Floris de Zwarte was named in the Biography of our grandfather Herman "Graaf van Cuijck" van Cuijk II: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Cuijk-6#_note-1, (see comments in prophile). I know there was a conflict between some of the van Cuijck family and Floris, but sometimes they were allies (against dirk van Holland, Floris brother). I can t find anything that Floris was killed by Herman and Gotfried van Kuijck like it is written in Herman s biography.
