Leuke video man!

[@tenzin682]

My grandfather's family name is Swarthout, or Zwartwoude in Dutch. I know that they were from Friesland, I was wondering what part, if any, they played in this part of Frisian history. Up until 3 years ago, I had never heard of Friesland, I knew that my mom's family said they were Dutch, but never heard of Frisian. It's very interesting, learning the history. Thanks for your channel!!

[@BackgroundHistory]

Hey thanks for your reply, always fun to hear about family history originating from our tiny province!

[@FrisianDuck]

Wat een leuke video weer! Eén puntje: je spelt Franeker de hele tijd in het Fries als 'Frentsjer', maar er zit nog een j in: Frjentsjer. ;)

[@BackgroundHistory]

Oh ja je hebt gelijk! Had het eigenlijk even moeten dubbelchecken ook al is Fries mijn moedertaal. Blij dat je alsnog van de video genoten hebt!

"The independent lordship of Ameland" I can't help but chuckle

[@wilcolindeboom5588]

Don't mess with Ameland, they might come for you and make you eat their Mill made mustard!

[@StudioMassaAnimatie]

Ja hoor lach maar. Ooit zal het Heilige Amelandse Keizerrijk herrijzen en Sunneklaas op je afsturen voor je oneerbiedwaardigheid. Benieuwd of je dan nog steeds lacht.

[@ewoudvanaalst4089]

@@StudioMassaAnimatie Ik bibber en beef.

[@wilcolindeboom5588]

Hmm do you happen to have a thing for Julius Caesar? 7:23

[@BackgroundHistory]

I don't know what you're talking about...

[@5thMilitia]

Love the vids, but the Franco-Dutch War was not the end of the Dutch great power status. The Dutch lost that in 1748 after the War of the Austrian Succession

[@AlexWijnstra]

The official name is Fryslân. Not Friesland.
