What was the Battle of Warns/Starum? | Holland's Invasion of Frisia (1345)

The Battle of Warns (English), Slag By Warns (Frisian), Slag Bij Warns(Dutch) was one of the greatest battles fought in the Medieval Period in the Netherlands. Count William (Willem) IV with an army of Hollandic, Flemish, and French knights sailed across the Zuiderzee with the intention of annexing Middle Frisia, present-day Fryslân. This army met fierce resistance from the local Frisians who took up arms and did battle with them in the region around Warns, Laaksum and Starum (Stavoren).

Today the battlefield of the Battle of Warns at the Reaklif is the site of a commemoration every last Saturday in September by Frisians from all over Frisia.
