Ep 330 - Frisia with Hilbert Bryn Gysbert Vinkenoog (Patreon)

Who were the Frisians, and why has their powerful early medieval realm been overlooked in North Sea history?

In this episode, Daniel Farrand and Margrethe Havgar are joined by researcher and YouTuber Hilbert Vinkenoog (History with Hilbert) to uncover the forgotten kingdom of Medieval Frisia. Wedged between Anglo-Saxon England, Frankish Gaul, and Viking Age Scandinavia, Frisia commanded vital waterways and maintained a distinct, fiercely independent coastal culture.

Discover the legendary pagan ruler King Redbad, explore how Frisian warriors allied with Viking fleets on pirate raids across Europe, and learn about the extraordinary archaeology of the terpen—artificial settlement mounds holding treasures rivaling Sutton Hoo.
