Dirk I Van Brederode
Dirk van Teylingen, lord of Brederode ( la, Theodericus de Theylingen) ( 1180 – 1236) was lord of Brederode and landdrost of the counts of Holland. Life He was the son of William van Teylingen. Two mothers are linked to him; Mary of Castricum and Agnes of Bentheim. Dirk is seen by some historians as the founder of the House of Brederode; the territory of Brederode, however, had already been in the possession of his father, who came from the Van Teylingen family, making it possible to consider William to be the first lord of Brederode. In 1226 Dirk was appointed drost at the court of the count of Holland. He served under Floris IV of Holland and William I of Holland. During the absence of the count, he was the highest official in the county. Family and children Dirk married Aleid Averadis van Heusden around 1215; they had at least six children: * William, 2nd lord of Brederode (1226–1285), Dirk's successor *Dirk of Brederode (1228–1279), knighted around 1255 *Floris of Br ...

Van Brederode
The Lords of Van Brederode (''Heeren van Brederode'') were a noble family from Holland who played an important role during the Middle Ages and the Early modern period.

The lords of Brederode already had enormous influence in the 13th century. Their partisanship with John of Avesnes, Count of Holland was not without importance, but it increased when the dispute between the Hoeks and the Cods broke out in 1350. Th ...

Landdrost
{{Use dmy dates, date=December 2020 ''Landdrost'' was the title of various officials with local jurisdiction in the Netherlands and a number of former territories in the Dutch Empire. The term is a Dutch compound, with ''land'' meaning "region" and ''drost'', from Middle Dutch ''drossāte (droes-state, bloke-castle, state-holder)'' which originally referred to a lord’s chief retainer (who later became the medieval seneschal or steward), equivalent to: * an English reeve or steward; * a Low German ''Drost(e)'' of Northern Germany (cognate with German ''Truchsess''); or * German ''Meier'' (from Latin '' majordomus''). Feudal era Originally, a drost in the Low Countries – where various titles were in use for similar offices – was essentially a steward or seneschal under the local lord, exercising various functions depending on the endlessly varied local customary law, e.g. tax collection, policing, prosecution, and carrying out sentences.

Count Of Holland
The counts of Holland ruled over the County of Holland in the Low Countries between the 10th and the 16th century. House of Holland The first count of Holland, Dirk I, was the son or foster-son of Gerolf, Count in Frisia (Dijkstra suggests that Dirk may have been the son of a sister of Gerolf and that his own father died while he was still an infant). He received land around Egmond from Charles the Fat at a place called Bladella (modern day Bladel near Eindhoven, The Netherlands) in 922. This is seen as the beginning of the county of Holland. However, until about 1100, the usual names for the county were West-Friesland, Frisia or Kennemerland; in spite of this the counts from Dirk I onwards are traditionally named ''of Holland''. Note that the chronology of the first few counts is uncertain. The existence of a count between Dirk I and Dirk II was only recently suggested, since it is thought that the references to counts named Dirk between 896 and 988 refer to three, not two, ...

William I Of Holland
William I (c. 1167 – 4 February 1222) was count of Holland from 1203 to 1222. He was the younger son of Floris III and Ada of Huntingdon. Early life William was born in The Hague, but raised in Scotland. He participated in the Third Crusade under Emperor Frederick I alongside his father, Floris, and his uncle Otto of Bentheim. He started a revolt against his brother, Dirk VII and became count in Friesland after a reconciliation. Friesland was considered a part of Holland by the counts of Holland.

William was supported by the duke of Brabant and by the majority of the Hollanders. Countship Emperor Otto IV acknowledged him as count of Holland in 1203 because he was a supporter of the Welfs ...

Blason Thierry De Brederode (selon Gelre)
Blason is a form of poetry. The term originally comes from the heraldic term "blazon" in French heraldry, which means either the codified description of a coat of arms or the coat of arms itself. The Dutch term is Blazoen, and in either Dutch or French, the term is often used to refer to the coat of arms of a chamber of rhetoric. History The term forms the root of the modern words "emblazon", which means to celebrate or adorn with heraldic markings, and "blazoner", one who emblazons. The terms "blason", "blasonner", "blasonneur" were used in 16th-century French literature by poets who, following Clément Marot in 1536, practised a genre of poems that praised a woman by singling out different parts of her body and finding appropriate metaphors to compare them with. It is still being used with that meaning in literature and especially in poetry. One famous example of such a celebratory poem, ironically rejecting each proposed stock metaphor, is William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130: : ...

William I Van Brederode
Willem van Brederode (1226/30 in Santpoort – 3 June 1285 in Velsen) was Lord of Van Brederode, Brederode. Life He was the son of Dirk I van Brederode and Alvaradis van Heusden. William was only recognised as lord of Brederode in 1244, partially because he was a minor before that. Van Brederode accompanied William II, Count of Holland in his campaign against rebels above the Rhine in the Ruhr in 1248/49, and again in a campaign against the Friesland, West Frisians in 1256. He was knighted in 1255, and appointed bailiff of Kennemerland in 1269. On 25 June 1282 he was awarded the rights to Goudriaan, Hardinxveld, Papendrecht, Peursum and Slingeland. William died in 1285 and was buried in the Brederode-chapel of the Engelmundus-church in Velsen. Family and Children In 1254 William married Hildegonde van Voorne, and they had six children: *Dirk II van Brederode, 1256–1318, William's successor *Alverade van Brederode, 1258 – after 1323 *Rikairde van Brederode, ca. 1263 – afte ...

Johannes A Leydis
Johannes a Leydis or Jan Gerbrandszoon van Leiden was a Dutch chronicler from the 15th century. A Leydis died in 1504. Life Not much is known with certainty about Johannes a Leydis' life. In all likelihood he came from a family of poorters (a special type of citizenship) from Leiden. He entered the carmelite monastery in Haarlem before 1455. In 1476 he was named prior of the monastery, but in 1479 we find him as prior of the monastery at Woudsend in Friesland. It seems that, during the struggles between the Vetkopers and Schieringers, discipline had become lax in the monastery. A Leydis attempted to reform the monastery, but apparently encountered so much resistance to his reforms that he was forced to leave in 1480. From sources we know that A Leydis was back in the monastery in Haarlem in 1495, filling the function of subprior. A Leydis died in 1504 in Haarlem. During the Hook and Cod wars, A Leydis supported the Hook faction. His sympathies lay in particular with the family va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
