A Younger Son of the Count of Holland
Later generations of house Van Teijlingen carried heraldry (used seals with Coat of Arms, or crest) that was derived of that of the Counts of Holland, but with the addition of a barensteel. That barensteel indicated they were a branch by 'a younger son'. But which one? How did they descent of Van Holland. [1]

Heraldry
Floris III married Ada of Scotland in 1162. Her brother, king William the Lion of Scotland, carried the Rampant Lion (Lyon rampant, Klimmende leeuw), red on yellow. [2] [3] Floris must have adopted his wife's CoA, or maybe his son did. It does seem that the other noble houses followed suit, partly to show they were vasals of Van Holland, and they adopted it to represent their lineage to the other houses.
Other houses
Van Teijlingen
Same as Van Holland, but with a barensteel, indicating descend of a younger branch (not carrying the title). Hij zou afstammen van de graven van Holland. Gezien het Hollandse wapen met de barensteel is dat zeker aannemelijk. Op een gouden achtergrond staat een rode leeuw (gelijk aan het schild van de graven van Holland) met daarop een barensteel. Dit laatste betekent een jongere tak; bij bastaardij staat er namelijk een schuine balk op.
Van Brederode
Same as Van Teijlingen, stamvader Dirk was (younger? bastard?) brother of Willem II.
Van Heemskerk
Same as Van Holland, but silver (sabel) on blue (azuur).
Van Adrichem
Same as Van Teijlingen. (Bastaard) vermeld 1291 als broeder van Heer Dirc van Brederode (Hollandse Oorkonde nr 759) en vermeld (genoemd) in 1300 en 1305 als broeder en mombaer door Alverade van Brederode, ridder.
Van Doorthoge
Same as Van Teijlingen, Floris was a younger son of Dirk van Brederode.
Van der Duyn
Same as Van Teijlingen, Willem was a son of Jan van Doorthoge, descendant of Floris. See also de stamreeks on Ons Voorgeslacht.
Van Tol
Same as Van Teijlingen, but with added 9 blocks. Het riddermatige geslacht Van Tol, D. van Tol, De Nederlandsche Leeuw, 1992
Foyken
Same as Van Teijlingen, but with an added schuinstaak, indicating a bastard branch. Interessant is dat het zegel van Boudijn aan de akte bewaard is gebleven, en mee is gescand. Een vrij matige kwaliteit daardoor (en een onleesbaar randschrift), maar ik denk toch wel zeker een schuinstaak én een barensteel te herkennen, waarboven mogelijk een leeuwenkopje uitsteekt. Het wapen dat de afstammelingen van Foyken (van Teylingen) gebruikten dus. Foyken cum socijs, Hans Angevaare

Van Voorne
Same as Van Holland, but colours inversed, gold on red. Batavia Illustrata has the children of Dirk III Hierosolymita (Pelgrim) van Holland become Van Voorne, copying Gouthoeven.
Van Naaldwijk
Same as Van Holland, but red (scharlaken) on white.
Younger son of...
Sigfrid or Sicco
Johannes a Leydis (JaL) wrote the Sicconiden-legend, that Siefgried, the younger brother of Dirk III van Holland (thus explaining the CoA) sprote Van Brederode and Van Teijlingen, oldest son Dirk starting Van Bredereode, younger son Simon Van Teijlingen. About a century ago, it was concluded that Van Brederode wasn't recorded up until Dirk Drossaard, brother of Willem II van Teijlingen, so he must have been the first lord. JaL wrote his work likely trying to appease his master [whom? citation?]. The CoA would have descenden from Troy, and their descent would go al the way back to Adam and Eva. A genuine believe at the time (Generations of Noah).
... Bastard son
What was the story, and the source... Willem van Teijlingen was bastard son of vH?
... daughter the count
Was that about Dirk van Brederode, that he was born from a daughter of Willem I van Teijlingen who was impregnated, out of wedlock, by (a son of) the count vH?
... the count
That might be the same story as above.
... Floris de Zwarte
Very little is known about him. I speculated before, and more, based on the deductions of Ben de Keijzer in 'Stamreeks van der Duyn', p2-3. Based on the location of the land held by vT, and the period that the privileges to develop that land, would have been granted, and leading family first named, he would be the most likely, if not only, candidate for the split of vT from vH. He suggest that Willem I might not have been a son of his predecessor Hugo, but that he married de vT erfdochter, likely a sister of Hugo (1162), daughter of Gerard (1143).
I. Willem van Theylingen (Wilhelmus de Theyling), vermeld 1174, 1 wellicht een zoon van Floris de Zwarte, tr. N.N., (verm.) dr. van Gerard van Theylingen (Gherardus de Theyling), de laatste vermeld 1143. 2
So Floris de Zwarte, maybe a second son, maybe a first but bastard son, had a sister, maybe a bastard half sister, Hadewich/Hedwig. So much seems sure.
Hadewich Florisdr van Holland
When they were born, when they died, a lot less so. Maybe she became a nun (she was called a virgin in one document, and that could mean nun and then it should not be taken literally).
Maybe she did.
Maybe young, unmarried. Virgin. Maybe after she was impregnated by her (half) brother. Maybe only after she became a widow, and she withdrew in Rijnsburg (or what was it?).

Hazetiaan van Teijlingen.
Bouwsteen en Toetssteen, Henri Jean Joseph Vermeulen, 2020, p395-397 under II, Hazetiaan van Teijlingen x Floris II van de Woerd could/would have been the grandmother of Hazetiaan van de Woerd x Kerstand van Raaphorst. On p579/678 (pdf pages) she is presented as a daughter of Willem II van Teijlingen. A Hazetiaan van Raaphorst [?] was in turn named after her, and there was also a Hazetiaan in uten Broek [?].
Hugo and Hadewich
Bijdragen en Mededeelingen van het Historisch Genootschap, Deel 35 (1914), p32 De oudste goederenlijsten der Abdij van Egmond, Medegedeeld door Mr. S. Muller Fz. XI. (Aanwinsten der abdij onder abt Wouter. 1130-1161.)
Abbas Walterus emit a Wilhelmo filio Hugonis et Hathewe dimidiam fiertellam, iacentem in Velsen in loco qui dicitur Smalegheest, persolventem viginti octo denarios. Abbas Walterus emit ab Hathewa matre Wilhelmi uxore Hugonis pascuam duarum vaccarum, que iacet iuxta pascuam, quam emerat ab Everwacchoro filio Galonis.
That roughly translates
Abbot Walter bought from Willem, son of Hugo and Hathewe, half a viertel [quarter, of a plot of land producing a certain amount of harvest], lying in Velsen, in a place called Smalegheest, paying twenty-eight pence. Abbot Walter bought from Hathewe, mother of William, wife of Hugh, a pasture of [big enought to feed] two cows, which lies next to the pasture which he had bought from Everwachhor [Van Haarlem], son of Galon [Van Haarlem].
This Hugo and Hadewich could fit Hugo (III) van Voorne and Hadewich Florisdr van Holland. But it does not seem other have identified them as such, cause there is no mention of a son Willem.
The Van Voorne line isn't very clear. It seems a Hugo vV is attested 1108, and next a Floris in 1156 and 1175. Obreen wrote an article on Van Voorne in NL28. A young adult Hugo, say *1080, having a son say *1110 could explain those attestations, but it seems others put one of more Hugo's in between. Above mentions are not dated any more precise than 'when Walter was abbot'. By 1130 Hugo would have been 50yo in the above scenarion, and by 1161 81 yo. Very possible for him to be alive and have an adult son. So Willem could have been a brother of Floris then. But again, there isn't really any indication for Van Voorne.
If Hadewich was married off to Hugo van Voorne (the one most refer to as Hugo II), then likely not before that. Not sure what happened to the child then. The records clearly state Willem to be a son of Hugo. Doesn't really matter if Hugo only married the mother or fathered their son himself.
Then Willem 'grandson of Floris' van Voorne, when he came of age, got assigned Wijtvliet, it seems. Any he married the sister of another Hugo, van Teijlingen. Would both their fathers be named after the same grandfather?
What Hadewich?=
I was handed this on silver platter, thanks:
1. Hathewe wife of Hugo
Hathewe/a was a married woman during the time of abbot Walter (1130-1161) and Everwacchar (circa 1130) son of Galo de Hairlem (1105-1119). She is mentioned in:
Liber S. Adalberti, ed. Oppermann 1933, p. 87-88:
Abbas Walterus emit a Wilhelmo filio Hugonis et Hathewe dimidiam fiertellam iacentem etc. Abbas Walterus emit ab Hathewa matre Wilhelmi uxore Hugonis pascuam duarum vaccarum, etc.
2. Hadewigis daughter of Floris II
Hadewigis, daughter of count Floris II Crassus and countess Petronilla. They married 1108, and died 1121/1144. Hadewigis is mentioned in 3 sources:
Liber S. Adalberti, ed. Oppermann 1933, p. 72-73:
Florencius ... coniugem Petronillam ex qua genuit tres filios, Theodericum, Florencium, Simonem et unam filiam. Deus omnipotens conservet omnium eorum vitam.
Egmond Necrologium, ed. Oppermann 1933, p. 108:
Ex Florencio et Petronilla nati sunt: Theodericus, Florencius, Symon, Hadewigis.
Beke, Chronographia, ed. Bruch 1973, cap. 49a, p. 93:
Florencius duxit in uxorem Petronillam, ex qua genuit Theodricum, Florencium, Simonem ac Hadewigim (Hatewigim) virginem.
Many modern historians say that this Hadewigis died in 1132. This seems to be based on:
A.W.E. Dek, Genealogie der graven van Holland, Europese Bibliotheek, Zaltbommel, 1969.
p. 13: Hadewig, daughter of Floris II, was a nun in Rijnsburg, and was buried 1132 in Haarlem.
Source:
J.M. Sterck-Proot: Haarlem's oudste tijden, 1930, p. 34; J.M. Sterck-Proot: De historische schoonheid van Haarlem, 1942 (Heemschut serie 13), p. 20.
I could not find the former source on the Internet. The latter is on Google Books (fragments only).
p. 20:
Reeds in 1132 werd een gravendochter bijgezet in "der kercken van Haerlem". Already in 1132 a count’s daughter was entombed in the church of Haarlem.
Mrs. Sterck-Poot did not provide a source, but elsewhere she mentions the Description of Haarlem by Ludovico Guicciardini from 1612: p. 197: Beschryvinghe van Haerlem.
... Graef Floris de Vette met Petronella zijn huysvrouwe, die de Abdye tot Reynsburch stichte, binnen dese stadt zijn woonplaetse hielt, alwaer haer eenige dochter Hadewijck overleden is, de welcke begraven wert in Baeckenesser kerck, ghesticht ter eeren van onse Lieve Vrouwe, nae dat de inwoonders het Christelijcke gheloove aenghenomen hadden. De borghers deser stadt in't jaer 1132 grooten bystant deden aen Dirck den negenden Grave van Hollandt, teghen zynen broeder Heer Floris die Swarte. Hadewijck, the only daughter of Floris II Crassus and Petronilla, died in Haarlem and was buried there in the Bakenesser church. No year is given. The next sentence is about a military conflict in the year 1132. Sterck-Poot seems to have assumed, that this year also applied to Hadewijcks death. If the account is chronological, she must have died in or shortly before 1132.
The Dutch translation from 1612 differs quite a bit from the original in Italian, published in 1588:
Here, p. 259-260, the church of Haarlem is mentioned, but no Hadewigis. Apparently, the translators have added some local folklore.
3. Hadewigis, daughter of Dirk VI
Hadewigis, daughter of count Dirk VI and countess Sophie. They married 1135, and died 1157/1176. Hadewigis was a nun at Reinsburg and died 28 August 1167. She is mentioned in 2 sources:
Egmond Necrologium, ed. Oppermann 1933, p. 109:
Filii comitis Theoderici et Sophie: Florencius, Otto, Balduinus, Theodericus, Peregrinus, Sophia, Hadewigis sanctimonialis <in Reynsburch, obiit anno MCLXVII V kalendas Septembris; Gheertrudis>, Petronilla, Robertus [bastard].
Beke, Chronographia, ed. Bruch 1973, cap. 52, p. 101:
Theodricus Hollandie comes duxit in uxorem Sophiam de qua genuit Florencium, Ottonem, Balduinum, Theodricum, Peregrinum, Sophiam, Hadewigim sanctimonialem et Petronellam.
4. Hadewigis, daughter of Floris II or III?
Hadewigis, daughter of a count Floris. She died 13 January of an unknown year and was buried in Haarlem. Hadewigis is mentioned in:
Egmond Necrologium, ed. Oppermann 1933, p. 110:Hathewidis filia Florencii obiit ydibus Ianuarii, sepulta in Hairlem.
Historians disagree who her father was:
- Cordfunke 1987, p. 58: she was a daughter of count Floris II Crassus.
- Dek 1969, p. 14: Hedwig, daughter of count Floris III.
The entry in the Egmond Necrologium has no year, but it appears among other deaths in the years 1195-1205.
If Floris II was her father, and she died circa 1200, she must have reached an age of about 85 years. That is extreme, but not impossible. Or the entry is displaced, and she died much earlier. If Floris III was her father, she reached an age of about 40 years or less (F III married 1162, and died 1190).
I think father Floris II is the most plausible, because of the burial in Haarlem, and because count Floris III had many children, but a Hadewigis is never mentioned among them. So Hadewigis-4 = Hadewigis-2, and the entry in the Necrologium is displaced by about 70 years.
It is unlikely that Hadewigis-1 is the same person as Hadewigis-2, since the former was active after 1130, and the latter was already dead by that time. Furthermore, the records would have named her as ‘daughter of the count’ rather than ‘the wife of Hugo’. Furthermore, Hadewigis-2 was a virginem, not a married woman.
Hadewigis-3, finally, cannot be confused with the other two, because she lived a few decades later. She was named after her aunt (Hadewigis-2), who probably died a few years before Hadewigis-3 was born.
Van Teijlingen origins
Then HvT died, without a son. Then Gerrit, still alive?, got dispensation from the count (never found in writing), to pass vT on to his only remaining daughter. And so vT got Willem, who was know as vT since then, and mention first as such in #149. After he died, H might have become a nun in Rijnsburg.
Van Wijtvliet
They had a son Simon, who got Wijtvliet, who would have been a 2nd son then, cause the oldest would have gotten the more prestigious vT. That would have been a Willem. W#202?
And what about...
Hugo, Willem and Simon
JaL: Simon, the other son of Sicco, had a son Gerrit, banner-heer, was in Egmond klooster in 1143, already an old man. He had sons Hugo, third of Teijlingen, and Willem (0) van Teijlingen, ridder.
Hans Toll NV04: "XIII. Simon, son of Hugo (IV). Would be a brother of W#149. That's a new one. He died on crusade before Coeverden in 8-1237."
What if Willem Wijtvliet was W0? He has oldest son Willem, who was W#149, and 2nd son Simon who got Wijtvliet? Willem (0) wasn't a brother of Hugo, but a brother-in-law.
Hugo might have had a son Simon, but if so, he should have died before 1162, or he would have succeeded. But his sister, that got vT because Simon died early, maybe in battle, named her 2nd son after him. The 1st was named after her husband, the new vT line.
It would also explain a lot of naming. If W#149 was a grandson of Hadewich by W0 Floris van Voorne, he would surely have named a daughter Hazetiaan after her, wouldn't he? Cause she was his connection to vH.
Family tree
We can't really fit it all in one tree it seems.

- How many Willems? Was W#149 son of Willem van Wijtvliet?
- After whom is Willem named (W#149), where did his name come from? Willem I vH was named after William the Lion, and would have been born 1165ish. W#149 was first attested in 1174 and was surely born before that, and there weren't any vT before him named Willem.
- Same for Willem van Wijtvliet b.t.w.
