William I , Count of Holland William I ( c . 1167 , The Hague – 4 February 1222 ) , Count of Holland from 1203 to 1222 . He was the younger son of Floris III and Ada of Huntingdon . Life . William was raised in Scotland . He started a revolt against his brother , Dirk VII and became count in Friesland after a reconciliation . Friesland was considered as a part of Holland by the Counts of Holland . His niece , Ada , Countess of Holland inherited Holland in 1203 , but William couldn ' t accept this . After a civil war ( part of the Hook and Cod Wars ) , which lasted for several years , William won the war . Ada and her husband , Louis II , were supported by the bishop of Liège and bishop of Utrecht , and the count of Flanders . William was supported by the duke of Brabant and by the majority of the Hollanders . Emperor Otto IV acknowledged him as count of Holland in 1203 , because he was a supporter of the Welfs . He and many others changed allegiance to emperor Frederick II after the battle of Bouvines in 1214 . He took part in a French expedition against king John of England . The pope excommunicated him for this . Possibly because of this , William then became a fervent crusader . He campaigned in Prussia and joined in the conquest of Alcácer do Sal . In Europe , he came to be called William " the Crazy " for his chivalric and reckless behaviour in battle . William conquered the city of Damietta during the Fifth Crusade . Evolution of the county . There were great changes in the landscape of Holland in the end of the 12th and during the 13th century . Many colonists bought land to turn the swamps into polders . Most of the swamps had been sold , and irrigation had started during the reign of William . Huge infrastructural works were done ; the island called Grote Waard was enclosed with dikes all around and a dam was built at Spaarndam . New governmental bodies were created , the so - called " water boards " , which were charged with the task of protecting the polders against ever - present threat of flooding . Count William granted city rights to Geertruidenberg in 1213 , to Dordrecht in 1217 , to Middelburg in 1220 and perhaps also to Leiden . In this way he gave an impulse to trade . Family . Count William was married twice . First , he was married in 1197 at Stavoren to Adelaide of Guelders , daughter of Otto I , Count of Guelders and Richarde of Bavaria . Adelaide died on 12 February 1218 while William was away on crusade . On his return he married secondly , in July 1220 , Marie of Brabant , daughter of Henry I , Duke of Brabant and Maud of Boulogne and Alsace . She was the widow of Emperor Otto IV .

She also helped to train reserves and midshipmen . With the outbreak of the war in Europe , and America ' s initial effort to protect its shipping while remaining neutral , " Talbott " was assigned patrol duties in the waters off the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal . Following America ' s entry into the war with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor , the ship took up convoy escort duties between New Orleans , Cuba , and the Canal , helping to protect the sea lanes and to move the vast amounts of men and materiel needed for victory . Following an overhaul in Boston in January 1944 , " Talbott " sailed 13 February with her first transatlantic convoy , and , after her safe return from Casablanca , took up escort duties with convoys from Iceland southward into the Caribbean .

It was introduced in 1965 / 6 , replacing the Ordnance ML 3 inch Mortar in UK service where it is used by the Army , the Royal Marines and the RAF Regiment . In UK armoured / mechanised infantry battalions , the L16 mortar is mounted in a vehicle , usually the FV 432 AFV ( six per battalion mortar platoon ) or Bv 206 ( or the M113 APC in the many armies that use it ) . Otherwise , it is carried dissassembled in three loads , ( barrel , baseplate and bipod with sights , each approximately 11 kg ) , normally carriedby a vehicle or helicopter and assembled for firing from the ground .

The ammunition in this case would be carried by other soldiers of the battalion . In addition to his normal equipment , each man would carry four bombs in a pair of two - bomb , plastic containers ( known as " greenies " in the British Army ) .
