A 'Call for Papers' for an Early Medieval Frisian-focused panel (or panels) set for IMC 2026. The text reads; Spread across the southern North Sea, the Frisians were the unsung middlemen of the Early Middle Ages: a people whose travels knew no borders, whose trade raised masses of cash, and whose dabbles in piracy drew quite a lot of unwanted attention. They were pivotal to the spread of currency and goods across northern Europe between the fifth and eighth centuries. Despite their multifaceted status, and some recent publications, the Frisians still remain understudied in comparison to their better-known cousins in England, France, and Scandinavia. Even separating these peoples from one another is tricky, as ‘Frisian’ may not be the most reliable descriptor it first appears. These questions, and others, continue to frame this area of study to this day and continue to push conversations forward. In an effort to showcase the breadth and depth of Frisian study, this session seeks papers from any scholar with an interest in the early medieval North Sea (350 - 800 CE). We would be delighted to receive proposals across the fields of archaeology, linguistics, runic studies, numismatics, folkloric studies, and textual and poetic analysis. After all, the ‘Frisians’, whoever they were, can only be caught and analysed via inter-disciplinary pincers. These papers will be framed as a wholesale holistic overview of Early Medieval Frisia, from its people, to its networks, to its place in the pre-Christian cosmos. In-keeping with this year’s IMC strand of Temporalities, we are especially encouraging papers which dabble in new approaches to the passage of time and the reading of poetic or heroic histories. Interested? Great! We’d love to hear from you via an abstract of 150 - 250 words, emailed to: historywithhilbert@gmail.com and alexharvv@gmail.com before the 15th of August 2025.
