  === Biography ===
  "Florencius, Graaf van Holland"
  
  Floris was born on 24 June 1210 (on the next feast of St John the Baptist, 24 June 1215, he would be 5 years old[3]). There appears to be no record of where he was born, but The Hague originated around 1230, when Floris purchased land to build a hunting residence, which his son, William II, extended into a palace, later called the Binnenhof. The village around the Binnenhof was first mentioned as Haga in a charter dated 1242.[4]
  
  Floris was the oldest son and heir of Willem I Count of Holland and his first wife, Adelheid van Gelre.[1]

  === Land Purchase which would become "The Hague" - Holland ===
  The Hague originated around 1230, when Count Floris IV of Holland purchased land alongside a pond, the present-day Hofvijver, in order to build a hunting residence. In 1248, his son and successor William II, King of the Romans, decided to extend the residence to a palace, which would later be called the Binnenhof (Inner Court). He died in 1256 before this palace was completed but parts of it were finished by his son Floris V, of which the Ridderzaal (Knights' Hall), still intact, is the most prominent. It is still used for political events, such as the annual speech from the throne by the Dutch monarch. From the 13th century onwards, the counts of Holland used The Hague as their administrative centre and residence when in Holland.
