John II of Sponheim-Kreuznach

John II, called the Lame (c. 1270–1340), was a count of the Sponheim-Kreuznach line. From 1290 he ruled the front County of Sponheim jointly with his brother Simon II, and by 1300 they had divided it along the Soonwald forest, John keeping the southern part around Bad Kreuznach.

He backed anti-king Frederick the Fair and feuded with Archbishop Baldwin of Trier. He died on 11 March 1340 and was buried at Pfaffen-Schwabenheim, his lands passing to his nephew Walram.
