      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Dietrich was born about 1226, the elder son of Dietrich VI Nust, Graf von Kleef, and his second wife Hedwig von Meissen. He was originally not destined for the rule of Kleef, but the early death of his older half-brother Dietrich in 1245 caused him to become his father's principal heir.
     "In 1255 he married Aleidis von Heinsberg, heiress of Hülchrath and Saffenburg, daughter of Heinrich I, Graf von Sponheim in Heinsberg, and Agnes van Heinsberg, heiress of Heinsberg. She brought the extensive estates of Hülchrath and Saffenberg to the marriage. From 1255 he independently governed Hülchrath and the southern parts of the county of Kleef, until he succeeded to the rule of the county on the death of his father in 1260.
     "Dietrich quarrelled periodically until 1270 with his younger brother Dietrich Luf, who resented the terms of their father's division of the inheritance in 1255, which had left the bulk of the county to Dietrich VII and peripheral estates to Dietrich Luf. Under Dietrich VII, Dinslaken, Orsoy, Büderich and possibly Huissen and Kranenburg were granted township rights. He died in 1275, and was probably buried in the abbey church of Bedburg."¹²

     "Dietrich VI (also known as Dietrich of Meissen), was Count of Cleves from 1260 through 1275. He was born in 1226 as the son of Dietrich V, Count of Cleves and Hedwig of Meissen.
     "The County of Cleves (German: Grafschaft Kleve; Dutch: Graafschap Kleef) was a comital polity of the Holy Roman Empire in present Germany (part of North Rhine-Westphalia) and the Netherlands (parts of Limburg, Noord-Brabant and Gelderland). Its rulers, called counts, had a special and privileged standing in the Empire. The County of Cleves was first mentioned in the 11th century. In 1417, the county became a duchy (German: Herzogtum Kleve; Dutch: Hertogdom Kleef) and its rulers were raised to the status of Dukes.
     "Its history is closely related to that of its neighbours: the Duchies of Jülich, Berg and Guelders and the County of Mark. In 1368, Cleves and Mark were united. In 1521 Jülich, Berg, Cleves and Mark formed the United Duchies of Jülich-Cleves-Berg. The territory was situated on both sides of the river Rhine, around its capital Cleves and roughly covering today's districts of Cleves, Wesel and the city of Duisburg.
Marriage and Issue
     "Dietrich VI married Alida of Heinsberg (d. 1303), daughter of Henry I of Sponheim and Agnes of Heinsberg. Their children were:
** Dietrich VII, Count of Cleves (b. 1256 - d. 4 Oct 1305)

     "Albert Ier dit « le Grand » (en allemand : Albrecht der Große), né en 1236 et mort le 15 août 1279, fut, conjointement avec son frère Jena, le second duc de Brunswick et Lunebourg de 1252 et, à la partition du duché en 1269, prince de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel jusqu'à sa mort.
Biographie
     "Albert est le fils d'Othon Ier, le premier duc de Brunswick-Lunebourg, et de son épouse Mathilde († 1261), fille du margrave Albert II de Brandebourg. En 1235, son père, un petit-fils de Henri le Lion, avait reçu le duché en fief des mains de l'empereur Frédéric II.
     "À la mort de son père en 1252, Albert lui succède. Pendant le Grand Interrègne, il soutient les candidatures de Guillaume de Holland et d'Alphonse de Castille lors de l'élection du roi des Romains. Vers 1261, Albert est venu aider la régente Marguerite Sambiria en Danemark. Ses interventions dans la guerre de Succession de Thuringe en faveur de sa belle-mère Sophie se soldent par un échec en 1263 et des pertes de territoire sur la Werra.
     "Au fil des années, Albert n'était pas en mesure de repousser les prétentions de son frère cadet Jean. En 1267, les deux décident de se partager le patrimoine de la maison de Brunswick, guidés par leur oncle maternel Othon III de Brandebourg. L'accord est entré en vigueur deux ans après : Albert reçoit les domains du Sud s'étendant des rives de la Leine sur Göttingen, Einbeck et Wolfenbüttel jusqu'à Helmstedt et au massif du Harz. Il devient le premier prince de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, tout en conservant le titre de « duc de Brunswick-Lunebourg ».
     "Albert meurt en 1279 et fut enterré à l'église Saint-Blaise de Brunswick. Ses trois fils, Henri, Albert et Guillaume, lui succèdent tout d'abord conjointement, puis se partagent à leur tour ses terres en 1291. La branche aînée de la maison de Brunswick, descendants d'Albert Ier, s'éteint à la mort de Frédéric-Ulrich de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel en 1634.
Descendance
     "En 1254, Albert Ier épouse Élisabeth (1243-1261), fille du duc Henri II de Brabant et de son épouse Sophie de Thuringe. Ils n'ont pas d'enfant.
     "En 1263, Albert se remarie avec Alessine (morte en 1285), fille du marquis Boniface II de Montferrat et Marguerite de Savoie. Sept enfants sont nés de cette union :

     "Albert the Tall (Latin: Albertus Longus, German: Albrecht der Große; 1236 – 15 August 1279), a member of the House of Welf, was Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1252 and the first ruler of the newly created Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1269 until his death.
Life
     "Albert was the oldest surviving son of the first Brunswick duke Otto the Child and his wife, Matilda of Brandenburg. When his father died in 1252, he took over the rule of the duchy; later his younger brother John joined him.
     "Albert's rule was initially troubled by several armed conflicts as the Welf dukes still had to cope with the followers of the extinct Hohenstaufen dynasty within their dominions. In 1260/61 Albert's troops fought against the Danish duke Eric I of Schleswig on behalf of Queen Margaret Sambiria and her minor son King Eric V of Denmark. In 1263 the duke quite luckless interfered in the War of the Thuringian Succession to support the claims raised by his mother-in-law Sophie of Brabant.
     "On 31 May 1267, the brothers agreed to divide the Welf lands, which happened in 1269. Albert partitioned the territory while John obtained the right to choose his part. He took the northern half including the region of Lüneburg, Celle and the city of Hanover, while Albert received the southern part around the cities of Brunswick and Wolfenbüttel, stretching from the area around the Calenberg hill to the town of Helmstedt, the Harz mountain range, and Göttingen. The Brunswick residence itself was to remain common property of the brothers.
     "Albert then concentrated on the development of his hereditary lands. During the Imperial interregnum, he sided with the rising Bohemian king Ottokar II until his final defeat in the 1278 Battle on the Marchfeld. When his brother John died in 1277, he took over the guardianship for his minor nephew Otto II of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
     "Albert died on 15 August 1279 and is buried at Brunswick Cathedral. He was succeeded by his elder three sons, the younger three joined the Church.
Marriage and children
     "In 1254, Albert married Elizabeth of Brabant (1243 – October 9, 1261), daughter of Duke Henry II of Brabant and Sophie of Thuringia. They had no children.[1]
     "After Elizabeth's death in 1261, Albert married Adelheid (Alessia) (1242 – February 6, 1284/85), daughter of Margrave Boniface II of Montferrat around 1263. Once widowed she married Gerhard I, Count of Holstein-Itzehoe. Albert and Adelheid had the following children:
