Summary "Kening Aldgillis: Epy ske forbylding for great toaniel yri fiif utkomsten" by Kalma is a dramatic work likely written in the early 20th century. The play centers around the themes of love, duty, and the struggle between old beliefs and new faith as it explores characters associated with the Frisian kingdom, including the titular King Aldgillis, his son Radbod, and other key figures such as Princess Ydwine. The opening of the play introduces us to the setting and characters through poetic dialogue. We meet Thied, the mother of Radbod, discussing her discomfort with the changes brought by Christianity, expressing concern for her son’s future and the fate of Fryslân. Radbod shares his admiration for Princess Rixt and his ambition to protect their kingdom, but learns of obstacles that include his love's Christian roots, complicating his feelings and plans. As the first act unfolds, a sense of impending conflict between traditional pagan beliefs and the emerging influence of Christianity is established, setting the stage for deeper exploration of faith and identity within the narrative.
