John II The Pious or The Babymaker Duke of Cleves Count of Mark (German: Johann II. der Pious oder der Kindermacher Herzog von Kleve Graf von Mark) (1458–1521) was a son of John I Duke of Cleves and Elizabeth of Nevers. He ruled Cleves from 1481 to his death in 1521. He was called The Babymaker since he fathered sixty-three illegitimate children before his marriage with Mathilde of Hesse in 1490.
