Regino names "Gerolfum et Gardolfum comites Fresorum", sent by "Godefridem" as legates to the emperor after Hugo, son of King Lothar, rebelled in 885[188]. The Annales Vedastini record that "Godefridus Danus" was killed in the city of "Gerulfi sui fidelis" by "Heinrico duce" in 885[189]. "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "inter Renum et Suithardeshaghe in comitatu ipsius in locis Northa et Osprehtashem" to "comes noster…Gerolfus" by charter dated [4 Aug] 889[190]. This is the area around the town of Tiel in Teisterband and the coastal area around Leiden at the mouth of the river Rhine[191]. m ---. The name of Gerolf's wife is not known. Gerolf & his wife had two children: a) WALTGER (-after 928). Regino names "Ramnulfum et fratrem eius Gozbertum et Ebulonem abbatum de sancto Dionysio" when recording their battle against "Waltgerius comes" in Jul 892[192]. Graaf van Lek en Ijssel: Otto I King of Germany donated property "in pago Lake et Isla quod Waltgerus et postea filius eius Ratbotus" held to the church of Utrecht by charter dated 17 Jul 944[193]. Regino records that "Eworhardus dux, filius Meginhardi" was hunted out and killed in 898 "a Waltgario Fresone, filio Gerulfi" and that the emperor granted "ducatus" to "Meginhardo fratri"[194]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed property to the bishopric of Utrecht at the request of "Udonem consanguineum nostrum Vualdgerumque comitum" by charter dated 9 Jul 914[195]. Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks restored Kloster Susteren to the abbey of Prüm by charter dated 19 Jan 916 which names "fidelium nostrorum…Theodericus comes…Uualcherus comes"[196]. "Gysalbertus dux rectorque S. Traiectenses ecclesie" donated property "Gulisam…in pago [Ardunensi] in comitatu Everhardi" to Trier by charter dated 928, subscribed by "Walgeri comitis, Thiedrici comitis, Cristiani comitis, Folcoldi comitis"[197]. "Otto…rex" granted property "monasterium in loco Tiela" including rights previously conceded by "Waldgero et a filio eius Radbodone nec non et Hattone" by charter dated 20 Apr 950[198], Tiel being located in the county of Teisterband. "Otto…rex" granted property "villa Amuda quod Waldgero iam olim" held and "terram quam Hatto in loco Eki" to the church of Utrecht by charter dated 21 Apr 953[199]. m ALBERADA, daughter of ---. Alpertus names "quodam comite Waltgero" as founder of "monasterium quoque sanctæ Walburgæ" and "suo coniuge…Alberada"[200]. Waltger & his wife had one child: i) RATBOD (-[before 17 Jul 944]). Graaf van Lek en Ijssel: ii) [--- . m HATTO, son of --- (-before 20 Apr 950). b) DIRK [Theoderic] (-6 Oct, 928 or after, maybe after 8 Jul 949, bur Egmond). His parentage is deduced from the Chronologia Johannes de Beke which records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks granted "ecclesia Egmondensem et Kinhem a Zuitgerdes-Haga" to "Theodrico fratri Walgeri principis" in 863 at the request of "comitis Haganonis"[206], although as explained in the Introduction there are considerable chronological difficulties with this text. The same grant of land is also referred to in a later charter[207], as shown in detail below, but unfortunately the document does not refer to Dirk's family relationship with Waltger. He is known to history as DIRK I Count of Holland, although it is unlikely that he used this territorial epithet at the time. - see Chapter 2. COUNTS of HOLLAND.
