Notes - Hildegarde of Flanders (935-980)
Hildegarde was the daughter of Count Arnulf (The Great) of Flanders and Aleidis of Vermandois
When Hildegard was some 3 years old she was already engaged to Dirk II and then was married to him when she was 12. Her father Arnulf arranged this, so he could expand his territory and improve his influence in the region, which is now called Holland.
Hildegarde made very generous donations to abbeys and churches in Egmond, Trier and Ghent. The Evangelarium gift to the Egmond abbey -where she was buried- is the most important one.
