Samenvatting

The question whether the fibula from Wijnaldum can be regarded as evidence for the existence af kingship in early medieval Frisia is a subject af debate among Dutch archaeologists. The author argues that this is partly a matter af definition. Archaeologically, the fibula from Wijnaldum is comparable to jewellery found in graves with an historically 'royal' signature.
