This is a list of famous or notable persons considered Frisians by citizenship, ethnicity or nationality.
The Frisians are a Germanic ethnic group native to the coastal parts of the Netherlands and Germany. They inhabit an area known as Frisia and are concentrated in the Dutch provinces of Friesland and Groningen and, in Germany, East Frisia and North Frisia (which was a part of Denmark until 1864). The Frisian languages are still used by 500,000 speakers; dialects of Frisian are recognized as official languages in both the Netherlands and Germany.
The ancient Frisii enter recorded history in the Roman account of Drusus's 12 BC war against the Rhine Germans and the Chauci. They occasionally appear in the accounts of Roman wars against the Germanic tribes of the region, up to and including the Revolt of the Batavi around 70 AD. Frisian mercenaries were hired to assist the Roman invasion of Britain in the capacity of cavalry. They are not mentioned again until c. 296, when they were deported into Roman territory as laeti (i.e., Roman-era serfs; see Binchester Roman Fort and Cuneus Frisionum). The discovery of a type of earthenware unique to 4th century Frisia, called terp Tritzum, shows that an unknown number of them were resettled in Flanders and Kent, probably as laeti under Roman coercion.
There are several Frisian flags.

For my Ancient World research project, I decided to take a look into the Frisians. This small population inhabited the pieces of land now known as the Netherlands a.k.a. the country I am from. I focused my search on the time when the Frisians were in contact with the Holy Roman Empire, and I brought to light how they grew from there on out. As you probably know, the Romans were quite strong, and they managed to conquer many lands. Thankfully, the Frisians stood their grounds, and I have these people (and many others) to thank for to be able to call myself Dutch. Since I enjoy making, editing, and sharing videos, I thought I might as well share my research project with you. I hope you like it! :-) P.S. I used sources throughout my project, and I cited these in this video. ♡ Dutch ♡ Vl...
About 1300 years ago the Frisians inhabited the dutch Coast, but also parts of Germany and Denmark. These days, they're largely contained in their own province of Frisia. They have their own flag, their own sports and in particular their own language: Frisian, or to put it in Frisian: it Frysk. Frisian is a mandatory subject in school and is therefore spoken by three quarters of the population. Most Frisians also speak Dutch, but as Frisian is an official language you can use it when dealing with the government and even in a court of law. Though it helps if your lawyer also speaks Frisian. If not, there's always Google Translate. Frisian is closely related to both English and Dutch. You can even take a university course in it, but oddly enough you have to go to Frisia’s neighbour, the pr...

Friesland, a nation of strong and independent people with their own language and culture who salvaged their land from the sea and who played a decisive role in creating the 30 km long barrier dyke that links them to the mainland. Leeuwarden is the capital city and an ideal base for exploring the region on foot or more popularly, by bicycle. We visited the Fries Museum to see the impressive royal collection which includes a magnificent jeweled broach from the Middle Ages and an exhibit on the legendary spy, Mata Hari. Travelling alongside the waterways and into the rural areas we spotted the famous black and white Friesian cows and took time out to enjoy Dutch pancakes. For more information visit www.ontopoftheworld.net and check out Episode 50 in the International category.
This is an educational animation, a visualization of one of 41 topics of the canon of Frisian history, entitled 11&30. The numbers stand for the cities and 'districts' the province once had, respectively. This animation deals with Frisian trade throughout the centuries. Each of the 41 animations will be aired by regional broadcasting station 'Omrop Fryslan'. They are all narrated in Frisian, so good luck keeping up! Check http://www.11en30.nu to view all of the animations and maybe do some reading, if you like. At some point the information on here will be available in English as well.
Fascinating Friesland! Friesland is a province of the Netherlands that distinguishes itself by its own typical culture. The Frisian language is one of the main characteristics of this culture. Friesland’s landscape is also unique; it has the largest chain of connected inland lakes in Europe and is perfect for water sport enthusiasts. The forests, beaches and pasturelands, however, make Friesland a perfect place for cycling and walking as well.

Frisian Flag 2013 was held from April 15th - 26th at Leeuwarden Air Base and the nearby Dutch, German and Danish airspace over the North Sea. This year’s focus was on international cooperation and integration. Touchdown Aviation got the opportunity to see this multi national cooperation at Leeuwarden Air Base but also in the air during an E-3A AWACS mission and KDC-10 air to air tanker mission. After a very successful Frisian Flag 2012, the largest to date, this years edition was a good successor with slightly less aircraft participating from different countries but with a couple of firsts of which the presence of the German Deployable Control and Reporting Centre (DCRC) was the most newsworthy (You can find more on this in the report below). During the two weeks about forty-two aircraf...
