De heren van Rijswijk

While researching De heren van Teijlingen I stumbled upon John Ooms (JO) stating he had, besides Willem and Dirk who are found in several Oorkonden, and NL26 and in BI as well, more children:

sons Gerrit, Hugo and Arend, as well as a daughter Machteld. Did he? And what did John base that statement on?

  • Gerrit is likely the Gerardus de Theilingen attested in 1283 in #283, see Oorkonden above. He was supposedly lord of Heemskerk and married to a daughter of Arnoud van Heusden, according to JO (2b).
  • Hugo, supposedly Gerrit's younger brother by 29 years, was also lord of Heemskerk. He would have likely taken over after Gerrit's death in 1225 then. His wife is not known, his daughter Aleid married Willem III van Strijen according to JO (2c).
  • Arend, lord of Rijswijk, married to Halewijne van Egmont, daughter of Wouter I, aka "Kwade Wouter", according to JO (2d).
  • Machteld married Herbaren van der Woert and was mother of Jan Florisz, which is weird if his father was Herbaren, according to JO (2e). JO refers to Dietz on GO for that, who has a son Floris III for them, who married Hadewich/Hazeke van Teylingen (I did see her as a supposed person based on naming in the elaborate piece by Henri Jean Joseph Vermeulen), daughter of W#202 and Agnes van Lynden, and has Jan Florens as grandchild.

Arend is not to be confused with Gerrit's son, Arnoud, born 1235, 10 years after his father's death (2). Something does not add up here. The Gerritsz was married to Margaretha van Voorne, daughter of Dirk II x Alveradis van Cuijk, according to JO (2d).

Arend son of 'our' W#202 had children Dirk, Florentia, Bertha and Lubbert according to JO. Bertha married Dirk I van Wassenaar (3), son of Philips I, who was a general who fought together with W#149, father of W#202 and supposed grandfather of Arend, during the Loon War.

Sources

JO seems to make several mistakes here, or at least a different view than his sources, but let's see if we can find (better) sources for his claims.

The earliest Van Rijswijk I have found on Wikipedia is Jan and Arnoud van Rijswijk: Jan van Rijswijk koos daarin voor de zijde van Willem van Friesland, Arnoud van Rijswijk schaarde zich achter: Jan sided with Willem during the Loon War, Arnoud with Ada. Unclear what their relation is, brothers, father/son, ... They must have been born before 1180 to be old enough to have participated in that war. Jan is not to be confused with Jan Heymansz van Rijswijck, who was born ca 1270, and related to the Van Arkel family, and belonged to a different Rijswijk in North-Brabant.

It is clear by the (notes) that Groesbeek suspected Van Rijswijk to be related to Van Voorhout, less clear that it was also related, or confused with Van Rietveld, and it seems Dodo van Rijswijk was either (suspected to be) related to Van Egmond, or confused with Dodo vE.

Dodo van Egmont, zoon van Beerwout II was oud genoeg om advocatus te zijn. Dat hij een broer Beerhout had zou kunnen. Een broer Dodo van Beerwout II is onwaarschijnlijk, daar die laatste 1158 overleden was. De bron van JO noemt op p242 een broer Werenbout van Barwout II, maar die zou 1114 gesneuveld zijn? Op p246 wordt echter 1168 genoemd. Echter geen broers Dirk en Barwout III. De voetnoot heeft het over verwarring met Barwout Dodensoen, advocatus sinds 1155... Op p248 treffen we Berwoud Dodensz, advocatus +1155, zoons Dodo, Allert, Dirck, Berwoud, Werembout. Bingo! Op p264 de Dodo zelf (geen kinderen).

That was likely the Dodo II, father of Kerstant (Cristantio in #8, #13, #14, #16 above), and Van Haarlem.

Serendipity: p273 has, according to a MS18307 from Brussels, a WvT (+1244) x Hedwig, daughter of Wouter van Egmond x Clementia van Gelre p281 quotes: "3. Hetwige Egmond, espousa Guillaume de Teylingen, chevalier (fils de Hugue Teylingen et de la fille de Daniel Meerwede). Il mourut l’an 1244. *4"

[abt Wouter] in #8 above, bought a lot more in that charter: "Abbas Walterus emit a Wilhelmo, filio Hugonis et Hathewe, dimidiam fiertellam, jacentem in Velsen in loco, qui dicitur Smalegheest, persolventem viginti octo denarios. Abbas Walterus emit ab Hathewa, matre Wilhelmi, uxore Hugonis, pascuam duarum vaccarum, que jacet juxta pascuam, quam emerat ab Everwacchoro, filio Galonis (2)."

Everwach was granchild of Allard, abt.

No Jan. Arnoud, from the Loon War, must have been the dapifer, who would likely side with Ada, the oppointed heir. That is almost the same list as [#Sources Verkerk] finds.

Trying to tie them together if found some suggestions: Franco zoon van Godelt x Ymma, en Godelt zoon van Deddo 1206-1217 Ogier van Voorschoten

Names by estimated generation

If we'd put them all in arbitrary 30 year generations...:

Removed latin suffixes and delatinized. Assuming, to be attested one needs to be 30+ (succeeded father) and 60- (succeeded by son). Attempting to fit people in fixed generations, but not all attestations are dated exactly, forcefully making it fit.

  • 1050 Hamulger, Godelt, ? x Ymma
  • 1080 Frank, Alnoth, Willem
  • 1110 Odger, Wiger
  • 1140 Frank
  • 1170 (Arnold, Henrik), Jacob, (Lubbert, Dirk), Ogier vV, (Gelekyn, Simon), Willem, Reiner

Arnoud and Lubbert

As we he have seen with Jan, there was more than 1 Rijswijk at then time, one in North-Brabant, one in Gelderland, but we are talking about the one in South-Holland. And there could have been more then one lord of v Rijswijk (source?). GB, and other sources, seems to think they are related to Voorhoud and maybe Van Egmond and Van Haarlem too. They likely all were, all lords were in one way or another.

So there could be more than one Arnoud van Rijswijk, one the son of W#202 and ANOTHER the son of ... Dodo, Willem? Wikipedia speaks of a Jan who sided with WvH, just as W#149 did. Wouldn't his sons have too? The Arnoud on Wikipedia sided with Ada. Was he a son of #W202? In Oorkonden we find Arnold van Rijswijk, brother of Henricus. W#202 does not have a son Henricus, so it has to be another one. There is also a Arnold dapifer, Dirk Drossaard, brother of W#202, was also dapifer, the one called vR is never called dapifer and vice versa, but either could have been distinctive enough. Arnoud is also mentioned together with Jacob, Willem and Dirk (if Rietveld = Rijswijk). Dirk is brother of Lubbert, Lubbert is abt, and according to JO Lubbert was son of the Arnoud that was a son of W#202. Could all Arnouds be one and the same? Both dapifer and Van Rijswijk? Brother of Henricus, father of the abt Lubbert and of Dirk, and somehow related to Jacob, Willem and even Jan? So far no reason why not. But if that Arnoud was a son of W#202, than H would be too. Was he a half-brother, or a brother-in-law?

Chronoly

W#202 died in 1244 in my book, and was born around 1175. That would mean his children would have been born around 1200. No way his son Arnoud would be dapifer by 1203. Arnoud must have been born before 1180 and can't be a son of W#202 if his DoB stands. If Lubbert is son of Arnold (only by JO so far)... Lubbert is abt in 1216, unlikely he was younger than 26, so born before 1190, and he died 1226, if only 50yo then, he would have been born 1176. So the father of Lubbert was likely born around 1150, a generation earlier than W202 in my book.
