Research Notes Snippet from Wikipedia Count Gerolf Frisia received as reward for his role in expelling the Normans of the East Frankish king Arnulf van Karinthië on August 4 889 some goods in Teisterbant in full ownership . It involved a number of farms and houses, among other Tiel, Aalburg and Asch. Gerolf had two sons, Waldger and Dirk . Dirk the progenitor of the counts of Holland, was 898-928 Waldger was listed as Earl of Teisterbant. [2] He was succeeded by his son Radboud, possibly called "Poppo". History - The Teisterbant name probably comes from the Gaelic and means approximately "rightward" (compare infest the Latin dexter, that "right" means). It would be the counterpart of Swifterbant , 'leftward'. It was already a well-known area in 8th century. [1] From 843 ( Treaty of Verdun ) to the death of Lothair II in 869 heard Teisterbant under the kingdom Lorraine . Then came Teisterbant 870 ( Treaty of Meerssen ) to Lothario's uncle Lodewijk de Duitser and became part of East Francia . [1] Snippet from Wikipedia Doubts about the founding of the House of Holland Only since the late nineteenth century is Gerolf regarded as the founder of the House of Holland. This is based on a poem composed around 1120. It locates the tombs where members of the house were interred. The poem begins with: "The first Dirk, brother of Waldger was a glorious man ..." In another work Waldger is named: "Waldgarius Freso, Gerulfi filius", which translates as: "Waldger the Frisian, son of Gerolf". However, it appears unusual that, following the death of Gerolf, the eldest son Waldger received Teisterbant, while the younger brother Dirk inherited the comital title, although the title wasn't necessarily inheritable, but often rather by appointment. Also surprising is that Waldger's eldest son was named Radboud and a possible second son (or other relation) of his was named Hatto. It was customary in those days, that the eldest son received the name of his father's father. It is therefore thought that Gerolf was not the father but the foster-father of Waldger and Dirk. Filius in this case meaning foster-son. The most likely candidate for the biological father of Dirk and Waldger is Radboud, prince of the Frisians. [2]
