The Frisii; an ancient Germanic people who inhabited the coastal regions of what is now the Netherlands and northwestern Germany.
Latin name for these Germanic tribes, first documented by Roman sources. The root possibly relates to 'fresh' or 'bold,' though etymology is debated.
The Frisii so effectively resisted Roman conquest that even Caesar's legions struggled to subdue them—they built terpen (artificial dwelling mounds) and knew every tidal channel of their marshland homeland.
