Vikings and Frisians. Inhabitants of the North Sea coasts. Blond and
sturdy, with shared cultural characteristics and a similar language.
Almost like family. Or were they? From 810 AD onwards Frisia, at that
time part of the Frankish empire, suffered fierce Viking raids. What
were the consequences of these devastating dragon ship attacks on
Frisia, the elongated coastal area between the Zwin and the Weser? Were
all Frisians opposed to Viking aggression, or did they occasionally turn
Viking themselves? Critically questioning accustomed sources, We Vikings
aims to unearth fresh material from a long-lost landscape and to offer a
new perspective on existing ideas.
