  • Evangeliarium van Egmond The Evangelium of Egmond is a parchment handwriting that has become famous because Count Dirk and Countess Hildegard of 'Holland' had their image added to it in 975. More than a thousand years later, Dirk and Hildegard are the oldest Dutch of whom an image exists.

Hildegaert Flandre was 12 when she was married? Is this possible?
posted by Keith Palazzo
In that time period, marriage at 12 for a female was entirely possible. However dates look to be estimates and they could be out by a year or two.

I think I was more concerned about the point that Adelaide was probably not her mother. That if Hildegard is a daughter of Arnulf, then it is more likely she is the with an unnamed earlier wife.
posted by John Atkinson
I assume you mean this ? No direct evidence is known for the suggestion that Dirk's wife Hildegarde was Arnulf's daughter.

I think it's because Arnulf is mentioned as the father in law of Dirk, will check the Rijmkroniek again, I read something there about it ..

No idea where the date of death comes from ..

There is a discussion of Hildegard and her parents by Stewart Baldwin on this page (scroll down to the commentary section) http://home.earthlink.net/~henryproject/hproject/prov/arnul000.htm Based on that I would also query the source for the 10 Apr 990 death date that is currently on this profile.
