Lover in 1595.
"When William died in 1592, John William inherited the duchies and Jakobea tried to rule on behalf of her husband, who had been locked up because of his temper tantrums. She had been born a Protestant, but was raised a Roman Catholic, and did not choose for either side. She never became pregnant, possibly because her husband was impotent. She had a relationship with the much younger Dietrich von Hall zu Ophoven, who was Amtmann at Monheim am Rhein and was eventually arrested and locked up in the tower of Dusseldorf Castle. She tried to plead her case in the Roman Rota and at the imperial court in Prague, but the case made little progress. The Catholic side, represented by her sister-in-law Sibylle of Julich-Cleves-Berg, then took matters into their own hands." (Wikipedia)
" . . . John William's accession in January 1592 only intensified the contest for control. Jakobe now sought to be recognized as regent and Rudolf instructed his commissioners to promote a working relationship between her and the councils. With neither party ready to compromise, a showdown ensued. In January 1595 the councillors imprisoned Jakobe after she had imprudently taken a lover. In September 1596 they looked the other way when the Catholic party at court had her strangled or smothered in her cell. . . ." (Dynasty & Piety: 296)

In 1830, following her father-in-law's death, she became Grand Duchess consort of Hesse and the Rhine." (Wikipedia) Children not by her husband. "Ludwig II, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine (1777-1848) was married to Wilhelmina of Baden (1788-1836), but the youngest of Wilhelmina’s seven children were fathered by Baron August von Senarclens de Grancy. He served as Grand Master of Stables, Major General and Knight of Honor and Devotion in the Order of Malta. It appears he was also devoted to the Grand Duchess. His paternity of the later children of Wilhelmina of Baden was well known among diplomatic circles, and correspondence exists that detailed this fact to reigning sovereigns, such as Queen Victoria and the Russian Tsar. Wilhelmina’s lover fathered children that were recognized as Ludwig’s legal heirs (and with his consent). Two of these children, Alexander (1823-1888) and Marie of Hesse (1824-1880) are the ancestors of the last Tsars of Russia, as well as the Mountbatten family. " (Hemard.
