; Per Genealogics:
     "Jan was born in the castle of Gorinchem on 11 September 1362, the son of Otto, Heer van Arkel, and Isabella (Elisabeth) de Bar, heiress of Pierrepont. On 18 October 1376 he married Johanna von Jülich, daughter of Wilhelm VI, duke of Jülich, and Maria van Gelre. As both of Johanna's brothers died without legitimate issue, she became the heiress of the duchy of Gelre. Jan and Johanna had two children, of whom only their daughter Maria would have progeny. In 1409 she eloped with Jan II, Heer van Egmond.
     "In 1392, after the murder of Aleida van Poelgeest, mistress of Albrecht of Bavaria, count of Holland, Albrecht persecuted the 'Hoeken' (Hooks), the party of disaffected nobles who were supporters of Albrecht's mother, Empress Margaretha, whose members he believed responsible for Aleida's murder. He made Jan van Arkel, a supporter of the opposing 'Kabeljauwen' (Cods), the party of burghers of the cities, the treasurer of Holland. However, in 1394 Jan was relieved of this function as Albrecht had become reconciled with his son Willem VI, a bitter enemy of Jan. In 1401 Albrecht started a war against Jan, as he refused to acknowledge himself a vassal of Holland. As Holland was supported by Utrecht and his stronghold Gorinchem was besieged, Jan had to submit to Albrecht.
     "Willem VI, who succeeded Albrecht as count of Holland in 1404, started another war against Jan in 1405. Willem was supported by all of the enemies of the powerful nobleman: the bishop of Utrecht, the lord of Vianen, and the town of Dordrecht. The struggle continued over the succeeding years, especially in Gorinchem. In 1412 Jan lost most of his land, the greater part to Willem, through the Treaty of Wijk bij Duurstede. He continued his fight against Willem, who had gained a powerful ally, his father-in-law Philippe 'the Bold' of Burgundy. In 1415 Jan was captured by Philippe and imprisoned for the next eight years.
     "For many years Jan's son Jonker Willem had worked side by side with his father, but for a while he sided with the citizens of Gorinchem against him. However, after the family lands were lost he continued his father's struggle; he was never captured but died in a street fight in Gorinchem on 1 December 1417.
     "Jan, the last lord of the land of Arkel, between the rivers Lek and Merwede, died at Leerdam on 25 August 1428. Later in 1428 a treaty was signed which meant defeat for Willem VI's party, but it came too late for the van Arkel family. Jan's daughter also died as early as 1415, leaving two small sons."²

; Per Wikipedia:
     "John V, Lord of Arkel (11 September 1362 in Gorinchem – 25 August 1428 in Leerdam) was Lord of Arkel, Haastrecht and Hagestein and stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and West Frisia. He was a son of Lord Otto of Arkel and his wife, Elisabeth of Bar-Pierrepont.
     "He acquired the Lordship of Haastrecht in 1380 and Hagestein in 1382. When he inherited Arkel from his father in 1396, he became a member of the court council of the Count of Holland.
     "During the reign of Albert I, the county suffered from a series of conflicts known as the Hook and Cod wars. John V sided with Albert I and the Cods. However, during a campaign in West Frisia, John V came into conflict with Albert's son, William VI, who sided with the Hooks. The murder of Aleid van Poelgeest may also have played a role in their animosity. Albert informed his father that John was no longer a faithful ally and John declared himself independent and refused to participate in further campaigns against the Frisians. This triggered the Arkel War, in which William VI conquered Arkel. John V lost his land and spent the years 1415-1426 in captivity.
     "John V died in Leerdam in 1428. His son William inherited his claim on the Land of Arkel.
Marriage and issue
     "On 18 October 1376, John married Joanna of Jülich, a daughter of Duke William II of Jülich and heiress to the Duchy of Guelders. She died in 1394. John and Joanna had two children:
     "John had four illegitimate children:
     "William died when he tried to reconquer Gorinchem, which had been a possession of Arkel for many years. He was between 30 and 34 years old and had no male heir. The Land of Arkel was divided between Holland and Guelders.

When the duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg was reorganised in 1428, Heinrich and his brother swapped Lüneburg for the principality of Braunschweig, including Calenberg.
     "After Heinrich came of age he tried to separate his and his brother's government. In 1432 he occupied Wolfenbüttel castle, and the brothers agreed to divide the territory: Heinrich received Braunschweig and Wilhelm received Calenberg, Everstein and Homburg.
     "On 2 February 1436 at Kleve, Heinrich married Helene von Kleve, daughter of Adolf I, Herzog von Kleve, and Marie de Bourgogne. Their daughter Margarete would have progeny, marrying Wilhelm III, Graf von Henneberg-Schleusingen.
     "Heinrich died without sons on 7 December 1473; his territory was inherited by his brother Wilhelm."²

Marriage and issue
     "Philip the Good of Burgundy and his wife, Isabel of Portugal, decided to arrange the marriage of their nephew Adolph, who became engaged to infanta Beatrice of Coimbra, daughter of Pedro, Duke of Coimbra.
     "Beatrice had taken refuge in Burgundy, under her aunt’s protection, following the defeat of her father's army in the Battle of Alfarrobeira in Portugal in 1449.
     "Adolph and Beatrice were married on 13 May 1453 and they subsequently had two children:
     "Following Beatrice's death, Adolph married his cousin Anne of Burgundy, a natural daughter of duke Philip the Good and governess of Mary of Burgundy, Duchess of Burgundy.
     "In 1463, Adolph inherited Wijnendale Castle, where in 1482 Mary of Burgundy would fall from her horse suffering fatal injuries. This accident would have major implications for the history of the Low Countries.
Career
     "Adolph participated in all the battles that involved the Dukes of Burgundy. He was knighted after the Battle of Gavere, which ended the Revolt of Ghent (1449–1453). In 1454, he participated in the Feast of the Pheasant and became a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1456. In 1467, he played an important role in the Battle of Brustem during the Liège Wars.
     "In 1475, he was stadtholder-general of the Low Countries during the absence of Charles the Bold who was fighting the Burgundian Wars, a position confirmed by Mary of Burgundy after Charles' death in the Battle of Nancy in 1477.
