The son and heir of William I van Brederode, he was nicknamed 'the Good'. Dirk van Brederode became lord of Brederode in 1285, bailiff of Kennemerland in 1288, and was knighted in 1290. He married around 1290 with Mary van der Lecke, daughter of Hendrik II, lord of the Leck and Jutte van Borsele.

In the same year he led an army sent by Floris V to Utrecht to arrest the lords of Amstel and Woerden. He died on his journey back from Palestina. He was buried in the Dominican church in Rheims.
