Subject: Dirk III, Count of 'Holland':
. "Dirk III, Count of Holland 993-1039, born circa 982, died 27 May 1039
son of Arnuld and Liutgard of Luxemburg, married Othelhildis and they
are the parents of Dirk IV and Floris I.
. Dirk III ruled 46 years. He appeared to have supported highwaymen who
caused a lot of trouble not only for the farmers, forcing them to pay
protection money, but also for merchants by creating a toll post on their
way to England.
. These merchants complained to the Emperor who, in 1018, sent an
army. However, this army was so ineffectual in the marshes of Holland,
after being decimated and robbed, that its general, Duke Godfrey of
Lorraine [GODFREY IV (RIN 4589) ?], was imprisoned and only released
after he swore he would not return to avenge his defeat. These
'Friesians' did not like their counts but outside interference was even
more resented."
