Anna von Tecklenburg-Schwerin (1532-1582) was the ruling suo jure Countess of Tecklenburg and the lordships of Wevelinghoven and Rheda between 1557 and 1582.
Eberwin claimed that he was entitled to rule her inheritance as Count jure uxoris.
After her release, the nobility of Tecklenburg sided with Anna, and accused Eberwin of adultery.
Anna herself accused him of spending too much on luxury items, such as precious horses, and a portrait of himself by Hermann tom Ring.
[2] After mediation by the rulers of neighbouring territories, Anna and Eberwin agreed to a separation from bed and board.
