief campaign of a coalition of Philip's friends came to a truce, followed by a pact at Compiègne by which John received a fief from Philip worth 2000 livres and declared himself a vassal of France. His oldest son, Jean, was betrothed to Philip's daughter Marie, and it was agreed that the Brabançon heir would complete his education at the French court in Paris and that Robert of Artois would be expelled from Brabant.
     "The support of France strengthened John's hand with his feudal suzerain, the Holy Roman Emperor. Though he was technically the Emperor's feudal vassal, John had been able to ignore Emperor Louis IV's summons to join him in his intended invasion of Lombardy (1327).[4] The separation of Brabant from the Empire was completed by the Burgundian dukes of Brabant in the fifteenth century.
     "Meanwhile, the princes of the Low Countries settled their differences and formed a coalition against Brabant with a defensive alliance in June 1333. War was briefly brought to the Duchy of Brabant in the summer of 1334, but resolved by a peace brokered by Philip at Amiens. The French king declared that John had to hand over the town of Tiel and its neighbouring villages Heerewaarden and Zandwijk to the count of Guelders and to betroth his daughter Marie to the count's son, Reinoud.
The English alliance, 1337-1345
     "When Edward III of England decided to press his claim to the crown of France in 1337, John, who was his first cousin, became an ally of England during the first stage of the Hundred Years' War. To Edward's diplomatic offensive to draw Brabant away from France, John lent a sympathetic ear.[5] Disrupting the staple connection between the towns of Flanders and the sources of English wool should divert it to the towns of Brabant, notably the recently established wool exchange. Edward protected Brabançon merchants in England from arrest or the confiscation of their goods, and he sweetened his offers with a promise of £60,000, an immense sum, and to make good any losses of revenue that might be confiscated by the king of France. The same month of July 1337 John promised Edward 1200 of his men-at-arms in the event of an English campaign in France, Edward to pay their salary. In August Edward pledged not to negotiate with the king without prior consultation with the duke. The alliance, kept secret at John's insistence, came into the open when Edward landed with his troops at Antwerp July 1338. John received the promised subsidy (March 1339) and agreed in June to betroth John's second daughter, Margaret, to Edward, the Black Prince, heir to the English throne. Two seasons of inconclusive campaigning that ravaged the north of France left Edward penniless at the end of 1341; he returned home, and when he returned to the fray, it was to Brittany: he never returned to the Low Countries.
The French alliance, 1345-1355
     "Though John was requesting papal dispensation for the marriage of Margaret and the Black Prince in 1343, the alliance with England unravelled as Edward's coffers emptied and his attentions turned elsewhere. In September 1345 representative of France and Brabant met at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye to sign preliminary agreements, and by a treaty signed at Saint-Quentin, June 1347, Brabant was retained as an ally by France. Margaret was now to marry Louis of Male, who had inherited the title of count of Flanders, but whose power against the Flemish communes was virtually nil. A point of dispute with the count of Flanders had been the Lordship of Mechelen, a strategic enclave within Brabant: it was agreed that it would now come under full Brabançon control. Despite the diplomacy of Edward, John remained true to his French commitments until his death in December 1355.
     "In 1350, Jews were persecuted in Brabant.
Family
     "In 1311, as his father's gesture of rapprochement with France, John married Marie d'Évreux (1303–1335), the daughter of count Louis d'Évreux and Margaret of Artois. They had six children:
** Joanna, Duchess of Brabant (24 June 1322–1406). Married first to William IV, Count of Holland and second to Wenceslaus of Luxemburg.[6]
** Margaret of Brabant (9 February 1323 – 1368), married at Saint-Quentin on 6 June 1347 Louis II of Flanders
** Marie of Brabant (1325 – 1 March 1399), Lady of Turnhout, married at Tervuren on 1 July 1347 Reginald III of Guelders
** John (1327–1335/36) Buried in Tervueren. Married Marie, daughter of Philip VI of France.
** Henri (d. 29 October 1349) Lord of Limburg and Mechelen in 1347. Buried in Tervueren in 1349.
