Floris II Count of Holland (or Floris the Fat) (born ca. 1085 in Vlaardingen Zuid-Holland Netherlands; reigned 1091 – March 2 1121) was the first from the native dynasty of Holland to be called Count of Holland.He was the son of his predecessor Dirk V and Othilde. Floris II ended the conflict with the Bishop of Utrecht (which he inherited from his father and should be seen in light of the power struggle between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor) most likely by becoming his vassal.
