; Per Genealogics:
     "Ludwig was the son of Hermann, Graf von Ravensberg, and Jutta von Thüringen. He became Graf von Ravensberg-Bielefeld after the division of the inheritance in 1226 with his brother Otto II (who became Otto von Ravensberg in Vlotho). This division permanently weakened the county of Ravensberg.
     "With his first wife Gertrud zur Lippe, daughter of Hermann II, Edler Herr zur Lippe, and his first wife Oda von Tecklenburg, he had four daughters who all married; of these Sophie, Gertrud and Jutta would have progeny. Gertrud died in 1244, and Ludwig married Adelheid von Dassel, widow of Jens Jakobsen (Galen), and daughter of Adolf, Graf von Dassel und Nienover, and Adelheid von Wassel. They had two sons of whom Otto III would have progeny.
     "Ludwig took part in the crusade called by Archbishop Gebhard von Bremen against the Stedingers, and on 27 May 1234 he fought in the Battle of Altenesch, the war's decisive battle. By tradition he feuded with Lippe, Tecklenburg and Werl-Arnsberg and the ecclesiastical powers of Osnabrück, Münster and Herford. In 1240 he established the fortress castle of Sparrenburg.
     "After his brother Otto II died in 1244, the Tecklenburgs demanded the release of the rule over Vlotho. This led Ludwig to pursue simultaneous feuds against the Tecklenburgs over the castle of Vlotho and against the counts of Waldeck, two von der Lippe brothers and the bishop of Münster over the castle of Rheda. In 1245 Ludwig was defeated and incarcerated by the Tecklenburgs and their allies, the Bentheims, the citizens of Oldenburg and Simon von der Lippe. In 1246 a peace agreement was reached at Süntelbeck, under which Ludwig had to pay 800 marks in ransom and lost the rule over Vlotho to the Tecklenburgs. Ludwig died on 15 January 1249."⁴

; Per Wikipedia: "Adolf II of Dassel (reigned 1210 to 1257) and his brother Ludolf III (reigned 1209-10 to 1219-20) were given Schöneberg as a fiefdom by the electorate of Mainz.[3] In 1244, Adolf was also given Gieselwerder as a fiefdom by the electorate of Mainz and made its burgmann."⁴



; Per Genealogics:
     "Adolf was born before 1180, the second son of Ludolf, Graf von Dassel. His older brother Ludolf II was his father's heir as ruler over the countship of Dassel, and Adolf spent the greater part of his life in military campaigns.
     "About 1200 he married Adelheid von Wassel, widow of Bernhard II von Ratzeburg (who had died in 1198, predeceasing his son Bernhard III), and daughter of Konrad, Graf von Wassel, and Adelheid von Loccum. They had three sons and a daughter Adelheid, of whom Ludolf, Adolf and Adelheid are recorded with progeny. Adelheid married first Jens Jakobsen (Galen), then Ludwig, Graf von Ravensberg.
     "After the fall of Heinrich 'the Lion', duke of Saxony, in 1180, Adolf became a vassal of the Cologne archbishop and duke of Westphalia, Philipp I von Heinsberg, the first marshal of Westphalia. In 1189 Heinrich 'the Lion' again found growing supporters, including Graf Bernhard II von Ratzeburg. Then Adolf von Dassel, who was governing the lands of his cousin Adolf III von Schauenburg und Holstein, during his absence, was only able to retain the city of Lübeck and the castle of Segeberg. However, when Heinrich 'the Lion' approached Lübeck, the citizens, warned by the fate of Bardowick ravaged by Heinrich, opened the city gates to him without a fight, after Adolf had been assured safe passage for his men and the mother and the wife of Graf Adolf III. However the battles breaking out in the spring of 1190 ended badly for the Welf supporters of Heinrich 'the Lion'. Adolf defeated an army led by Bernhard II von Ratzeburg, Helmhold von Schwerin and the Welf truchsess Jordan von Blankenburg.
     "After the double election for King of the Germans in 1198 Adolf first supported Friedrich Barbarossa's son Philipp von Hohenstaufen, Herzog von Schwaben, but about 1204 he changed his allegiance to the Welf side and remained a loyal follower of Heinrich the Lion's son Otto von Braunschweig, who ruled as King (later Emperor) Otto IV. He was the last of his family who was close to the king.
     "As Bernhard III von Ratzeburg had survived his father by only a year and had already died before the wedding of his mother Adelheid and Adolf von Dassel, Adolf inherited through his marriage parts of the Wassel properties north of Hildesheim, and on the recommendation of Adolf III von Holstein, he was also invested with the countship of Ratzeburg by Herzog Bernhard von Sachsen. However in 1200 or 1201 he lost this to the Danish king Knut VI, after his defeat at the Battle of Waschow, and he was forced to flee.
     "In 1209 Adolf took part in Otto IV's campaign in Italy. Later he took part in the crusader siege of Damietta and afterwards on the side of Albrecht von Buxthoeven, bishop of Riga, in his battle for Livland. He eventually returned home, and died some years later in 1224. He was buried in the Abbey of Klosterrath."¹
