- [dunbar_tree.FTW]
Dirk I is son or grandson of Haghen, Count of Aquitaine (uncle of Charles
the Bald of France and son of Walter, Count of Teisterbant). Encyclopaedia
Britannica (1956; 11:668) states that the county was founded by "Rorik, of
Norman origin, ...in 862. His successor Gerulf, to whom the German king
Arnulf in 889 granted some possessions and rights in the region between the
Rhine and Swithardeshaga..., may be considered the first count of Holland,
notwithstanding the doubt that may be felt about his being the father of
Dirk I, whom tradition long held to be the first count."
