<p><strong>Dirk V</strong> (1054 - <a title="17 juli" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_juli">17 juli</a> <a title="1091" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/1091">1091</a>) was graaf van Holland, zoon van <a title="Floris I van Holland" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floris_I_van_Holland">Floris I</a> en <a title="Geertruida van Saksen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geertruida_van_Saksen">Geertruida van Saksen</a>.</p> <p>Floris sneuvelde in 1061 oorlog met de bisschop van <a title="Sticht Utrecht" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticht_Utrecht">Utrecht</a>. Dirk was toen minderjarig en zijn moeder trad op als regentes. Bisschop <a title="Willem van Gelre (bisschop)" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_van_Gelre_%28bisschop%29">Willem I</a> van Utrecht maakte van deze situatie gebruik om het <a title="Rijnland (gouw)" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijnland_%28gouw%29">Rijnland</a> en het <a title="Kennemerland" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennemerland">Kennemerland</a> te annexeren. Deze annexatie werd formeel bevestigd door keizerin <a title="Agnes van Poitou (1024-1077)" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_van_Poitou_%281024-1077%29">Agnes van Poitou (1024-1077)</a>, de regentes van Duitsland. Van Dirks graafschap bleven alleen de meest noordelijke en zuidelijke gebieden over. Zijn moeder besefte dat Dirk een sterke bondgenoot nodig had en ze trouwde in 1063 met <a class="mw-redirect" title="Robrecht I van Vlaanderen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robrecht_I_van_Vlaanderen">Robrecht I van Vlaanderen</a>, de broer van de graaf <a title="Boudewijn VI van Vlaanderen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudewijn_VI_van_Vlaanderen">Boudewijn VI van Vlaanderen</a>. Die gaf zijn aanspraken in Vlaanderen op (ten gunste van zijn neef <a title="Arnulf III van Vlaanderen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnulf_III_van_Vlaanderen">Arnulf III van Vlaanderen</a>) en wijdde zich aan zijn Friese belangen. Daaraan ontleent hij in Vlaanderen zijn bijnaam "de Fries". Dirk ontving Vlaanderen ten oosten van de <a title="Schelde (rivier)" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schelde_%28rivier%29">Schelde</a> en de eilanden ten westen van de Schelde (o.a. <a title="Walcheren" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcheren">Walcheren</a>), als <a title="Apanage" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apanage">apanage</a>.</p> <p>Robrecht en Boudewijn wisten het Rijnland en Kennemerland weer terug te veroveren maar de keizer gaf hertog <a title="Godfried III van Lotharingen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfried_III_van_Lotharingen">Godfried III van Lotharingen</a> van <a title="Neder-Lotharingen" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neder-Lotharingen">Neder-Lotharingen</a> opdracht om de bisschop te verdedigen. Godfried werd op 26 februari 1076 vermoord in Delft of Vlaardingen, volgens de overlevering werd hij toen hij zijn behoefte deed, van onderen dodelijk verwond. Toen bisschop Willem een paar maanden later ook overleed, verzamelde Dirk een Vlaams leger en probeerde opnieuw zijn graafschap te heroveren. De nieuwe bisschop <a title="Koenraad van Zwaben (bisschop)" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenraad_van_Zwaben_%28bisschop%29">Koenraad</a> verschanste zich in het kasteel van IJsselmonde. De <a title="Slag bij IJsselmonde" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag_bij_IJsselmonde">gevechten</a> werden beslist doordat Dirk het kasteel kon veroveren: Koenraad sloot vrede en gaf daarbij het Rijnland en Kennemerland terug aan Dirk.</p> <p>Dirk koos in de <a title="Investituurstrijd" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investituurstrijd">investituurstrijd</a> de kant van de paus en hij werd begraven in de <a class="mw-redirect" title="Abdij van Egmond" href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdij_van_Egmond">abdij van Egmond</a>.</p> <p>Dirk is vermoedelijk getrouwd met Othelhildis van Saksen (ca. 1065 - 18 november 1120) maar hier kan ook sprake zijn van een verwarring met zijn grootvader. Dirk kreeg twee kinderen:</p> <p><ul>

<p>Dirk V (1052 – June 17, 1091), was Count of Holland (which was called Frisia at that time) from 1061 to 1091.</p><p>Dirk V succeeded Floris I, under the guardianship of his mother, Gertrude of Saxony. William I, Bishop of Utrecht, took advantage of the young ruler, occupying territory that he had claimed in Holland. William's claim was confirmed by two charters of the emperor Henry IV. (April 30, 1064 and May 2, 1064). Dirk only retained possession of lands west of the Vlie and around the mouths of the Rhine.</p><p>Gertrude and her son withdrew to the islands of Frisia (Zeeland), leaving William to occupy the disputed lands. In 1063 Gertrude married Robert of Flanders (Robert the Frisian), the second son of Baldwin V of Flanders. Robert gave Dirk the Imperial Flanders as an appanage - including the islands of Frisia west of the Frisian Scheldt. Baldwin then became his stepson's guardian, gaining control of the islands east of the Scheldt. Baldwin managed to conquer Kennemerland (north of North Holland), but held it only briefly.</p><p>Robert therefore, in both his own right and that of Dirk, was now the ruler of all Frisia. The death of his brother Baldwin VI in 1070 led to civil war in Flanders. The claim of Robert to the guardianship of his nephew Arnulf III was disputed by Richilde, Countess of Mons and Hainaut, the widow of Baldwin VI. The issue was decided by Robert's victory at Cassel (February 1071), where Arnulf was killed and Richilda taken prisoner.</p><p>The war in Holland and Frisia became part of a large conflict from 1075 onwards. The pope had excommunicated the emperor. The bishop of Utrecht supported the emperor, while the count of Holland supported Pope Gregory VII and anti-king Rudolphe.</p><p>While Robert was thus engaged in Flanders, an effort was made to recover the County of Holland and other lands now held by William of Utrecht. The people rose in revolt, but were brought back under Episcopal rule by an army under the command of Godfrey IV (the Hunchback), duke of Lower Lorraine, by order of the emperor (Henry IV). In 1076, at the request of William, Duke Godfrey visited his domains in the Frisian borderland. At Delft, the duke was murdered by revolutionaries (February 26, 1076). William of Utrecht died on April 17, 1076.</p><p>Dirk V, now managing his own estate, was quick to take advantage of this favorable juncture. With the help of Robert (his stepfather) he raised an army and besieged Conrad of Utrecht, the successor of William, in the castle of Ysselmonde, taking him prisoner. The bishop purchased his liberty by surrendering all claim to the disputed lands.</p><p>Dirk V was succeeded by Floris II upon his death in 1091.</p><p>--------------------</p><p>Dirk V (1052 – June 17, 1091), was Count of Holland (which was called Frisia at that time) from 1061 to 1091.</p><p>Dirk V succeeded Floris I, under the guardianship of his mother, Gertrude of Saxony.
