The Frisian myth is about the origin of the Frisians. In the fantastic Frisian history, the Frisians immediately descended from the Frisii, which were mentioned by Roman and early Middle Ages. In addition, the Frisians would always have lived in freedom and equality and the Frisian identity, culture and language would hardly have changed during that time. A well-known example in which the myth is displayed is Croniicke and Warrior Beschryvinghe van Vrieslant of Ocko Scharlensis. The Oera Linda Book is widely believed to be a fake. There are many origins in Western Europe, such as the Batavian myth that was hanged during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Laying a link between Frisii and Frisians seems to be obvious. Still, this image is no longer hanging out today. Where there are archaeological and written indications for a fairly dense occupation for Roman times, there is a gap from the fourth century to the surrendered sources. The Frisii-Minores and Frisii-Majores are no longer mentioned. The Frisians are mentioned for the first time on an invasion by the Danish king Chochilac or Hygelac in the Rijndelta (about 525), a forerunner of the later Viking trails. These last Frisians are also called Anglo-Frisians. Archeology
The terriers and wirards in Northern Netherlands have been the subject of archaeological research since the nineteenth century. With that research, so far, almost no finds have been made in the fifth and sixth centuries. This indicates a depopulation of the area. For the period immediately thereafter, the findings indicate that Angelsaksen may have mixed with the small rest population, as some of them have shown continued occupation. Toponymy
In addition, there is still the toponymy. This tries to find out what the origin of a city name is. There are some place names in the north of the Netherlands that go back to prehistoric times, but this shows only a very small degree of occupational continuity. It is clear that population density has fallen sharply in late Roman times. The new inhabitants may have taken over the old name after the relocations, but more likely this has happened through the Francs. Literature
