It was around 800, when the Scandinavian Vikings first attacked Frisia, which was still under Carolingian rule, the Frisians were released from military service on foreign territory in order to be able to defend themselves against the Vikings. The Frisians victory in the Battle of Norditi in 884, enabled them to drive the Vikings permanently out of East Frisia, although it remained under constant threat.<br> Over the centuries,while feudal lords reigned in the rest of Europe, no aristocratic structures emerged in Frisia. This was represented abroad by redjeven who were elected from among the wealthier farmers or from elected representatives of the autonomous rural municipalities.<br><br> | It was around 800, when the Scandinavian Vikings first attacked Frisia, which was still under Carolingian rule, the Frisians were released from military service on foreign territory in order to be able to defend themselves against the Vikings.
