Life

He was the son of Heinrich IV. ( The old man ), hereditary bailiff of Neersen, Anrath and Uerdingen, and his first wife Aleidis (also Adelheid) von Holzbüttgen, the daughter of Johann von Holzbüttgen († before 1379), Elector of Cologne bailiff of Oedt and Kempen .

When his father married his second wife Agnes von Hoemen in 1397, he renounced the paternal bailiwick of Uerdingen in her favor. In return he was promised the Holzbüttgen house, a castle in the Electorate of Cologne, which Aleidis von Holzbüttgen had brought into the marriage. 1402 he was appointed by kurkölner Archbishop with the house Holzbüttgen and related lands mortgaged . In 1405 he renounced the castle and bailiwick of Neersen including Anrath in favor of his father and his stepmother, which after their death a possible son from this second marriage should inherit preferentially.

When his father died around 1414, his second marriage had not resulted in any sons, but only two daughters, Kunigunde and Aleidis. Therefore he now inherited his father's castle Neersen , as well as the bailiwicks Neersen, Anrath and Uerdingen.
