About Edward, Duke of Guelders

Edward was the duke of Guelders and count of Zutphen from 1361 until 1371. After his brother Reginald became Duke of Guelders in 1343, the 14-year-old Edward and his Bronckhorst allies launched a princely rebellion in 1350 against Reginald and their Heeckeren rivals, culminating in the battle at Tiel, capturing his brother in 1361. Edward became Duke of Guelders, but in a dispute with Wenceslaus I of Luxembourg was killed at the battle of Baesweiler in 1371. His imprisoned brother Reginald was released, and reinstated as duke of Guelders.
