• Notes

  Gerhard VI (~1367-1404) was the Count of Holstein-Rendsburg from 1382. Gerhard VI was born around 1367, the son of Count Henry II from the Rendsburg line of the House of Schauenburg and Ingeburg of Mecklenburg. On 15 September 1386 he was rewarded with the Duchy of Schleswig by King Olav III of Denmark. After the lines of Plön and Kiel had died out in 1390 he succeeded in 1403 to the whole of Holstein with the exception of Holstein-Pinneberg. That placed Schleswig-Holstein under one ruler. He fell in the Battle on the Hamme on 4 August 1404 during the attempt to subjugate Dithmarschen. Family: In 1391 Gerhard married Catherine Elizabeth of Brunswick, daughter of Magnus II of Brunswick-Lüneburg. They had the following children: Henry IV (b 1397; d 1427), Duke of Schleswig, Count of Holstein Ingeborg (b 1398; d 1465) Helvig (b ca. 1400; d ca. 1436), married Dietrich of Oldenburg, mother of Christian I, King of Denmark.
