Redbad II

Redbad II

Redbad II or Radbodus II (rule 760–786 or 734-754 or 749-775) was a possible king of Frisia. He was the son of Adgillis III. His territory was east of the Lauwers and included present day East Friesland and Groningen (province) which are now part of the Netherlands.

At this time Frisia had already been conquered by the Franks, and in 775, Charlemagne made Frisia officially part of the Frankish Realm.

The different dates are derived from different sources. Hamconius is one source, the Oera Linda is a fraudulent book also mentioning him
