As Beka says, he brought not only the rebellious Groningen to rest, 1143, and defeated the Count of Bentheim, which in alliance with the Count Dietrich VI. Holland invaded Drenthe, but also forced the latter, the order to ask him in Utrecht is closed, by the threat of excommunication, peace and reconciliation.
