What places did the Frisian Vikings Attack?

[@learnfrisian]

What do you think of the video and what would you like to see in another video?

[@jjdevegt]

I'm sorry but Friesians and Vikings are not the same people. What is the source of your information. I feel this isn't quite accurate.

[@learnfrisian]

@@jjdevegt Well, it's a known fact that Frisians were vikings too, probably even before the Norseman.

[@D1-Games]

Frisians were, well, frisians. They did have a connection through trade and politics with their Northern neighbours, the Jutes though (there are some sagas describing these contacts) and those were the actual vikings, not the Frisians. In fact, Dorestad was a Frisian settlement and not Frankish (although too connected to its neighbours through trade). There is some evidence of Frisian participation in the Great Heathen Army though, and there was a Frisian settlement on the Faroer islands. But to ascribe largely Jute actions (those of the 'vikings') to the Frisians is historically incorrect...

[@A_Anitmated_Idiot]

@@D1-Games After seeing these comments I decided to do a little research on if the Frisians were with the Vikings. Now I only looked on the internet so don't trust this too much, but from what little things I could find it seems some of the Frisians did go on adventures with the Vikings but it was not like their whole thing most seemed to just stay home. So the only way we could know if this is true is to have a Frisian expert so I trust what LearnFrisian say but yeah could not find much on it. So I think it was a mix of helping the Vikings and trading with them.

[@D1-Games]

@@A_Anitmated_Idiot Fair enough, but to trust a selfascribed expert on KZbin as a reliable source of information and being historically correct is questionsble at best. As someone previously asked learnfrisian; what are your sources? As a historian, I would love to read them, since every reliable source so far contradicts just about everything stated in this video. Without solid historical and archeological evidence, I'm inclined to see this entire video as wishfull revisionism...

[@tenzin682]

My mother's maiden name is Zwartwoude in Dutch, Swarthout in English, which means blackwood. Until a few years ago we were told we were Dutch, but we're actually West Frisian from Groningen, I'm learning more about my ancestors. These videos are very cool. The sad part is I've never heard too much about them, but I am now!! And I believe these stories to be true. Thank you so very much for these videos!!!

"In English: Fon alra fresena fridome 1 From the freedom of all Frisians 1. Thit was to there tha thi kening kerl riuchta bi gunde. Tha waster ande there saxinna merik liudingerus and hera fele steric. It was at the time that King Charles began to rule. Then there was Liudingerus, a very strong gentleman in the Saxon area . 2. Hi welde him alsa waldlike tha gethan ther hi fon riuchta scrolled bi halda tha kening kerlis kairslica 2 rike. Ac welde hi ma duan hi welde tha Sterka fresan under sinne tegethetian. He wanted to forcefully keep to himself the tithes that he had to legally keep for the imperial kingdom of King Charles. He also wanted to do more, he wanted to bring the strong Frisians under his tenth. 3. Hi bi badit efter all sine rik thet ma hine heta scode king waldelike. tha thi kening kerl thit under stod. tornig was him hir umbe si mod. He commanded throughout his empire that he would be called mighty king. When King Charles learned this, his mind was angry about this. 4. Hi let hit tha fresum tha able duan hodir hia thene nia kening mith him mith stride welde bi stan. Tha fresen gadere komin uppa thit bodisclskip se anne god red ge nomin. He then asked the Frisians whether they wanted to resist this new king with him. The Frisians came together, on this message, they have made a good decision. 5. Thi fresa fele Sterka hi forim tha and tha saxinna merka. Tha sassiska heran for nomin up tha felda ia fresum to ionis komin. The very strong Frisians then went to the Saxon territories. When the Saxon lords learned this , they met the Frisians in the field. 6. Tha fugtin se alsa grimlike 3 or slogma tha saxum bethe thene erma and thene rika. Thag to tha lesta. feng ma or tha saxum heran and ridderan tha exista 4 . Then they fought so grimly, they killed the Saxons, both the poor and the rich. But in the end, the best gentlemen and knights of the Saxons were caught. 7. Iha 5 band ma 6 alsa sere mith een Sterka mere. Ia slats se tha waldelike alder iha 7 thene kening kerl ur nominate sine rike They were tied very tightly with a strong rope. They then led them violently to where they learned that King Charles was in his kingdom. 8. tha 8 hi thet for nom 9 thet him thi saxinna hera all bundin 10 come. he was ande sine hei thi bad tha stulta fresa godne dei. When he learned that the Saxon lords all came to him bound, he was too tired, he wished the goodbye to Frisians. 9. Hi nom se tha ande palas sin hi scanctum bethe fellow ande win. tha fresan forin utes queen 11 howe to iher london iha come again mith halike lowe. He then took them into his palace, he gave them both wine and wine. The Frisians left the king's court , they returned to their country with high praise. 10. Thus, so I have hu ta strong sta fresa his white thene saxa tha for gen. Thus you have understood how the strong Frisians fared then against the Saxons. 11. Thit sce 12 ther after tha ta sta romera heran with thene kening kerl strida 13 bi stuldlike welin iha thene tins bi halda tha keninglika rike. This then happened at a time when the Roman lords began to fight against King Charles. They proudly wanted to withhold the levy from the royal empire. 12. thi kening thit serlike 14 kundegia please note all sine keningrike. Iha komin all together ther werin ande sine rike sibbe ande framede. The king had this proclaimed earnestly throughout his kingdom. They all came together, they were in his kingdom, relatives and strangers. 13. Tha fresan there mere for nominated to thes keningis howe une lathadis se ther komin. Iha werin ther neat ande god wand iha drogin enir stultere lauwa mod. When the Frisians heard of this mare, they came to the king's court unasked. They were useful and valuable there, for they had the courage of a proud lioness. 14. Iha speak ther to fara tha keningge wigandlike. Iha welde onlyena fiugta witha romera heran fore thet kairslike rike. Iha nomina tha scerpa suerd and ihera honda iha gin to fara there burig stooda. They spoke there militantly for the king, they only wanted to fight against the Roman lords for the imperial empire. They took the sharp sword in their hands, they stood before the castle. 15. Tha heran interna there burig th e ge segin uppa thene feld ion tha fresan to stride tha tegin. And ordil warth ther up ge hewin. monig diore wigand warth nither tha there ge slagin. When the gentlemen within the castle saw this, they went to the field to fight against the Frisians. A judgment was raised there, many a valuable warrior was knocked down there. 16. tha to there sti thesa fresa hastelike on tha heran fiugta 15 bi gunde . serlike tha heran umbe tha segin. all balde se to there burg flegin. Then at that time, the Frisians started hurriedly fighting the gentlemen. The gentlemen were embarrassed to see them all, they all fled quickly to the castle. 17. thi fresa folgade mith un tuiuilika sinne. hu hi tha burg kreftlike wnne. thag uppa thet leste wnnin iha tha burg and heran tha exist. The Frisians followed with determination to win the castle with strength. But in the end, they won the fortress and the best of the lords. 18. tha porta gundtma bi sluta thi kening kerl mith sine folke waster abuta. Iha fundent and ihera 16 reason iha welde tha kening kerle iowa bethe burg ande liude. The gate was closed, King Charles and his people were out there. They thought it reasonable that they wanted to give King Charles both fortress and people. 19. thi kening thogte ande sine mode hu hi tha stulta fresa thisse waldelika deda lania scrolled mith eniga god. hi iof him mitha allere arista iefta 17 tha masta. The king thought to himself how he would reward the cow Frisians with some good for these mighty deeds. He gave them the most with the very first gifts. 20. tuintech merka fon brondrada golde ther thi fresa iera hec tha kairscipe to tegetha iowa scolde. thiu iefte ther hi tha fresum ge then thiu moste bucket and bucket mare velika stan. Twenty marks of fire-red gold, which the Frisians would give the emperor annually as a tax. The gift he had made to the Frisians had to last forever and ever. 21. ther hi ta bad kairslike thet se ne scolde nen hera thuwingga waldelike. hit ne were thet iha bi iera goda willa welde thet dua thet se anne hera wolde und fa. In addition, he commanded that no lord would restrain them by force. Unless they wanted to do that on their own free will, they wanted to hire a gentleman. 22. thag wenik ande mine sinne thet hia bi willa angne hera ge winne. 18 nowet 19 allena tha keningge and thisse messenger nogade thes heliga pawis gregorius weld hi hir to fogade. But I doubt that they would accept any lord of their own will. Not only the king and his command were sufficient, he added the authority of St. Pope Gregory. 23. hi bed hit ita Pawis tha thet hi tha Fresán mitha gastelika riuchte welled bi fa. hewelike all hi to bonne se thethe ther tha fresum to any brogte Eng. He then asked the Pope to bring the Frisians under spiritual justice. He forever banned everyone who brought any need to the Frisians. 24. Alder bi bad hit thi kening kerl opinion thet fresan iera hec nige redian him kere. tha kairslika crona hi uppa ihera hawid sette alder umbe hi se scera lette. There, King Charles publicly ordered the Frisians to elect new counselors every year. He put the imperial crown on their heads, so he made them shave. 25. thag ive se thet ne wolde nowet dua ut mostin se him ihera her leta frilike waxa. thet hit all liude mag tha sian thet hi se fri hede ge then. But if they didn't want to do that, they had to let their hair grow freely. That everyone may see that he had made them free. 26. hi bi bad hit him tha keninglike all thi fresa ther were sterik and rike. thet iha anne battle and ihera witta neck scolde him and fa ther efter moste hi knight biliwa. He then commanded them royal, all Frisians who were strong and rich, that they would receive a blow to their white neck from him. After that he had to remain a knight. 27. Wepin scrolled hi ther efter 20 drega all scone and sine scanned moste hi melia tha kenlika crona. thet hi thissa iefta tha fresum he evelike than ther hi keningan 21 and hertigan to witscipe up nom and ondris monege halike man. He would then wear a weapon, a very beautiful one, on his shield he had to paint the royal crown. That he had made this gift to the Frisians forever , he took kings and dukes as a witness and many other great men. 28. thach to lesta hu hit tha efterkumanda evelike erased. Ande tha brewm hit ma bi scref fon tha ieftum ther abuta nowet ur ietin bi guts. But in the end, so that the descendants would know forever, it was described in the letters, of the gifts, nothing was forgotten outside. 29. thet 22 insigil thet was fon tha brondrada golde hu hit all liude knew thet thius ief ikeike stood scrolled. thisse bref ma tha fri fresa iof and sine dog mith dole and mith harum 23 hi wider for and sine ain frilike lond. The seal, which was of fire-red gold, that everyone might know that this gift would last forever. This letter was handed over to the free Frisian, with a gift and with honor he went back to his own free country. 30. Thus mugin hit all liude for stan thet thi kening kerl thene fresa umbe thet the crookedlike strid fri hewet ge then. Thus everyone understands that King Charles the Frisians has released because of the powerful struggle."

I'll definitely make a video about the Frisian Cow someday!

Read The Vikings Secret Yoga. A true story, 1,000 years old. Must Read.

[@learnfrisian]

Is it about the Frisian Vikings?

[@OfficialWiseArt]

The ai images are really bad especially how much they mischaracterize the cities

[@A_Anitmated_Idiot]

Yeah.. Sadly LearnFrisian doesn't seem have the budget to put more accurate or more maybe Manmade photos but I always thought of the videos more like an audio book than a short story. But Yeah I think the description saying "stunning visuals" might be a bit off.

[@A_Anitmated_Idiot]

Wow the Frisians really didn't leave any shore unchecked for a village to raid.. starting to think they most have made it down to Africa or to China at some point! Anyways good job!

[@learnfrisian]

Well they might've, but that's hard to found out haha ^^

[@JonBrownSherman]

Basically everything in this video is about vikings in general, not the "Frisian" ones

[@A_Anitmated_Idiot]

@@JonBrownSherman Yeah but the but some of the Frisians joined the Vikings (at least that is what my research says), So after a few videos it kinda just became "what did the Frisians help the Vikings do?" anyways have a good day

[@BartGielingh]

Is this historicly even correct? I never heard or even read about this.

[@learnfrisian]

It's based on stories and archaeological findings. Unfortunately I can't be a 100% sure...

[@JonBrownSherman]

Basically everything in this video is about vikings in general, not the "Frisian" ones. OP is def reaching with this one.

[@Trump-is-a-Khuilo]

My grandparents were East Frisians. A recent DNA test immediately found the Frisian and German but also Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroe Islands and Baltic reaching down to Kyiv. I’m living proof that this has some truth. They got around.
