History With Hilbert | What was the Pagan Frisian Religion in the Early Middle Ages? | Archaeological Evidence @historywithhilbert | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
The Frisians were a Germanic-speaking people living in the coastal area of the Netherlands and Germany. Before the conversion to Christianity, a long process beginning after the Frankish Conquest of Frisia, the Frisians worshipped a series of gods, likely closely related to the Norse gods known from Icelandic Mythology like Odin, Thor, Frey and others. In this lecture, I talk about what archaeological remains pertain to the paganism or heathenism in Frisia, their cemeteries and burial practices, relations to the Norse and Anglo-Saxon worlds.
