he had forty old ships loaded with burg weapons, wood, bricks that were baked here, carpenters, masons and smiths, in order to build burgs. He sent along his son Witto — that is: ‘white one’ — to oversee. I was not informed about what exactly happened there, but, apparently, a subsidiary burg was built on both sides of the harbor entrance. They were populated with folk that Friso took from the Saxonmarks. Witto courted Siuchtheart and married her. Wilhim, as her father was called, was principal ‘alderman’ of the Jutters — that is: principal ‘grevetman’ or reeve. Wilhim died shortly afterwards, and Witto was chosen in his place. |
