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.

He married Margaret, daughter of Floris III, Count of Holland, and his wife Ada of Huntingdon.

According to the German, Dutch and French Wikipedia there was only one Dietrich between 1172 and 1198. This Dietrich was the son of Dietrich II and Adelaide of Sulzbach and was married to Margaret of Holland. This would make Dietrich III and Dietrich IV the same person.

As I Remember My Parents by Norma Tilley Kerbs · 25 December 2014

Mother was a beautiful hard working woman. She loved working in her flower garden and always had such beautiful flowers. Everyone that came to the place admired her flower garden.

We worked in the field and when we came in for dinner, she always had a good hot meal ready for us. In the winter when it was cold and we had to walk down the lane in snow drifts as high as we were, she always had something warm waiting for us when we got there.

She taught us to cook and to can. I loved watching her make all those loaves of bread and we used to fight to see who was going to make or roll the rolled sugar cookies.

We would pick cherries and she canned over one hundred two quart bottles of cherries every year plus all the other kinds of fruits and vegetables. Mother always had that little cellar full come fall. She taught us to clean house and in the spring we took everything out of the house and cleaned it from top to bottom. Every Saturday the house was cleaned and dusted.

Mother had a pit in the backyard where she make her own soap for washing her clothes. She was never idle even when she sat down she would crochet doilies or was making rag rugs. In the winter she made beautiful quilt tops and was always quilting.

We would go to town on Saturday nights and the folks would give us some money to spend any way we wanted to and Mother would love to sit and watch the people go by.

Mother was always willing and ready to help when needed and if someone was ill she was right there.

I didn't have the opportunity of having my mother with me when raising my family but I remember the things she did for us when we were ill.

I remember the trips to Salt Lake conference and Yellowstone and the hills. We worked hard but our parents always showed us good times too.

I have always wished that my children could have seen and known what a wonderful grandmother they had.

I loved my Dad, he was a wonderful man. I was proud to go to church and see him sit up on the stand when he was bishop and to see the white streak in his hair. I loved to hear him speak in church and he always made it interesting to sit and listen.

When we worked at the beet dump, I loved to take my lunch and to with him and spend the day.

I remember going to the hills and cutting timber and loading it on the wagon and bringing it home.

What a great shock it was to Dad when Mother died, he took over the household chores and learned to make bread and could cook as good as any woman. When we would go to see him he would never let you go away hungry. He would always fix something.

It was joy to have him in our home and my children would gather around him and we would talk or sing for hours. I would love to go home and talk to Dad, if you went with the intention of cheering him up, you were the one who came away feeling better. He taught me to appreciate the things have and not be too quick to judge people. He loved his family and would have done anything for them.

I am glad my children had the opportunity to know their grandfather. They thought he was the greatest man on earth.
