Historique: Adolphe de la Marck
Né en août 1288, est le troisième fils d'Eberhard III comte de la Marck et d'Ermengarde de Berg. Il est prévôt de Saint-Martin à Worms en 1298 (à l'âge de 10 ans). En 1308, il est prévôt de Saint-Séverin à Cologne et est chanoine en 1310. Il fait ses études à l'université d'Orléans. Le pape Clément V lui confie, le 4 avril 1313, la principauté de Liège sur la recommandation de Philippe le Bel, roi de France. Il est consacré le 10 juin 1313. Il est l'un des princes les plus autoritaires de son époque, imbu de son autorité, impétueux et hautain. Il est en lutte perpétuelle contre ses sujets. Il signe la paix de Fexhe, le 18 juin 1316, qui règle la manière dont l'évêque doit exercer son autorité judiciaire. C'est la base de la constitution du pays de Liège. Il décède au cours d'un accès de colère le 3 novembre 1344 à Clermont-sur-Meuse. Il est enterré dans le ch½ur de la cathédrale de Liège.
