    [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."

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    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}
