Danish rule in west Frisia: a failed Normandy in the 9th century
Über diese Publikation
Early-medieval Frisia held a very peripheral position in relation to the Frankish Empire. As soon as the independent political development of the Frisians in the coastal region of the Netherlands, which had started in the 7th century under the direction of the Frisian kings, began to pose a threat to Frankish interests, it was terminated in the 8th century by the subjection, Christianisation and integration of the Frisians in the Carolingian Empire. Nevertheless, these politically and geographically peripheral Frisians continued to play a central economic role as long-distance traders across the North Sea, and were the mainstay of Frisian trade via the Carolingian emporium Dorestad.
