Weldern, Welderen, an Adeliches, and now mehro raised in the count status in the Netherlands, and that in the Duchy of Geldern, from which Jahn von Weldern around 1672 emerged as Dutch general lieutenant. Another of this sex slept his life in this very place in 1709 on November 2, after he had been fatally damaged by a horse trap on the head. This is probably the one general major of Welderen, who in 1704 in an action with the Spaniards and French at Castel Branco. Bernhard, Count of Weldern, Lord of Ubbergen, was a member of the Province of Geldern in 1745: just as Stephan Adrian, Count of Weldern, Countess of the Nederick's Waltz, was in the State Council for money in such years. At the beginning of 1734, the latter went away secretly without proof of his family, after having consumed most of the precious things in money and bills; he turned to the Catholic Lands, namely to Liège, where he publicly professed the Roman Catholic religion. Although various people assured him that he had done it out of a conscience, others did not want to admit it so badly, but rather wanted to know that he was doing it for debt; and others, that he fell in love with a shrewd Catholic woman who, despite having married, was willing to take it.
