In 1229 he succeeded his father as ruler of the house of Lippe, referring to himself as 'Statutum in favore principum', then in 1232 as 'by the grace of God', and thereafter at times as 'count'.
     "Many years before 4 May 1240, Bernhard married Gräfin Sophie von Arnsberg, heiress to the lordship of Rheda, daughter of Gottfried II, Graf von Arnsberg, and his wife Elisabeth. Of their five children, Bernhard IV and Hedwig would have progeny. After Sophie's death in 1248 Bernhard married Sophie von Ravensberg, daughter of Otto II, Graf von Ravensberg in Vlotho und Vechta, and Sophie von Oldenburg. Of their four daughters, Agnes, Sophie and Elisabeth would have progeny.
     "From 1254 to 1256 Bernhard was administrator of the bishopric of Paderborn. He was the real founder of the territorial sovereignty of Lippe. Through his brother Simon I, bishop of Paderborn, he gained important additional positions, and the two brothers together reorganised the structures of the Church in Paderborn.
     "Bernhard supported the development of the cities of Horn and Blomberg. He was in conflict with the city of Lippstadt because he could not build a castle there. Bernhard had pursued feuds with the cities of Ravensberg and Sternberg, and with the house of Waldeck. Through these frequent feuds the house of Lippe was severely weakened under his leadership.

     "Otto I, Landgraf von Hessen, was born about 1272, the younger son of Heinrich I 'das Kind', Landgraf von Hessen, and his first wife Adelheid von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. In 1297 he married Adelheid von Ravensberg, daughter of Otto III, Graf von Ravensberg, and Hedwig zur Lippe. They had five children of whom their eldest son and heir Heinrich II and a younger son Ludwig would have progeny.
     "After the death of his father in 1308, Otto at first ruled over the 'land by the river Lahn' (the later Upper Hessen) which encompassed the area around Marburg, Giessen, Grünberg and Alsfeld. After the death of his half-brother Johann in 1311 he also ruled in Lower Hessen. This encompassed the area around the lower Fulda, Eder, Schwalm, Werra and the upper reaches of the Weser centred on Kassel, as well as the towns of Homberg (Efze), Melsungen and Rotenburg an der Fulda.
     "After Otto ruled the entire county, he resided by turns in Marburg and Kassel. He was involved in a long dispute with the archbishop of Mainz, Matthias von Bruchek. In 1324 Mainz, with the help of troops from the Mainz castle of Amöne, won the Battle in the Lahn Mountains. In 1327, with the help of troops from Trier, Mainz captured the town of Giessen, but uprisings by its citizens soon enabled Otto to regain control of the town. The dispute was only settled after Otto's victory near Wetzlar, with the mediation in 1328 of Johann 'the Blind', king of Bohemia.
     "Several charters are preserved relating to the city of Kassel, in which Otto confirmed the grant of various rights and freedoms to the city.
     "Otto took determined action against the staple-laws of the city of Münden which worked to the disadvantage of Kassel. As the duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg demanded the staple-right to half of all salt that passed through Münden, Otto imposed the same right regarding products of Münden which passed through Kassel.
     "Otto attempted to introduce the rule of primogeniture for his sons and the house of Hessen. On this basis his younger son Ludwig received the castle of Grebenstein and Hermann the castle of Nordeck as compensation. Both undertook to remain unmarried, an undertaking to which Ludwig did not adhere.
     "Otto died in Kassel on 7 January 1328. He was buried in the abbey of Ahnaberg."²

     "Torkel (Tyrgils or Torgils) Knutsson, known well as Marshal Torkel, (?–1306) of Aranäs, was constable, member of the privy council (riksråd), and virtual ruler of Sweden during the early reign of King Birger Magnusson (1280–1321).
     "When Tavastland was attacked by the Republic of Novgorod in 1292, marshal Torkel led the third Swedish crusade against Novgorod.
Biography
     "Torkel hailed from an old noble family of West Geatish ancestry and was related to the House of Bjelbos, the royal family, and like them, he had a lion in his coat of arms. He was first mentioned in 1282. In documents from 1288, he is mentioned as a knight and a member of the privy council (riksråd).
Family
     "Torkel was married twice. His first wife, whose origins are unknown, gave him a daughter named Kristina, who married Torkel's godson and later enemy duke Valdemar. She appears to have been repudiated by the duke upon her father's execution (as Valdemar is soon reported to have married with Ingeborg Eriksdottir of Norway). Torkel's second wife was the countess Hedvig of Ravensberg.
Career
     "When King Magnus Ladulås died, Torkel became regent for the underage King Birger, being the highest state official and because Magnus' foreign-born widow, Hedwig of Holstein, was not trusted to such powerful position yet.
     "When Tavastland had been attacked by the Republic of Novgorod, in 1292, marshal Torkel led the third Swedish crusade against Novgorod, in 1293 and conquered parts of Karelia, where he founded the stronghold of Viborg. In 1299-1300, he led an attack against the Novgorodians, and on the Neva River, he founded the fortress of Landskrona
     "He showed the same concerns about Swedish domestic politics. During his regency, the law of Uppland was established. He acted as Birger Jarl had done in the conflict against the church, in order to abolish the clergy's tax exemption. The clergy's discontent became apparent in 1303.
     "The old trade treaties with Lübeck were re-established, on condition that the town did not provide Novgorod with weapons or provisions.
     "In the struggles between king Birger Magnusson and his brothers, the dukes Eric and Valdemar, Torkel was faithfully on the king's side. At Torkel's castle Aranäs, in 1304, the two dukes had to sign a declaration that they would neither in Sweden, nor abroad, work against the king nor cause him harm. In spite of this declaration, the two dukes fled abroad and with the support of the Norwegian king Haakon V of Norway, they attacked Västergötland. Torkel helped the king conquer the castle of Nyköping, which belonged to duke Eric, and in Kolsäter (1305), he forced the two dukes to sign a declaration that they would not cause any harm to Torkel either.
     "When the power of the dukes was on the rise again, the marshal had to reconcile with the church, and he ordered a charter on the renewal of the church's old rights, in 1305.
     "However, Torkel was finally struck by the vengeance of his enemies. The dukes managed to win the trust of the king and poisoned the king's mind against his marshal. In December 1305, King Birger and the dukes arrived at Torkel's estate of Lena (where formerly the Battle of Lena had taken place) in Västergötland, and arrested Torkel who was taken to Stockholm in chains. In February 1306, the faithful marshal was decapitated. The dukes were so hateful against Torkel that his body was interred at the place of execution. It was later moved and properly buried at the Franciscan church in Stockholm. (Although as a practical matter, some people were buried and later transferred into a final resting place in a church once the excessive fat of their body decomposed.)
Remembrance
     "Torkel's powerful personality and tragic end has been the matter of poetry, in e.g. B. v. Beskow's tragedy Torkel Knutsson. A statue of Torkel (by Ville Vallgren) was raised, in 1908, on the square Rådhustorget in Vyborg.

     "Ludwig von Hessen, Herr zu Grebenstein, was born in 1305, a younger son of Otto I, Landgraf von Hessen, and Adelheid von Ravensberg. Consistent with his father's rule of primogeniture which heavily favoured his eldest brother Heinrich II, Ludwig received the castle of Grebenstein as compensation.
     "However, Ludwig did not stay single as he had promised, 'inspired by the Almighty to preserve the continuation of this noble line.' About 1336 he married Elisabeth von Sponheim-Kreuznach, widow of Rudolf I, Graf von Hohenberg zu Haigerloch, and daughter of Simon II, Graf von Sponheim-Kreuznach, and Elisabeth van Valkenburg. They had three children of whom Hermann II would have progeny. It was as well that he married, as his brother Heinrich II's designated son and heir Otto 'der Schütz' died in 1366 without progeny. Heinrich II then made Ludwig's son Hermann II the heir to the landgraviate of Hessen and appointed him co-ruler in 1367.
     "Ludwig died on 2 February 1345."¹ Genealogics cites:
