Gertrude of Saxony (c. 1030 – August 4, 1113), also known as Gertrude Billung, was a countess of Holland by marriage to Floris I, Count of Holland , and countess of Flanders by marriage to Robert I, Count of Flanders . She was regent of Holland in 1061-1067 during the minority of her son Dirk V , and regent of Flanders during the absence of her spouse in 1086–1093.
Biography [ edit ]
She was the daughter of Bernard II, Duke of Saxony and Eilika of Schweinfurt .
Countess of Holland [ edit ]
In c. 1050, she married Floris I, Count of Holland (c. 1017 – June 28, 1061). Upon the death of her spouse in 1061, her son Dirk V became Count of Holland . Since he was a minor, she became regent.
When Dirk V came into power, William I, Bishop of Utrecht , took advantage of the situation, occupying territory that he had claimed in Holland . Gertrude and her son withdrew to the islands of Frisia (Zeeland), leaving William to occupy the disputed lands.
Countess of Flanders [ edit ]
In 1063 Gertrude married Robert of Flanders (Robert the Frisian), the second son of Baldwin V of Flanders . This act gave Dirk the Imperial Flanders as an appanage – including the islands of Frisia west of the Frisian Scheldt .
She and her husband then acted as co-regents of Holland for her son during his minority.
When her spouse left for a journey to Jerusalem in 1086–1093, Gertrude served as regent of Flanders during his absence.
