Sittard, manor and town, municipality in the Dutch province of Limburg. Shortly after 1332, the manor of Sittard passed to
a younger branch of the House of Valkenburg, which already owned the manor of Born. Walraven IV of Valkenburg, under the title
of Lord of Born, minted coins in Sittard, among other places, where he struck imitations of coins from other regions. Following
the murder of Walraven IV in 1378, his brother Reinoud succeeded him. Reinoud also minted coins in Sittard under the title
of Lord of Born. He also imitated coins. After 1398, Odilia van Salm also produced imitations. In 1400, Odilia and Jan sold
the manorial rights over Born and Sittard to William (1371–1402), Duke of Gelre and Jülich.
