Pier Gorlofs Donia

"By my troth, if I knew which was mightier, the pen or the sword, I would choose the one above the other."

Pier Gerlofs Donia, a Frisian warrior, pirate, and freedom fighter, waged relentless wars against the Dutch in defense of his homeland. A giant in both stature and legend, his acts of defiance, rebellion, and piracy became the symbol of Frisian resistance, while his enormous sword, allegedly weighing over 14 pounds, remains an enduring testament to his strength.
