Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Friesian king Redbad/Radboud portrayed in this film is not to be confused with the catholic Saint Radbod/Radboud, bishop of Utrecht as well as namesake of many catholic institutions (such as the hospital and university of the Dutch city of Nijmegen). Saint Radbod was probably named after his ancestor, king Redbad, but he was born more than a hundred years later.
- GoofsDorestad is in the center of the Netherlands, but the movie makes it looks like it is near the sea. The battle for Dorestad is won by diverting the Frankisch cavalry to the sea and having them drown in the upcoming tide. This would have been a two day journey. One historian however has controversially placed Dorestad at the current location of Audruicq, near the French coast.
- Alternate versionsIn January 2019 the movie aired on TV in the Netherlands as a four part mini-series, with about 40 minutes of extra footage, the mini-series version having a total running time of 3 hours 18 minutes compared to 2 hours 38 minutes for the theatrical version.

Featured review
Interesting story, very nicely filmed ( high contrast/ desatuarated imagery), decent acting all around, nice battlescenes but nothing you haven't seen done before ( and better done), nice looking leadactors.... but the movie is way to long... it would have benefited greatly from some sharp editing. It could have been easily 30 min shorter en much the better for it.
I caught myself glanzing at my watch a couple of times ...
To many unneccesary long scenes and other scenes could have benefited from from some added time
All in all ok but not great and certainly not a sensation ( even by Dutch standards)
