The History of the Vikings in the Netherlands

Did Dutch Vikings exist? In this video I'm going to focus on the history of the Vikings in the Netherlands. The Netherlands were back then referred to as the Low Countries. The Low Countries were closely located to Scandinavia. The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. How were the Netherlands influenced by the Vikings? There was Rorik of Dorestad who took control over large parts of Frisia (or: Friesland). He was named after the place he conquered: Dorestad. So how did the Vikings influenced these areas? The history of Frisia (Friesland) was heavy influenced by the Vikings. Norsemen culture was definitely present in Friesland. In Friesland Vikings raided and settled.
