The History of Friesland / Fryslân / Frisia

The Dutch province of Friesland has a rich history. The history of Friesland goes back to the Frisii who lived during the time of the Romans. The Frisii culture declined to make way for the Frisians. They eventually founded the Kingdom of Frisia (Magna Frisia). From that moment the history of Frisia began. The Frisian Kingdom contained large parts that are today part of the Netherlands. Therefore the history of Friesland is part of the history of the Netherlands. Dutch history has been influenced by the Frisians. Also by the Vikings. The Vikings arrived in the Netherlands when a power vacuum was created because of the crumbling of the Frankish Empire (Francia or the Carolingian Empire). In Frisia Vikings raided and traded. The Viking Rorik of Dorestad settled as well. This made the Vikings in the Netherlands also colonizers. Later Friesland would be taken over by the County of Holland. In 1588 Friesland was one of the founding members of the Dutch Republic. After the Batavian Revolution Friesland would be incorporated into the Batavian Republic; the Kingdom of Holland; the First French Empire and then the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Friesland is a unique province of the Netherlands with its own flag, culture and Frisian language.

    My Pake is Frisian from Friesland. 12 BC, the Romans discovered Magna Frisia. Prior to 400 AD when floods came many Frisians migrated to Kent, England & Flanders. BUT the Kent, England Frisians moved back to Friesland at some point when the Anglo-Saxons wars broke out. Frisii are the original Frisian people. "The Frisii (Old Frisian and Old English: Frīs) were an ancient Germanic tribe living in the low-lying region between the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta and the River Ems, and the presumed or possible ancestors of the modern-day ethnic Frisians. The Frisii were among the migrating Germanic tribes that settled along the North Sea in the 4th century BC. They came to control the area from roughly present-day Bremen to Bruges, and conquered many of the smaller offshore islands. In the 1st century BC, the Frisii halted a Roman advance and thus managed to maintain their independence. In the Germanic pre-Migration Period (i.e., before c. 300 AD) the Frisii and the related Chauci, Saxons, and Angles inhabited the Continental European coast from the Zuyder Zee to south Jutland. All of these peoples shared a common material culture, and so cannot be defined archaeologically. On the east they were originally bordered by the Ampsivarii who lived at the mouth of the Ems until AD 58, at which time the Chauci expelled them and gained a border with the Frisii. The Chauci to the east were eventually assimilated by their presumed descendants the Saxons in the 3rd century. Some or all of the Frisii may have joined into the Frankish and Saxon peoples in late Roman times, but they would retain a separate identity in Roman eyes until at least 296, when they were forcibly resettled as laeti (i.e., Roman-era serfs) and thereafter disappear from recorded history. Their tentative existence in the 4th century is confirmed by archaeological discovery of a type of earthenware unique to 4th-century Frisia, called terp Tritzum, showing that an unknown number of Frisii were resettled in Flanders and Kent, likely as laeti under the aforementioned Roman coercion. The lands of the Frisii were largely abandoned by c. 400 due to Migration wars, climatic deterioration and flooding caused by sea level rise. They lay empty for one or two centuries, when changing environmental and political conditions made the region habitable again. At that time, settlers that came to be known as 'Frisians' repopulated the coastal regions. Medieval and later accounts of 'Frisians' refer to these 'new Frisians' rather than to the ancient Frisii." The Frisii were the indigenous people of the Netherlands & countries along the North Sea. BTW, I read that artifacts were found in western Netherlands that are supposed to be of Frisian making & date back to 1750 BC.

What i've learned recently and u confirm is that there were 2 Frisias. The first one the Romans knew and was wiped out by 'climate change' i.e. the lowlands getting flooded out. The second with the remnants intermingling with Saxons and Danes - us. My sister had a DNA test done recently and learned she had a lot of Northern European DNA (read Scandinavian) - whether from intermingling or 'pillaging' who knows.

    What is often lost is that the Frisians migrated - sometimes with other nearby Germanic tribes (most notably the Chaukians to form the Franks) - into what is now Northern France/Belgium and also southeast England (they colonized Kent) during those early coastal floodings and after the fall of the Roman empire. Much is talked about in terms of the Anglo Saxons but the Frisians often get lost in these history teachings. They're much bigger than history gives them credit for. And they are quintessentially Dutch. Oh and those red things in the flag? Those are pompeblêden (leaves of the the water lily) not hearts. :)

I learned a lot and yet so much information was left out. I also have been trying to learn more about Frisian paganism.

And by the way the Frisian Freedom has nothing to do with the rebellion against Holland. The Frisian Freedom has its roots in the battle of the romans against the holy roman empire. The freedom was a present from Karl the Great for the victory of the frisian warriors.

Thank you for this knowledge. You mention about Frisian Paganism, my household was strictly Pagan. In my house we celebrated Celtic holidays. Beltane and Samhain were the biggest and we would gather with other Pagans. There would be 50+ people and the celebrations would last 1-3 days. We would rent a campsite ahead of time too. This was in Florida, where there was a lot of cultures mixed. I'm very glad my ancestors were pagan as well.

    it took several centuries for the Angles and the (majority of) Saxons, who quickly were named 'Saxons' overall to be referred to as 'English' (from Angleland and Angles). Therefore if the 'new' Frisians in what is now the Netherlands and North-Germany were also a majority of Anglo-Saxon immigrants why didn't the 'Saxon' name stick to the region and the population? To make history even more complicated: Right during the Viking Age (roughly between 800 and 1000 CE) the Frisians (re?)populated what is now Northern Friesland/Frisia (in nowadays Schleswich-Holstein, Germany) in the coastal area where (at least) the Saxons (!) emigrated from!!! Some historians say 'Friesland/Frisia' was just a 'political' name that the Carolingian Frankish Empire gave to the region (and therefore the inhabitants) and that that name stuck. Fact is that until the 11 Century CE the whole coastal region till the Sincfal (het Zwin) in Flanders all later Hollanders a.o. were considered Frisians. 'Holland' started as an 'upstart' region within Western Frisia and became dominant, hence all Hollanders (and Zealanders/Zeeuwen) lost their Frisian identity. And even quite fast now. (not like the Saxons in Britain!). Yet, no doubt that Frisians, Angles and Saxons had much in common culturally. Old Frisian and Old English were both 'Northsea germanic (Ingwaeonic)' languages .

    The ancestors of the Frisii were just like most other western Europeans celtic, until about 3,000 years ago. Then germanic people moved in and ethnicity shifted. Although neither would call themselves germanic or celtic. During the seventh and eight century, the northwestern part of the Netherlands, although known as Frisia, wasn't solid ethnicly Frisian. The inhabitants of the central part of the Netherlands, in which Utrecht en Dorestad lie, considered the Frisians as occupiers and considered themselves mostly Franconian. The wars fought between the Frisians and the Franconians were not about religion (although religion has always been a great false reason to start a war). It was about wealth and power. The Franconian rulers thought of themselves as the true heirs of Rome and so the rightfull rulers of the wealthy trading post Dorestad and the whole of the central part of the Netherlands. For the Frisian rulers this was a big fat catch as well, especially "King" Redbed. A frisian warlord probably from what is now Kennemerland, on the north sea coast around Haarlem and Velsen. Redbed did not just fought the Franconians but also fought with the west Franconians against east Franconians and had his daughter marry the son of the east Franconian chancellor Pipin.

Also maybe fun to know: Ribe (apparently the oldest City in Denmark and Scandinavia in general) was founded by the Frisians in the beginning of the 8th century and was taken over by the Danes at the end of the 8th century. If i am not mistaken, Ribe is also sometimes seen as the place where the Viking age started.
