Gerhard V of Jülich
Gerhard V of Jülich (before 1250–1328), son of Count William IV, succeeded his brother Walram as count in 1297. He fought for King Adolf at Göllheim in 1298 and, after Adolf's fall, submitted to Albert I, who confirmed his imperial fief.
In 1300 he aided Albert and secured Rhine tolls against the Archbishop of Cologne. In 1313 he backed Louis the Bavarian for the crown and allowed his Aachen coronation. He died on 29 July 1328, succeeded by his son William.
