The son and heir of William I van Brederode, he was nicknamed 'the Good'.

He married around 1290 with Mary van der Lecke, daughter of Hendrik II, lord of the Leck and Jutte van Borsele.

He took part in, amongst others, the campaign against Friesland in 1288 under the command of Floris V of Holland, with a fleet of ships.

In the same year he led an army sent by Floris V to Utrecht to arrest the lords of Amstel and Woerden.
