Gundebold

Gundebold

Gundebold, Gondobaldus or Adgillis III (725 - 760) was according to the "Cronica der Friesen" of Eggerik Benninga, King of the Frisians between 748 and 760.He would have been the son and successor of Adgillis II, whose existence is also uncertain.

Afterwards his son Radboud II would succeed him being the last independent king of the Frisians.

Gundebold ruled on a Frisian territory east of the Lauwers and the Frisian Groningen. In 734, the Franks conquered the Frisian king Poppo, an ancestor of Gundobold, in the Battle of the Boarn, in which most of the Friesian areas fell into the hands of the Merovingian Empire.

In 748 the Rex Frigionum granted military assistance to major-domo Pippin III as it is at war against the Saxons.
