United Duchies of Jülich-Cleves-Berg

The union of Jülich, Cleves, Berg, Mark and Ravensberg formed by the marriage of John III of Cleves and Maria of Jülich-Berg (1521). John William's death without heirs in 1609 set off the War of the Jülich Succession; the Treaty of Xanten (1614) divided the lands between Brandenburg (Cleves, Mark, Ravensberg) and Palatinate-Neuburg (Jülich, Berg).
