Sooooooo, when uhm... are we like... gonna... "relocate" De Stenen Man to I dunno... the sea?

Great video as usual!

[@StudioMassaAnimatie]

Je weet dat je de video kunt vertrouwen wanneer Ameland niet is ingekleurd en er een stippenlijn door Schokland gaat. Verder waardeer ik het schilderij op 9:26 en wil ik om geen klaarblijkelijke reden 2:00 uitlichten.

[@BackgroundHistory]

Oh ja, dat schilderij is gewoon een tribuut aan een moderne klassieker!

[@woutersplinter4981]

Dat dus, gewoon ook zulke details correct. Moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik dat van Schokland eerder niet opgemerkt had, maar dat van Ameland wel en werd daar zeer vrolijk van.

I certainly hadn't expected the Spanish Inquisition.

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.

Yeah, I would say that the name was used for the broader region, for a while the name Little-Friesland was used for the Ommelanden after all! It would explain why they never changed it, because it would then be accurate in the time it was written. Another explanation would of course be that Groningen or Ommelanden might not fit the tune as well as Vrieslant!

Explain what the word 'heit' means.! Amazing !

[@wilcolindeboom5588]

It's the Frisian word for father

FDR and his wife were cousins, maybe the NY state flag would have been more accurate
