N. B. Genealogics and Med Lands differ as to the husband of Richardis.
     Genealogics has her m to Otto III Graf von Tecklenberg-Lingen.
     Med Lands has her m to Johann III Herr von Reifferscheid, but questions its own sources on this: "A completely different family origin is indicated by Europäische Stammtafeln, which shows the wife of Johann [III] von Reifferscheid as Richardis von der Mark, daughter of Eberhard [I] Graf von der Mark & his second wife ---[617]. Given that Graf Eberhard [I]’s second marriage can be dated to after Mar 1294, this suggestion appears impossible from a chronological point of view given that Richardis’s son is named in the charter dated 8 Jan 1317 in which he is described as “dominus”. He was therefore probably an adolescent at the time, although not having reached the age of majority.

     "Jan IV, Heer van Arkel, was the son of Jan III, Heer van Arkel, Heer van Haestrecht, and his first wife Mabelia van Voorne. About 1324 he married Ermgard von Kleef, daughter of Otto, Graf von Kleef, and Mechtild von Virneburg. Jan and Ermgard had two children, Otto and Mechtild, both of whom would have progeny.
     "Jan IV played an important part in the civil war in Holland and Hainault (which was in a personal union with Holland) in 1350 between the 'Hoeken' (Hooks) and the 'Kabeljauwen' (Cods). The Hooks were fighting for Margaretha, countess of Holland, Zeeland and Hainault, supported by England, while the Cods were fighting for Margaretha's son Willem V of Bavaria, who was ruling Holland in Margaretha's name. A supporter of the Kabeljauwen, Jan took the side of Willem V, who defeated the Hooks and the English in the Battle of Vlaardingen in 1351.
     "In 1354 Margaretha saw herself compelled to come to an understanding with her son, who was recognised as count of Holland and Zeeland, while she remained countess of Hainault. Margaretha died two years later, leaving Willem in possession of the entire Holland-Hainault inheritance.
     "Jan IV died between 12 November 1359 and 6 May 1360, and was succeeded by his son Otto."²
