  • Notes 


    • Bertha of Holland (c. 1055-1094) was the first wife and queen of Philip I o f F r a n c e, King of France.: She was the daughter of (Florent I) Floris I , C o u n t o f Holland, by his wife Gertrude of Saxony, the daughter of Ber na r d I I , D uke of Saxony. After her father died in 1061, her mother rema r r i e d t o Robert I, Count of Flanders, called Le Frisian. In 1072 her st e p f a t her concluded a peace treaty with King Philip. As part of the term s o f t h e t r eaty Bertha was married to Philip.

      Nine years passed before Bertha produced the desired son and heir, Loui s . R e p o rtedly, her fertility was only restored thanks to the prayers of a h e r m i t , Arnoul, who also named the child.
