Gerard was the first-born son of the count of Guelders Henry I[1] and Agnes of Arnstein.[2] He was also the older brother of Otto I.[3]

In 1181, Gerard married Ida, Countess of Boulogne,[4][5][6] first-born daughter of Matthew of Alsace and Marie I, Countess of Boulogne.[6] Gerard died the same year.[5] Ida then returned to her county, taking everything her deceased husband had gifted her, using force when necessary.[5]

Gerard of Guelders has no known descendants.[citation needed]
