Hi Wijtze,

Have you checked out his wiki page?

"Pier Gerlofs Donia (c.1480 – 1520) was a Frisian warrior, pirate, and rebel."

Hi Ric....yes I have. I guess it depends from which point of view you see the man. To me he was a 'freedom fighter' in the same vane as William Wallace was for the Scots. Piers enemies no doubt may have called him a 'pirate'
