Nope that was Willem II of Holland, the father of Floris V. He was killed in 1256 indeed in Hoogwoud while fighting against the West-Frisians. I believe his horse collapsed and he was mangled by the locals who first had no idea who he was. After they found out the buried his body beneath a fireplace in one of the farmhouses.
His son Floris V revenged the dead of his father later in his life and killed a lot of West-Frisians, and been at war with them for a long time. Also builded a lot of castles surrounding the area from where he could easily attack them. O and he did recovered the remains of his father at some time in history .
