Johanna Gijsbrechtsdr van Brederode

It is said thet her name was Aleid Van Brederode. She lost her husband, two sons, father and two brothers in the war between the Kabeljauwen party and the Hoeken party. Van Brederode was also an important family of the Hoeken party (perhaps the most important family) and the Jonker Frans war was lead by Squire (Jonker) Frans Van Brederode, which is possible a younger brother of this Aleid Van Brederode. Dirk Hodenpijl fought with this Jonker Frans together against Schiedam, who was of the Kabeljauw party in those days.

There were also many Van BREDERODES beheaded, at the same time husband Dirk Van HODENPIJL was beheaded, for instance a Walraven Van BREDERODE. In very old documents it was also said that the brothers in law and the father in law of this Husband of (Aleid ?) Dirk Van HODENPIJL were captured and beheaded at the same time and that they were out of the family Van BREDERODE.
