  Radbod, king of the Frisians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adgild appears to have submitted to the largely conceptual overlordship of the Frankish king, Dagobert II in 675, but under his successor, Radbod, an attempt was made to extirpate Christianity and to free the Frisians from the Frankish subjection associated with it.
Radbod was, however, beaten by Pippin of Herstal in the battle of Dorstadt (689), and was compelled to cede West Frisia (Frisia Citerior, "Nearer Frisia" from the Scheldt to the Zuider Zee) to the Franks.
He forced Saint Willibrord and his monks to flee, and this time he advanced as far as Cologne, where he defeated the famous Charles Martel, Pippin's natural son in 716.

 ::: St. Willibrord ::: Echternach ::: Springprozession :::
At the age of twenty Willibrord was irresistibly drawn towards Ireland, the "Isle of Saints", where he submitted to strict asceticism at the monastery of Rathmelsigi.

Faithfulness to their patron saint is proved by pilgrimages to Echternach and their participation in the Dancing Procession.
