Summary

"Author Richard van der Ven's debut novel, "The Frisian," brings to life the rough realities of Medieval life. Set in 1055, the story takes readers on a journey through Frisia and England, following the story of Reginhard, a ministerial's son, tasked with finding a relic that belonged to the holy Willibrord, the first bishop to preach to the Frisians. As the last generation of Anglo-Saxon rulers faces collapse, Reginhard finds himself in the midst of chaos and turmoil. Along the way, he meets a cast of compelling characters, including Robert, a Norman veteran who is loyal to the bishop of Wiltenburg and helps Reginhard on his mission; Shauna, a thrall from Ipswich who joins Reginhard's company after her rebellion against her lord fails; Count Floris, a little-known nobleman who raids Reginhard's village and takes the bishop's land, becoming Reginhard's archenemy; and Ragnar Iverson, a vengeful Viking who seeks revenge against Reginhard's family for killing his father. Through Reginhard's eyes, witness the challenges and dangers of medieval life, including betrayal, domination over farmers, and the plight of bonded servants (thralls). The book combines documented eleventh-century characters with the fictional Reginhard, offering a fresh view on traditional historical fiction"-- Provided by publisher.
