February 16 1402 William I of Guelders and Jülich died. 2nd great uncle of Marie of Guelders, Queen of Scots. William participated in crusades against Lithuanians in East Prussia in the territories of the Teutonic Order. With William of Holland, first in 1383, and later in 1388–89 and 1393. He was an ally of the English in the Hundred Years’ War. And continuing the enmity from the War of the Succession of Guelders, he fought successfully in 1386-1388 with his father against the Duchy of Brabant, which was allied with France and Burgundy. William’s army advanced far into Brabant, although his army was stalled in a battle near Grave, North Brabant in July of 1388. His actions and alliance with England have been seen as reckless, and raised the ire of Charles VI of France, who advanced on Guelders with an army of 100,000. William narrowly escaped disaster with an apology. Shortly William was taken prisoner near Stolpe in Pomerania, the land of Wartislaw VII, Duke of Pomerania. He was taken to the castle of Falkenburg, where he stayed for six months. Conrad Zöllner von Rothenstein, the grand master of the Teutonic Order, won his freedom. William then returned to Guelders by way of Bohemia, where he visited his brother-in-law, Wenceslaus, King of the Romans.
