Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed the dismissal of "comes Gerhardus et frater eius Heinricus" from the Vogteischaft of Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 5 Apr 1118 witnessed by "Comes Gerhardus et frater eius Heinricus, Comes Adolfus de Monte, Comes Adolfus de Saphenberg, Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Gerhardus iunior filius Gerhardi, Gerhardus de Caesle, Arnulfus de Odenkirche"[119].

"Adolfus comes de Monte" confirmed a donation to Köln St Pancraz by charter dated 1160 witnessed by "meus filius…Engilbertus…"[124]. Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that “Adulphus...comes de Altena” founded “cenobium Montis Veteris” and was buried there[125]. A memorial in Altenburg records the death “IV Id Oct” 1152 of “Adolphus ex comite monachus et fundator hujus cœnobii”[126], although if the 1160 charter is correctly dated the year is incorrect. married firstly ([before 1115]) ADELHEID, daughter of [GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Cappenberg] & his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen]. Adelheid is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[127] as the daughter of Gottfried [I] Graf von Cappenberg and his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen. However, another table[128] shows Adelheid as the daughter of Beatrix by her second husband Heinrich Graf von Rietberg. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. It is not therefore possible at this moment to judge which version is more likely to be correct. The answer may lie in the transmisison of the advocatiam of Werden abbey, previously held by Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg and which the following charter was transmitted to Adolf [II] Graf von Berg: Lüdbert Abbot of Werden and "domnum Thuringum" confirmed “precarii nostri in Dale” to Werden by charter dated 1115, witnessed by “Adolfus advocatus noster...Euerhardus frater eius, Bernherus comes...”[129]. It appears probable therefore that Adelheid was the daughter of Graf Gottfried [I] and that the advocatiam of Werden was her dowry. If that is correct, Adelheid presumably married before the date of this charter. It should be noted that Adolf was recorded as Vogt of Werden in 1093 when he was still a boy (see above), which suggests that arrnagements for the marriage were made when the parties were children. married secondly ([1130]%29 [--- von Sponheim, daughter of ENGELBERT [II] von Sponheim Marchese of Istria, Duke of Carinthia & his wife Uta von Passau [Ratpotonen]]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissa Mathildis Campaniensis et uxor Renaldi comitis Nivernensis et comitissa Montis Veteris iuxta Coloniam et mater illorum Romanorum qui Froiepain dicuntur" as sisters of "archiepiscopi Coloniensis Frederici"[130]. In the case of the two sisters named first, other sources confirm that they were daughters of Engelbert Marchese of Istria, Duke of Carinthia. It is possible therefore that the other two named sisters (of which the countess of Berg was one) were also Engelbert’s daughters. Ascertaining the precise family relationship between all four presumed sisters and Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln depends on interpreting apparently contradictory sources which link the archbishop with the Sponheim and Schwarzenberg/Regensberg families, a problem which is discussed in detail in the document BAVARIA NOBILITY. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that Adolf [II]’s second wife was the daughter of Engelbert, son of Berthold [I] [von Schwarzenberg][131]. No primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct: it is presumably consistent with another theory about the origin of Archbishop Friedrich.

Adolf [II] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

• a) ADOLF ([after 1128/30]-killed in battle Damascus [24/28] Jul 1148). The Chronica regia Pantaleonis records that, during the course of Louis VII King of France’s crusade in 1148, “Adolfus fortissimus adolescens, filius Adolfi comitis de Berge” was killed in battle at Damascus as the army was travelling southwards through Syria[132]. The term “adolescens” suggests that Adolf could have been 15/20 years old. If that is correct, he might have been born from either marriage of his father. His name suggests that he was his father’s oldest son. The date of his death can be estimated more precisely from the early 14th century Kurdish historian Abu al-Feda who dates the start of the siege of Damascus to “le 6 de rebia premier” [25 Jul 1148][133].

Adolf [II] & his second wife had five children:

• b) EBERHARD von Berg (-23 Jan 1180, bur Altenberg). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Fredericum et Brunonem qui in Colonia promoti archiepiscopi...extiterunt...et Everhardum et Engelbertum” as the sons of “Adulphus comes”[134]. Wolbero Abbot of Köln St. Pantaleon restored "subadvocat[um] in villa nostra Huttorp", removed from “subadvocatus...Gumpertus cum matre sua Gerdrude”, to “comite Adolpho” by charter dated to [1151/53], witnessed by “ipse comes Adolphus, filius eius Euerhardus...”[135]. Graf von Altena 1161. Reinald Archbishop of Köln confirmed the property of Kloster Altenburg by charter dated 1166 witnessed by "…Albertus comes de Molbach, Willelmus comes Iuliacensis, Comes Euerardus de Altina et frater eius comes Engilbertus…"[136].
  • c) FRIEDRICH (-Pavia 15 Dec 1158, bur Kloster Altenberg). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Fredericum et Brunonem qui in Colonia promoti archiepiscopi...extiterunt...et Everhardum et Engelbertum” as the sons of “Adulphus comes”[137]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Fredericus…secundus de sorore superioris Frederici" when recording his election as Archbishop of Köln[138]. Provost of St Georg, Köln 1135/36. Elected Bishop of Utrecht 1150. Archbishop of Köln 1156. The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records the election of "Fridericus prepositus sancti Georgii, filius fratris Brunonis" as archbishop of Köln[139]. He died after falling from his horse[140].
  • d) ENGELBERT von Berg (-Brančevo, Serbia Jul 1189). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Fredericum et Brunonem qui in Colonia promoti archiepiscopi...extiterunt...et Everhardum et Engelbertum” as the sons of “Adulphus comes”[141]. "Adolfus comes de Monte" confirmed a donation to Köln St Pancraz by charter dated 1160 witnessed by "meus filius…Engilbertus…"[142]. Graf von Berg.
  • e) BRUNO (-23 Apr 1196, bur Altenberg). Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka names “Fredericum et Brunonem qui in Colonia promoti archiepiscopi...extiterunt...et Everhardum et Engelbertum” as the sons of “Adulphus comes”[143]. Provost of St Georg, Köln 1156/91. Provost of St Apostelen 1160/66. Kustos of Köln Cathedral before 1179. Provost of Köln Cathedral 1168/92. Archbishop of Köln 1192, resigned 1193.

Monk at Altenberg.
  • f) ADOLF von Berg (-1197 or after). Graf von Berg. Vogt von Dünwald 1193.
• 2. EBERHARD von Berg (-20 Mar or 22 May before 1152). [Sigewin Archbishop of Köln donated property to Köln St Georg by charter dated to [1079/89], witnessed by "…Adolf et filius suus Euerhard…"[145]. It appears likely that these names refer to Adolf [I] [von Berg] and his son.] Lüdbert Abbot of Werden and "domnum Thuringum" confirmed “precarii nostri in Dale” to Werden by charter dated 1115, witnessed by “Adolfus advocatus noster...Euerhardus frater eius, Bernherus comes...”[146].

Monk at Morimond 1121/24. Abbot of St Georgenberg im Thur 1145. A memorial in Altenburg records the death “XI Kal Jun” of “Everardus comes de Alzena”[148].
• 3. BRUNO (-Trani [29] May 1137, bur Bari San Niccolò). Provost of St Kastor at Koblenz 1119. Canon at Trier Cathedral. Provost of St Gereon at Köln 1127. Elected Bishop of Trier 1130. Archbishop of Köln 1131. Anselm of Gembloux’s continuation of Sigebert's Chronica records the death in 1131 of "Frittericus Coloniæ archiepiscopus” and the succession of “domnus Bruno ex clero sancti Petri” as archbishop in 1132[149]. The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records the election of "Bruno…e Francia" as archbishop of Köln, recording in a later passage that a later archbishop was "Fridericus prepositus sancti Georgii, filius fratris Brunonis", adding that Bruno died a few days after Emperor Lothar at Bari and was buried there[150].
• 4. [GISELA (-after 20 Mar 1143). Heinrich Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the foundation of Kloster Georgenthal by "Sizzo comes de Keverenberc…cum coniuge sua Gisila", with the consent of "filiorum suorum Heinrici et Guntheri", by charter dated 20 Mar 1143[151]. She was related to the family of the Grafen von Berg: Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that “Adulphus comes” visited “ad Thuringie...consanguineos suos nobilem virum Zizonem comitem et Gisellam comitissam coniugem suam” donated “montem sancti Georgii” to Graf Adolf’s Cistercian abbey[152]. The editor of the Monumenta Germaniæ Historica edition of the Chronica indicates that Gisela was the sister of Graf Adolf but cites no source on which this statement is based[153]. The word “consanguineos” could refer to a more remote family relationship, although the inclusion of Gisela’s name does suggest that the family connection was through her not her husband. m SIZZO [III] Graf von Schwarzburg, son of GÜNTHER [I] Graf von Schwarzburg & his wife --- Iaropolkovna (-19 Jun 1160).]
