South of the river Ruhr and north of the river Sieg. The Ezzoner origin of the house of Berg corresponds with the location of their counties and the fact that descendants from the house of Berg, in the 11th up to 13th century occupies important positions. Archbishops of Cologne, Trier, bishops of Munster and Osnabruck, Abbis and Abbot of Abbeys and the counts were the keepers of guardianship Essen and Werden on the river Ruhr. Adolf IV of Berg-Altena (1132 until 1160) count of Altena. He married twice, Adelheid von Arnsberg and later on Irmgrad von Wasserburg daughter of Engelbert of Schwarzenberg. Adolf built the Schloss Altena. He joined in 1160 the monastery in Altenberg. He is father of crusader (Adolf V, killed in Damascus in 1108). Stamvader van two Archbishops of Cologne, a Duke of Westfalia and four Prince Bishops of Munster and OsnabrĂĽck. Oldest son Adolf V died and his next sons Engelbert I and Eberhard I of Berg followed. Adolf V of Berg(1189 till 1218), he took part in 1212 to the Crusade against the Albigensian. He died in 1218 in combat as commander of the troops in Damiette, in the delta of the Nile, with the Fifth Crusade. He left no son and Berg passed under the regency of his brother Engelbert I. to his daughter Irmgard.
610:, at his turn the oldest surviving male of the inherence line, married Elisabeth also a Neuenahr but left no children. Again it looked as if the county would come to the house Neuenahr. Johan, who was put under extra pressure from them about his properties. After the death of his wife, may have wondered why he too had not had children when he married a Neuenahr. As a widower, at the last minute in 1508, he dedicated his estate to his adoptive daughter Irmgard of Sayn at her marriage to Wirich V of Daun-Falkenstein. Irmgard who was the daughter of Johans sister Maria of Limburg and count Sebastian of Sayn. That inherence by adoption was discussed and granted by William duke of JĂĽlich-Berg, son of Gerhard VII, duke of JĂĽlich-Berg and Sophie of Saxe-Lauenburg. When Gerhard VII died in 1475, William became both duke of JĂĽlich and duke of Berg. The county Limburg Lenne (still a condominium) not was a primogeniture in strictly (or more precisely male primogeniture) The Male Heir, oldest surviving son of the body, was the principle that feudal fief right, pass to a closest heir of the body. The closest descendant of original holder in 1511, was in fact his sister Maria.

146:. His first brother Henry (1241 -1243) died young and second Johan (1247–1277), died at the age of thirty, left three children. Johan is the ancestor of the house Lords of Limburg Stirum. The Counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg and Broich were not count by name with a late 17th century certified title but actually ruled the county of Limburg-Lenne since the 13th century, until the first quarter of the 16th century. The last count Johan (1464–1511) who had no descendants of his own. None of his only two male relatives, cousins Diederick and Adolf of Limburg, sons of his former godfather Johan of Limburg (1421–1472), had inheritance rights, as explained below. To prevent the family of his former wife Von Neuenahr from taking the county, Count Johan adopted his cousin Irmgard of Sayn at her marriage to Winrich of Daun. She and her husband inherited the county.
171:, going back to the 9th century. Since the 9th century, the house of Limburg Hohenlimburg counted five Counts Palatine of Lothringia, several Dukes of Westphalia, Bavaria, Carinthia and Swabia, seven Archbishops of Cologne, one Prince-Bishop of Speyer, more than ten bishops in the Holy Roman Empire, and at least two saints of the Catholic Church. The territorial authority of the family, (counts of Berg since 1077), next counts of Altena and Isenberg and then since 1246 counts of Limburg, was significantly reduced following the opposition of Frederick II, count of Isenberg to the aggression of his cousin, the Archbishop of Cologne, Engelbert II of Berg. Leading to the murder of the latter. The other branch, the counts of the Marck, later rose in importance as dukes of Cleves, JĂĽlich and Berg, dukes of Nevers and Bouillon, counts of Schleiden, etc.
193:(866–904), count of the Bliesgau, Keldachgau and Bonngau. Erenfried I. married Adelgunde daughter of Konrad II of Burgondy and Jutta of Friaul. He had Carolingian ancestors along the female line since Jutta von Friaul was the daughter of Gisela (820–874) sister of king Charles the Bold. The Ezzonian dynasty (named after Count Palatine Ezzo) were the Counts Palatine of Lotharingia during the 10th and 11th centuries. They were important in governance of the region of the Middle and Lower Rhine. In spite of their military accomplishments in favour of the German emperors, the Ezzonians did not succeed in building a territorial entity in Lotharingia. During a limited period, they were, however, assigned the duchies of Swabia, Bavaria and Carinthia.

A means of breaking a deadlock over disputed rights more often tried at that time. Accepted as long as it was a success. But in this case ended in tragedy. Archbishop Engelbert was unluckily killed. This event was of far-reaching significance to German history. Frederik fled and found temporary protection with an ally, count Otto of Tecklenburg. Frederick of Isenberg was outlawed and excommunicated. He was stripped of all offices and stewardships and his personal wealth was confiscated. In the winter of 1225/1226 the new Archbishop of Cologne,

Diederick of Limburg with son Everhard did not personally participate, but did support the Cologne archbishop. As a result, great-nephew Count Everhard of the Mark, who had sided with Duke Johan I of Brabant and was one of the victors, destroyed the Neuen Isenberg and took and occupied the Hohenlimburg. Diederik I, Everhard I and other family members fled to their alloidal castle Styrum (near present-day Oberhausen), where Diederik died in 1301.

In the tumultuous trial in Nuremberg a few months later, a staircase collapsed, killing many of Frederik's supporters and opponents. Frederik van Isenberg was convicted, taken away from his county and possessions, and put to death on the wheel in Cologne on November 13 in the year 1226 in front of St. Severin's church. Sofia stayed by his side that day and night. Early in the morning of November 14 he breathed his last.
487:. It was clear that the future male-line primogeniture was granted. In 1296, Diederik I eighty years of age, his son fifty and his grandson Dietrich III(II) twenty years old. More than 30 years, Everhard had fought together with his father to regain the county and allodial family property. After his first brothers Henry (1241 -1243), Johan (1247–1277) finally Everhard became the ancestor of the house Counts of Limburg. According the noble feudal right, the county Limburg Lenne, fief of the counts of Berg, passed to him. He died in 1308 and the county passed to his son Diederik III(II). At their coins minted
