I'm quite late in asking this but why was the dynasty name for the duchy of Brabant changed from "van Reginar", like we can see in the original Germany Tinto Maps, to "Rheinhardszoon"?
I can't seem to find any sources, in any languages, using that name for the dynasty. Not even sure who is that "Reinhard" being referenced here. Is it supposed to be an alternative way to write "Reginar"? Because I can't seem to find it written like that.
I think it would be more logical to simply call the dynasty "van Brabant", the same way the dynasty of Hesse is called "von Hesse" by that point even though they also are descendants of the "Reginars". It would also seem more consistent with the naming of most of the other European dynasties. But going back to the use of "Reginar" seems already more logical than using "Reinhardszoon".
