#Histoire#Normal;Count Floris I, who succeeded Dirk IV in 1049, continued Holland's expansion southwards. In 1061 he was victorious in a battle against Ecbert I of Friesland near Nederhemert, but afterwards Count Floris was killed there while resting under a tree, probably on orders from Emperor Heinrich IV of Germany. (According to one of my sources, Floris' physical remains show that he was a giant of over 2 meters tall.) After this murder, West-Vlieland and Rijnland were taken back again by Willem, the Bishop of Utrecht, Holland's eastern neighbour and a supporter of the German Empire. To combine forces against the Emperor, Floris' widow Gertrud married the powerful Robrecht "De Fries" of Flanders, Holland's south-western neighbour, who had become Count by
defeating and killing his young nephew Arnulf III "The Unfortunate" at the battle of Kassel in 1071.
