This card is from my comic book Fete. The true story of the Frisian Fete era and the Great Frisian War that raged in the Frisian lands from 1413 to 1422. This is an overview of the parties (mainly the Schieringers and Vetkopers) who fought each other for supremacy. This war almost marked the end of the period of Frisian Freedom, a unique period in which there was no central authority in the Frisian lands during the late Middle Ages, when the Dutch intervened in the conflict. An interesting and underexposed piece of history. Also great for on the wall to see the size of Friesland at that time.
