They had nine children, of whom only three, their sons Friedrich III and Balthasar and their daughter Elisabeth, would have progeny.
     "Friedrich was involved in lengthy conflicts with his vassals and his neighbours, in particular the counts of Weimar-Orlamünde and the counts of Schwarzburg (in the Thuringian Counts' War of 1343-1345). After the death of Emperor Ludwig, the Bavarian party attempted to persuade Friedrich to accept the German crown, but he had little faith in the constancy of his support, and rejected this overture in favour of Karl IV of Luxembourg. Friedrich focused on consolidating his rule and defending it against the threats from Karl IV. At a meeting in 1348 in Bautzen both rulers formally recognised the status quo regarding their respective lands.

     "Adolf was the third of six children of Adolf II, Graf von der Mark and Margarethe von Kleef, the elder of two daughters of Dietrich IX, Graf von Kleef and Margarethe van Gelre. After the male line of the counts von Kleef became extinct, Adolf von der Mark took over the succession as a son of the elder daughter of Dietrich IX. With this he renounced his ecclesiastical office; he had been bishop of Münster and since 1363 archbishop of Cologne.
     "In 1369 Adolf married Margarethe von Jülich und Berg, which brought the customs revenue from the Jülich island of Kaiserswerth as a dowry. He and Margarete had three children, including his son and heir. Because Adolf's brothers had no male issue, he was able to bring the county of Mark together with Kleef under him. He built the fort in the Kleef town of Kranenburg and acquired parts of the town of Xanten.
     "Towards the end of his life Adolf came into conflict with the archbishopric of Cologne over ownership of the castle of Linn near Krefeld, in 1388. Adolf was kidnapped by fishermen from Rees and held in custody in this town which at the time still belonged to Cologne. An army led by his brothers freed Adolf. In 1392 an agreement was reached through which Cologne retained Linn and Kleef retained the towns of Rees and Aspel. At the same time a peace was concluded between the bishops of Cologne, Münster and Pederborn, the towns of Münster and Soest and Adolf von Kleef.

      ; per Leo van de Pas: "As an army officer the Dauphin had proved disappointing. He had cleared the Paris region of wolves, but it was abundantly plain that he would never clear the Netherlands of France's enemies. He was a dutiful, obedient son, but dull and heavy. His wife, a plain and melancholic Bavarian princess, gave him three sons before dying in 1690. The Dauphin then secretly married Mademoiselle Choin, of whom his aunt, Liselotte, says: 'She had the hugest bosom I ever saw; these enormous charms of hers were the Dauphin's delight.'

There had been some question of putting the Dauphin at the head of the Flanders army, but Louis XIV decided against it. The life of the next king was too valuable to risk. So Monseigneur continued his wolf-hunting. At Marly he would sit in a corner whistling and tapping his snuff-box, or scanning the births and deaths column in the Gazette. He attended Councils regularly. Louis XIV could not have wished for a kinder, more straightforward or more respectful son. He was popular, especially with servants, but curiously detached, as though he believed the horoscope cast thirty years earlier: fils de roi, père de roi, jamais roi (son of a king, father of a king, but never a king).

On April 8th 1711, Monseigneur, who had just left his Château of Meudon on his way to hunt the stag, saw a priest go by carrying Communion to a sick man. He dismounted to kneel in respect, then asked what was the matter with the sick man and was told that he had smallpox. Monseigneur had had smallpox slightly as a child but was still afraid of it, and that evening he said to Boudin, his doctor, that he would not be surprised if he caught it again. Next morning he got up as usual, intending to go wolf-hunting, but turned faint while dressing and was put to bed.

As soon as Louis XIV heard the news he moved to Meudon; he saw his son morning and evening, spending a long time at his bedside. On the 14th Monseigneur seemed better; fishwives arrived from Paris in a hired coach, kissed his bed and promised to have a Te Deum sung. 'When I'm really better,' he said. He ordered them to be given a good dinner and some money. However, he died around midnight on the 14th."⁴
