Historical background

AUSTRASIA - DORESTAS - DEUERSTEDT (HOLLAND)

(7th century)

Dorestad was located on one of the arms of the mouth of the Rhine, on the remains of an ancient Roman fort, in present-day Netherlands, near the town of Wijk bij Duurstede. Between 600 and 850, the port was often the subject of war between the Frisians and the Franks.
