Z. Era of Askar
f. Askar's Failure
[208/17] When the pestilence had finally passed, the Twisklanders, who had been made members of the Frya, came to the Rhine. But Askar did not wish to be associated with the princes of what he deemed a vulgar, bastardized folk. He could not stand that they called themselves Frya’s children as Reintia had promised them they could.[1] But he was forgetting, of course, that he himself had black hair...
Among the Twisklanders, there were two tribes that did not refer to themselves as such. The one came out of the far southeast and called themselves ‘Allemanna’. This name they had given themselves when they still roamed the woods as exiles without wives. [209] Later, like the Lithuanians, they had stolen wives from the slave peoples; but they had kept their name.
The other tribe that roved closer-by called themselves ‘Franks’ — not because they were free but because Frank had been the name of their first king, who, supported by degenerate maidens, had made himself hereditary king over his folk. The peoples living closest to him called themselves ‘Thioth’s Sons’ (Teutons) — that is ‘Sons of the Folk’. They had remained free people since they never accepted any king, prince, or master unless elected by general consent at an Assembly.
Askar had already learned from Reintia that the Twisklander princes were almost always in enmity and strife with one another. So he proposed that they should choose a military leader from one of his folk because, as he said, he feared they would quarrel amongst themselves for control. He further argued that his princes had the ability to speak with the Gola (in their own language) and that the mother also shared his opinion.
Then the Twisklander princes assembled and, after three times seven days and nights, they chose Alrik as military leader. Alrik was a kinsman of Askar,[2] who gave him two hundred Skots and a hundred of the strongest Saxmen as a guard contingent. The princes were required to send three times seven of [210] their sons to Staveren as a guarantee of loyalty.
Thus far, all had proceeded as hoped. But when they were about to cross the Rhine, the king of the Franks refused to submit to Alrik’s command, which resulted in chaos. Askar, assuming that all had gone according to plan, landed with his ships on the other side of the Scheldt. But the men there had long been made aware of their coming and were prepared. No sooner had his force landed but they were compelled to flee, and Askar himself was captured. The Gola did not know who they had caught, and so he was later exchanged for a high-ranking Gol that Askar’s army had taken prisoner.
Meanwhile, the Magyar were flowing over our neighboring lands more boldly than ever before. Near Egmuda, where the burg Forana had once stood, they built a temple, even larger and richer than Askar had built at Staveren.
Later, the Magyar priests said that Askar had lost the clash with the Gola because the folk, refusing to believe he could help them, were unwilling to worship Wodin. They also set about kidnapping young children, whom they kept and raised in the secrets of their depraved doctrine.
If there were people who (...)

Notes
- ↑ See ch. 19c [204/15].
- ↑ Compare Alaric I, ‘king of the Visigoths’, who would have reigned from 395-410 CE in Scaligerian chronology.
- ↑ Additional, though often diverging, information can be found in other sources, for example, the Frisian Chronicle — compiled by Andreas Cornelius (?-1589) and first published in 1597. This work contains parts attributed to Okke van Scharl (Ocko Scarlensis), who would have lived in the 10th century. It describes a prince Azinga Ascon, who was said to have lived in a castle half an hour south-east of Staveren and who died in the year 11 AD, after having fought wars against the Batavians, the Danes, and the Tungrians.
