Otto VII, Count of Tecklenburg

Otto VII of Tecklenburg († 1450 ) was from 1426 to 1450, Count of Tecklenburg.

Life

Otto VII was the only son, the son of Count Nicholas II of Tecklenburg and Elisabeth Anna von Moers, daughter of Count Friedrich III. born of Moers.

After the death of his father Otto VII succeeded him as Count of Tecklenburg. He reigned as the Father and constantly feuding led to make the loss of his father back. This failed him and he fell into debt further. The decline was accelerated by the county.

Otto VII died at 1450th
