By Domingus António de Sequeira, dated 1813.

He lived from 1218–1291AD. He was Count of Habsburg from 1240 and King of the Romans from 1273. This statue dates from 1843. Construction of the Dom of Spires started in 1030AD on the spot of a basilica. The cathedral was consecrated in 1061. It was enlarged in 1090–1106. It was severely damaged in 1689 during the Nine Years’ War but restored and changed in 1748–1772. In 1792 the cathedral was damaged again by the French troops. In 1846–1853 frescoes were added to the church, nowadays not greatly appreciated. A Neo-Romanesque westwork replaced the Baroque one from 1772 in 1858. The Cathedral holds a number of graves of German kings and emperors.

He may have a bit of a low brow, but he wasn't a lowbrow: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Caulfeild,_1st_Earl_of_Charlemont Castletown House was built in 1722 for William Conolly, the Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. More info: www.castletownhouse.ie

He was also Lord of West Friesland. Floris V lays buried in Rijnsburg.

This weekend is monument weekend and many monuments are open to the public. The Rijnlandhuis dates from around 1600.

This seal can be found on the grave of the counts just outside the modern parish church of Rijnsburg. It used to be the abbey of Rijnsburg.

The names are as follows: William I (ca. 1167-1222) Count of Holland from 1203 Floris IV (1210-1234 Count of Holland from 1222 Floris V (1254-1296) Count of Holland from 1256 John I (1284-1299) Count of Holland from 1296 The red paint is graffiti. Apparantly the old counts aren't held in respect these days. The council of Rijnsburg doesn't care either. In 1975 Queen Juliana reburied her predecessors after they were discovered in 1949. In recent times some controversy has arrisen whether the bones are those of the counts.
