Dirk or Deitrich II, Count of Frisia and Holland
Dirk was the son of Count Dirk I and his wife, Gerberge, and the husband of Hildegarde, the daughter of Arnulf, the Count of Flanders. They had three children:
* Arnulf, Count of Frisia
* Egbert, Archbishop of Tiers
* Erlinde, Abbess of Egmond Abbey
Other sources list another daughter, Hildegarde, who married Theodoric, the Count of Gand.
Dirk's properties were confirmed in 983 by the Emperor Otto III, which included the counties of Maasland, Kinhem and Texla, as well as the entire coast line of the current day Holland. Dirk built a fortress near Vlaardingen, and rebuilt the abbey at Egmond in stone to shelter the relics of Saint Adalbert. His daughter would become Abbess there before she moved to Bennebroek Abbey.
Dirk's son, Arnulf, succeeded him, his grandson Dirk III would battle Godfrey II, Duke of Lower Lorraine at the site of the fortress at Vlaardingen.
