	FRISIANS
		The Frisians believed that it was their own forebears who had constructed the stone circles of the British Isles, and the megalithic remains which are found all over Europe.

		The obvious conclusion is that the Frisians were the originators of that culture, the remains of which can be seen to this day in the form of cromlechs, dolmens, barrows, and stone circles such as Stonehenge.

	The Frisians
		Since Frisians have a Roman analogue in the German-border tribe of the Frisii, I decided that they were one of the tribes to the north of Blackmoor.
		I would attribute the closeness of Frisian to close trade and diplomatic contacts prior to Joan of Arc and England's ensuing introversion: the Wars of the Roses, Henry VIII's break with the Church, the economic war against Holland etc. Relatives of the Frisians provided the "Angle" in "Anglo-Saxon" before that.

	i-Friesland: The history of the ancient Frisian people
		This Golden Age of Frisia lasted until the end of the 600s but the Frankish empire (present-day France and part of Germany) was an ever-present rival and threat. Clovis had united the Franks and converted to Christianity in 496 and the Pope in Rome had blessed them as heirs to the Roman Empire.
		East Frisia, which is in present-day northern Germany, remained a free fragment of the empire until conquered by Charlemagne in 785. The great Frankish leader formed the first strong, centralized government in early medieval Europe. He codified the laws of all the conquered people.
		The Frisians produced the Lex Frisonium, which is fascinating for the picture it presents of a people in a state of flux, caught between the ancient pagan ways and the new Catholic creed taught by missionaries like Liudger and Boniface.
