* June 30 – Charles of Egmond, Duke of Guelders ( b. 1467 )

* November 9 – Charles, Duke of Guelders ( d. 1538 )

In 1514, Charles of Egmond, duke of Guelders, took it from the dukes of Burgundy ; in 1543, it fell to the emperor Charles V. As capital of the so-called " Kwartier van Veluwe " it joined the Union of Utrecht in 1579 and became part of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands in 1585.

Adolf, who had enjoyed the support of Burgundian Duke Philip III (" the Good ") and of the four major cities of Guelders during his rebellion, was unwilling to strike a compromise with his father when this was demanded by Philip's successor, Duke Charles the Bold.

Charles had Duke Adolf captured and imprisoned in 1471 and reinstated Arnold on the throne of the Duchy of Guelders.

The bargain was completed in 1472-73, and upon Arnold's death in 1473, Duke Charles added Guelders to the " Low Countries " portion of his Valois Duchy of Burgundy.

Upon Charles ' defeat and death at the Battle of Nancy in January 1477, Duke Adolf was released from prison by the Flemish, but died the same year at the head of a Flemish army besieging Tournai, after the States of Guelders had recognized him once more as Duke.

Subsequently, Guelders was ruled by Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, husband of Charles the Bold's daughter and heir, Mary.

The last independent Duke of Guelders was Adolf's son Charles of Egmond ( 1467 – 1538, r1492 – 1538 ), who was raised at the Burgundian court of Charles the Bold and fought for the House of Habsburg in battles against the armies of Charles VIII of France, until being captured in the Battle of Béthune ( 1487 ) during the War of the Public Weal ( also known as the Mad War ).

In 1492, the citizens of Guelders, who had become disenchanted with the rule of Maximilian, ransomed Charles and recognized him as their Duke.

This alliance emboldened William to challenge Emperor Charles V's claim to Guelders, but the French, mightily engaged on multiple fronts as they were in the long struggle to against the Habsburg " encirclement " of France, proved less reliable than the Duke's ambitions required, and he was unable to hold on to the duchy ; in 1543, by the terms of the Treaty of Venlo, Duke William conceded the Duchy of Guelders to the Emperor.

For example, the double marriage in 1385 at Cambrai of his son, John the Fearless, and his daughter, Marguerite, to Margaret of Bavaria and William of Bavaria, son and daughter of Albert, Count of the neighbouring Hainault and Holland, prepared the later union of Hainault and Holland with Burgundy and Flanders, as carried out by Philip's grandson, Philip the Good ; the marriages also inserted the new Valois Burgundy dynasty into the Wittelsbach network of alliances: the other daughters of Count Albert had married William I, Duke of Guelders and Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia ; their cousin, Isabeau of Bavaria, had married Charles VI of France, and become Queen of France.
