Their daughter and heiress, BEATRIX, Countess of Teisterbant, married Elias, Aelius, or Elius Grail, Gralius, Graielis, or Grajus, a great hero, Stadtholder of Nijmegen and first Count of Cleve. She died 734 or 5 (Ibid.). Their son and heir, THEODORIC, Count of Cleve and Teisterbant, mar­ ried Ida, Countess of Hainault. Teisterbant was held of the Bishop of Utrecht. Having ruled twenty-five years, Count Theodoric died 759. Both earldoms went to their son (Ibid.), REINALD, Count of Cleve and Teisterbant, who mar­ ried Isabella, Countess of Ardenner-Walde.

Their son and heir, JoHN, Count of Cleve and Teisterbant, married Con­ stantia, daughter of Michael I, Emperor of the East, and Procopia, daughter of the Emperor Nichephorus. 6 VAN CULEMBORG The latter, a patrician, was proclaimed Emperor and de­ prived the Empress Irene of the government in 802 ; was slain in battle 811 by Trumus, King of Bulgaria, who made a cup of his skull; his daughter Procopia married Michael I, Curoplates, called also Rangabes from being Master of the Household, who was made Emperor of the East Roman Empire in opposition to Stauratius. Michael was a friend of Charlemagne; was overthrown by Leo Armenius and became a monk in 812, after reigning two years (Oudheusden, 2; Anderson, 142, 347; Betham, 562; L'Art. IV, 290, 292). Count of Cleve and Teister­ bant, after ruling eleven years, died 801 and was suc­ ceeded by their son, BALDWIN or BALDERICK, who succeeded his brother Robert as Count of Cleve and Teisterbant. He died after attending the funeral of Charles the Great at Aken 830. He married Hildegaert (or Jolenta), daughter of Lodewyk, Count of Geneva and Provence. (Slichten­ horst, 469; Oudheusden, 2, 3).

Their third son, BALDWIN II, Count of Teisterbant and Hoey, mar­ ried the daughter of the Count de Vermandois (Oud­ heusden, 3) and was succeeded by their only daughter, (Christian name unknown), Countess of Teisterbant and Hoey, who married her kinsman Walger, son of Gerolf, Count of Friesland (ped. 4), and Magteld, sister of Hugano, Count of Zanten. Walger became Count of Teisterbant by virtue of his marriage; resided at Thiel, where he was slain in battle with the Normans (Oudheusden, 2-4); and was succeeded by their son ALLIED ANCESTRY 7 THEODORIC, Count of Teisterbant* and Hoey, who married the daughter of Arnold, twelfth Count of Cleve (ped. 2); was slain in battle with the Normans in 880 with his wife; was succeeded by their son Henry in the earldom~ the manors of Bosichem, Zeelen, etc., passing to their younger son Gerbrand (Oudheusden, 4).
