Dirk IV

Count of Holland
Years: 1030 - 1049

Dirk IV (ca.

1020/1030 – 13 January 1049) is Count of Holland from 1039 to 1049 (which is called Frisia at this time).

Dirk's date of birth is unknown but it was probably ca.

1030 or shortly before, he was described as "adolescent" at the time of his death.

His base of operations is the stronghold his father built at Vlaardingen.

Contemporary chroniclers refer to him (in Latin) as "Theodericus de Phlardirtinga" (Vlaardingen) and as margrave thereof.

The exact extent of his domain is not known, but at one time or another it stretches north to at least Rijnsburg and east to roughly Aalburg.
