More info from German DNB[edit]

I just wanted to note here some more information on this Dietrich's impact as count, from the German DNB:

Dietrichs V. [VI.] (1202-60, ⚭ 1] ?, 2] Hedwig von Meißen), beginnend mit dem Erwerb von Uedem und Sonsbeck-Winnekendonk auf Kosten Kölns, steht im Zeichen verstärkter Binnenkolonisation vor allem durch holländische Einwanderer, der Sicherung verstreuter Besitz- und Hoheitsrechte durch Städtepolitik und Burgenbau sowie insgesamt friedlicher, wenn auch durch Gemengelage von Besitz und Rechten häufigen Belastungen unterworfener, verwandtschaftlicher Beziehungen zu Geldern, einer nach zahlreichen Fehden seit 1247 prokölnischen Politik und freundschaftlich-bundesgenössischer Verbindungen mit Utrecht, Holland und Brabant. Bereits zu Lebzeiten des Altgrafen verwalten und regieren dessen Söhne selbständig Teile der Grafschaft

This exceeds my abilities with German but could be used to expand the article. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:48, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
