Battle of Dorestad
C695 battle
The Battle of Dorestad was a 7th-century battle between the Franks and the Frisians. The battle took place around 695 by the capital city of the Frisians close to the Rhine. The Franks were victorious in the battle under the Austrasian mayor of the palace, Pepin of Herstal. Though not all the consequences of the battle are clear, Dorestad became Frankish again as did the castles of Utrecht and Fechten.
