Friso is a legendary king of the Frisians who is said to have ruled around 300 BC. According to Martinus Hamconius in his 17th-century chronicle Frisia seu de viris rebusque illustribus, and also the 19th-century hoax Oera Linda Book, Friso was a leader of a group of Frisian colonists who had been settled in the Punjab for well over a millennium when they were discovered by Alexander the Great. Taking service with Alexander [1] , Friso and the colonists eventually found their way back to their ancestral homeland of Frisia, where Friso founded a dynasty of kings.
Another legend has it that a red banner owned by Friso, called the Magnusvaan, is hidden at the church Almenum. [2]
