YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

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.
