So ... the Austrians stayed out of everything? Oh they had problems of their own ... Plaque, Turks and sure somd othef things 😅

Dear admin, ik heb een replica laten maken van Pier’s zwaard, 2.13 cm lang. Het is scherp en sterk gesmeden. Ik ga emigreren en zoek een koper voor dit machtige wapen. Liefst de kerk waar hij nu ligt in Friesland. Hoe kan zijn zwaard in Leeuwarden liggen en zijn lichaam en schoenen in Sneek?

It is really fascinating that Vriesland is mentioned in the fourth verse of Het Wilhelmus, even though the event it describes is in Groningen province (Heiligerlee) - It is of course possible that van Marnix did not know where it was, since he was flemish, but you would think that this would have been corrected at a later stage. It is more plausible that at that time people still saw Vriesland as the whole of the North. I guess that only changed in the late 16th Century, especially after Rennenberg (the Traitor) gifted Groningen to the Spanish.

I have just discovered your videos. Great stuff. I am currently interested in the religious history of the Netherlands, and especially Frisian history. Thanks for these videos. In the late 80s I used to go fishing regularly near Oudega, bij Drachten, and occasionally saw a plaque which was to commemorate the brief clash between Bommer Berend''s Scouts and local militia. At the time I did not really know too much about that, but I thought it was interesting. Anyway - Fryslan boppe. Groetnis ut Engelan

The Roman influence on the early Middle Ages used to be really underrated, well done!

9:50 dude has seen some sh*t

This video deserves thousands and thousands more views. The fact that it doesn't has nothing to do with the quality but of KZbin's crazy algorithms. So well done! Entertaining and informative. Thank you for your efforts and look forward to more videos.

Nice video about Grutte Pier!

Louis xiii should be given more credit to his centralization of power.

Just looked at my family tree apperantly im a decendent of wijerd jelckama

Ostfriesland too

Really cool to see that the glory of Rome continued in the arts!

MAGANA FRISIA!

It's officially called The Bibble now.

Great job tackling a huge subject... well done!

Thank you for your logical analysis on this subject!

I'd say there never was a Magna Frisia. Like in the area now known as Lower Saxony, Frisians were divided in clans and lived in areas seperated by vast stretches of water. So Redbad and Aldgisl were, probably, wealthy leaders and dukes. Redbad most likely, maybe with some forefathers from present day Fryslan, was from Kinheim/Kennemerland. The least of Redbads concerns was the Frisian identity (which is a 19th century invention). Like every noble in the early middle ages he was all about wealth and keeping his status. Him switching alliances between the East and West Franks the battles for the possession of trading towns like Dorestad and Utrecht (both not Frisian in origin) and his disputes with other Frisian local nobles, like Addo Wursing (grandfather of Liudger) shows this. His baptism myth is most likely a piece of Frankish propaganda (portraying Redbad as a savage heathen) later used to create an Frisian identity and show how stubborn and true to his people he was. So the history of the whole of Friesland doesn't equal the history of Redbad and the parts of Frisia we now know as Holland and Utrecht. You could even argue if Redbad was Frisian in the modern sense. And that he was more Hollands.

I like the video content but wonder why you would put so much effort into them but won't put the effort into pronouncing the word "Friesian." The "ie" rhymes with the "ee" sound in freeze and not the "i" sound in frigid.

Mooie kaarten en top videootje

een leger van 5000 man? wat aten ze dan . hoe moet ik me zo n kamp voorstellen. je bent een geweldige geschiedenisleraar

Nice one as usual, shame that the wooden panels of the Romans are lost!

Something different than usual but still EPIC!

Many hours of the academic interpretaton of Art History, condensed into 14 minutes. Bravo!

You in some way managed to make art history interesting, or... fun, yeah, let's keep it at fun <3

The official name is Fryslân. Not Friesland.

Great video! One of the first that I've seen that delves into the account of King Aldgisl (or Aldgillis). This king is alledgedly buried in the town of Stavoren in the Netherlands. The frisian student association in Delft, called Aldgillis, still goes to his grave every year to honor his legacy!

you really need to pronounce more clearly

"here is Louis"😂

I've been to Eise's house. It's kind of surreal to think that this guy who wasn't even a professional scientist has such a lasting impact on how people view astronomy

This doesn't explain why William and the Dutch States General wanted to invade. It just explains why there wasn't much resistance to their invasion from the English population. The Dutch invaded because they couldn't afford a hostile England during the Nine Years War against France. The Anglo-French invasion of 1672 was still fresh in Dutch minds

West Friesland is Noord Holland,niet Friesland.

Great video! As an East Frisian the stories of Radbod and Boniface have always resonated with me as a historical example of Frisians "sticking to their guns" in terms of identity

The "we're here on invitation and only here to help" thing is a bunch of pamphlet war misinformation to cover for an straight forward invasion. Of course you will wait for an internal unrest. Allocating 1/3 of your GDP to help out a neighbour... out of the goodness of your heart, yeah right.

Honestly France and Europe during Louis XIV is way to often "France intimidates, it fails, war break out, France absolutely bodies the first guy that comes, slows down to logistics, gets attritionned into defeat, everyone comes to fight France, France ruins its economy for the 6th time this century, France wins the war anyway and gets more land, Europe gets more pissed so tries to jump France harder the next time.

Top video, veel van geleerd! Je kan zien dat je er veel tijd in hebt gestoken

Nice one!

Love your content! U doet wonderen

The inclusion of east Frisia in a faded orange colour is a awesome addition because the influence of the Dutch was so high in the area.

Lekker bezig maat! You make excelent content, keep up the good work, you will grow you audience for sure!

1:26 you are sure that Louis wasn't called 'Van Gaal' of his last name?
