Aldgisl

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldgisl

Aldegisel, Aldegisl, Aldgillis, Aldgisl, Aldgils or Eadgils (fl. c. 678) was the ruler of Frisia (as king or duke) in the late seventh century contemporarily with Dagobert II and a very obscure figure. All that is known of him is in relation to the famous saint that he harboured and protected, Wilfrid, but he is the first historically verifiable ruler of the Frisians.[1](p792) What the exact title of the Frisian rulers was depends on the source. Frankish sources tend to call them dukes; other sources often call them kings.

Aldgillis II is described as a gentle and tolerant monarch, the ... Under his administration, the conversion was the Frisians resumed with great zeal, particularly ... II , after the death of Poppo , king would become ZYN whole of Friesland.

Poppo died in 734 at the battle of the boarn which the Frisians by the Franks led by Charles Martel were defeated and the Frisian areas west of the Lauwers were transferred to the Frankish empire .

In the scarce resources that have survived from the early Middle Ages lack direct evidence that Poppo was followed by a Adgillis. This is only mentioned by Eggerik Benninga , which in the 16th century, wrote a chronicle of the Frisians. This would thereby have based on older 'sources'.
