Herman VI van Woerden

Herman VI van Woerden (c. 1240 – after 1303) was a lord of Woerden who was involved in a plot to kidnap of Floris V, Count of Holland. In 1296, he collaborated with Gijsbrecht van Amstel and Gerard van Velsen to take Floris prisoner at Muiden Castle. The incident led to the death of Floris, after which Woerden fled to Brabant.
