In the 13th century, the later Netherlands were still split into many smaller states, of which Holland was the most important one. One ruler of them, Wilhelm of Holland, who died in 1256, made it Roman king. In the year 1287, a great flood swallowed lots of lands in the Netherlands, creating the Zuider Zee, which made it possible for Amsterdam to become an important harbor later. In 1331, Gerhard III of Holstein (the strong man in Denmark) married countess Margarethe of Holland, Zeeland and Hennegau (part of Wallonia).

  • In the 13th century, the later Netherlands were still split into many smaller states, of which Holland was the most important one. One ruler of them, Wilhelm of Holland, who died in 1256, made it Roman king. In the year 1287, a great flood swallowed lots of lands in the Netherlands, creating the Zuider Zee, which made it possible for Amsterdam to become an important harbor later. In 1331, Gerhard III of Holstein (the strong man in Denmark) married countess Margarethe of Holland, Zeeland and Hennegau (part of Wallonia). Later in the century, the Netherlands had to suffer under various famines. In 1391, a group of radical Begines (a religious movement) toppled the bishop of Utrecht in the Eastern Netherlands, working together with his peasants. Although they were relatively peaceful, and probably couldn't have lasted in a war, the stupid bishop managed to anger all his potential allies in the area (the Netherlands were divided between Holstein-Holland-Hennegau, Luxemburg-Limburg, Brabant, Geldern and the (quasi-)republics of Flanders and Frisia at this time). So the new republic continued for a while, until in 1401 Holy Roman Emperor Gerhard I of Holstein crushed it, adding it to his empire.
