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."

Arnulf was preoccupied with fighting off the Northmen. "In his old age he
placed the government in the hands of Baldwin, his son by Adela, daughter
of the count of Vermandois, and the young man in a short reign did much for
the commercial and industrial progress of the country, setting up the first
weavers and fullers at Ghent, and instituting yearly fairs at Ypres, Bruges
and other places. On Baldwin III's death in 961 the old count resumed
control and spent the few remaining years of his life in securing the
succession of his grandson Arnulf II...." {Encycl.Brit., 1956, 9:356}

Baldwin II, "from his stronghold at Bruges, maintained, like his father, a
vigorous defence of his lands against the incursions of the Northmen. On
his mother's side a descendant of Charlemagne, he strengthened the dynastic
importance of his family by marrying Aelfthryth, daughter of Alfred the
Great. On his death in 918 [sic] his possessions were divided between his
two sons Arnulf the Elder and Adalulf, but the latter survived only a short
time and Arnulf succeeded to the whole inheritance." {-Encyclopaedia
Britannica, 1956 Edition, 9:356}
