=== Peace between Margaret and her son ===
In December 1354 Margaret came to an understanding with her son. William was recognized as count of Holland and Zeeland, she of [[County of Hainaut|Hainaut]]. William would pay a large amount of money and a pension to his mother. Prisoners were released, and a general amnesty was proclaimed.{{sfn|Blok|1923|p=326}}

In July 1356 Margaret died. It left William in possession of the entire Holland-Hainaut inheritance. William did not enjoy his victory for long. In late Summer 1357 he went to England. Shortly after his return he showed signs of insanity. It became so serious that his wife and council decided to call over his younger brother Albert. The count was then locked up, first in The Hague, and then in [[Le Quesnoy]], where he would live imprisoned for 31 years until his death.{{sfn|Blok|1923|p=326}}
