[1] Dirk II or Diederik, (old spelling in charters and rijmkronieken-chronicles is Dirc or Dideric) II (born abt. 932 –died Egmond, 6 May 988) was a Fries count (Friese graaf -comes Fresonum), from the 10th century who between 965 and 988 conducted the actual regime over the county of West Frisia, which covered the entire coastal area between the Oosterschelde and het Vlie and consisted of the 'gouwen' (shires): Masaland, Kinhem and Texla. The formal loan was with the Utrechtse bishop. In the passed it was assumed Dirk II was the son of Dirk I. Nowadays it's assumed he was a son of a son of Dirk I, (so his grandson) who is also adressed as Dirk I bis, and Gerberga (Geva) van Hamaland. [2] In 938 young Dirk II was engaged to Hildegard van Vlaanderen, daughter of count (graaf) Arnulf I van Vlaanderen and Aleidis van Vermandois. They married in 950 [2], and are mentioned in Rijmkronieken van Holland: Dese Diederic goet ende waert Hadde een wijf, hiet Hildegaert, 600 Hovesch van seden ende van leven Ende vol doghentachticheden... [3]From this marriage at least three children were born:[2] Aarnout (Gent 951-993), ook wel Arnulf Gandensis genoemd, die zijn opvolger werd [2] Egbert van Trier (952-994), aartsbisschop van Trier [2] Erlindis (953-1012) [2] possibly an Unknown daughter who married graaf Everhard van Doornik.[2] Diederik II died in 988. He was buried in the new abbey church of Egmond, in the grave in which Hildegard was buried eight years earlier. Their gospel book remained in the abbey for six centuries, then swirled around, and resurrected in Utrecht in 1805.
