  • Notes 
    • Sophia of Rheineck, also known as Sophie of Salm, Countess of Bentheim (c.?1120 – 26 September 1176 in Jerusalem) was a German noblewoman. Her father was Count Otto I of Rheineck, the son of the anti-king Hermann of Salm. Her mother was Gertrud of Northeim. She was married to Dirk VI, Count of Holland.

      Sophia built new churches in the abbeys of Egmond and Rijnsburg. In 1138, she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem with her husband. During their return journey, they visited the pope in Rome.

      After her husband's death, she made a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella and two more pilgrimages to Jerusalem in 1173 and 1176. During the latter visit, she died in the St. Mary's hospital of the Teutonic Knights in Jerusalem. She was buried in Jerusalem.
