Notities over DIETRICH VI HOLLAND

Dirk VI of Holland (c. 1114 - 5 August 1157), also known as Dietrich in German, Thierry in French, and Theodoric in English, was Count of Holland between 1121 and 1157, at first, during his minority, under the regency of his mother Petronilla. He was the son of Count Floris II. After his death he was succeeded by his eldest son Floris III. He married Sofie of Salm, Countess of Rheineck and Bentheim. She was heiress of Bentheim, which she ruled together with her husband and which was inherited by the couple's second son Otto after his parents' death.

When his father died in 1122, Dirk was only 7 years old and his mother, Petronilla, governed the county as regent. In 1123 she supported the uprising of her half-brother, Lothair of Süpplingenburg, Duke of Saxony against Emperor Henry V. After Lothair had been elected king of Germany himself in 1125 he returned Leiden and Rijnland to Holland, which had both been awarded to the Bishop of Utrecht in 1064 (Later on during Dirk's reign the wooden fortifications at Leiden would be replaced by a stone castle). Because Petronilla saw little ability or ambition in Dirk as he grew up, she stalled letting go of the regency when he reached adulthood (fifteen years old), until her favourite son Floris could attempt to take over the county.

Count Dirk VI married Sophie of Salm, Countess of Bentheim some time before 1137. She was a daughter of Otto of Salm, Count of Rheineck and Bentheim, son of Hermann of Salm, King of Germany. Dirk and Sophie had (at least) nine children:

Dirk, known as Pilgrim (Peregrinus), born 1138/1139 - died 1151.
Floris, born ca. 1140 - died 1 August 1190 at Antioch (succeeded his father as Floris III, Count of Holland, in 1157).
Otto, born 1140/1145 - died 1208 or after (inherited his mother's county and became Count of Bentheim).
Baldwin, born ca. 1149 - died 30 April 1196 (firstly, Provost at St Maria in Utrecht; secondly, Bishop of Utrecht from 1178 until his death).
Dirk, born ca. 1152 - died 28 August 1197 in Pavia (also became Bishop of Utrecht, in 1197, but died the same year).
Sophie (in 1186 she became abbess of Rijnsburg Abbey, established by her grandmother).
Hedwig, died 28 August 1167 (a nun at Rijnsburg).
Gertrud (died in infancy).
Petronilla.

Also, it was alleged that Count Dirk had fathered an illegitimate son, whose name was Robert.
