Best Answer

He was a very big man, as stated in many tales about him. Frisian people are known for their tallness in whole the world, and since he carried a 2,15 meter sword, this is evidence of him being a man of unusual stature indeed. Also, his helmet is kept in the city of Sneek, Frisia, and also indicates his enormous size. The size of his armour and relatives still living as of 1900 give indication for his height to have been at around 7 ft tall. His shoulders must have been enormously broad when looking at his cuirass; this put's his weight at approxamitely 430 lbs.

Is Pier Gerlofs Donia a cult figure?

Yes, Pier Gerlofs Donia (c. 1480 - 1520) may be considered a cult figure. A cult figure is someone who elicits admiration and inspires a devoted following. The person in question may or may not be part of a religious cult. Regarding Donia, that certainly was not the case. Instead, Donia's followers throughout history, and including the present day, see him as the symbol of the ordinary person who takes up arms against injustice and actually succeeds.Specifically, a foreign force under George, Duke of Saxony (27 August 1471 - 17 April 1539), camped about 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) away from Donia's property in Kimswerd, a Frisian language-speaking village in the Netherlands. The regiment in question was known for brutal treatment of local populations. On January 29, 1515, the regiment indeed entered Donia's home village, destroyed his property, and raped and killed his wife, Rintsje Syrtsema. Donia responded with a very successful rampage against Hollanders, the English and the Burgundians. For four years, Donia's enemies feared for their property and their lives, on land and sea.Just as suddenly as he started so did Donia quickly end his successful series of lightning raids. In fact, he died safe and revered in his own bed about one year after he ended his career as one of Europe's most wanted pirates.


When was the Arumer Black Heap or Arumer Zwarte Hoop disband?

The Arumer Black Heap was founded in 1515 by Pier Gerlofs Donia (aka Grutte Pier). It was a band of warriors, brothers in arms, all of Frisian nationality and ancestry. They fought for the freedom of their country, with such fierce and fire, that they soon became legendary, together with their giant commander Grutte Pier. After his death, Pier's nephew, Wijerd (Wierd or Wijard) took over the command of Pier's forces. Under Wijard, the Arumer Black Heap lost almost all it's esteem and honour's. Soon, Wijard died after an accident with the longsword of his giant uncle (which was obviously to big for him to handle), and died. That way, just days after Pier's death, the Heap was disbanded.

When the Iranian Shahnameh hero Rostam would have fought in a dual against Frisian freedom fighter Pier Gerlofs Donia who would have probably won?

Rostam and Pier lived in different times, different cultures and among different people; there is now way they couldm have met each other. If they did, it would have been one hell of a sight! You should not forget, however; Rostam was a hero, and Donia was just a man driven insane by the killing of his intire family. A man who fights demons and wizards in ancient times, shouldn't have much problems defeating a slow brute. So the fight would likely go something like this:Rostam walks towards his enemy, who is an awfully large brute, and takes his sword without even the slightest fear or regret. Before Donia can even grab his 2,15 meter sword, Rostam stands in front of him, stabbing him in the upper leg or abdomen with his own. By then, Donia would have wielded the gigantic sword, but due the pain of the wound inflicted, his strike likely misses his opponent. Than, Rostam cuts the enormous hand of Donia, and the giant drops his sword. After this, Rostam would have stabbed the giant in the chest, finishing him of. That's my opinion.

How did Pirates treat their women?

It depends. Most pirates must have treated them badly, though, for this was common for the time they lived in. The Frisian pirate and freedom fighter Pier Gerlofs Donia, however, formed an exaption to this. He treated his wife amd children good and loved them with all his heart, until his entire family was killed and his wife got raped and killed afterwards by mercenaries; he then broke out in a furious rage and became a pirate. He became one of the cruelest pirates the world have ever had to face... The fact that he was well over 7ft tall made him all the more impressive (especially for the time).


Is it better for children to grow up with both parents?

Obviously it is. They need both a father and a mother figure. To give you an example: little girls with no father might turn out well after all, but lill boy with no father will be pretty much messed up. Kids with two mums will be horribley arrogant and turned into man haters and kids with two fathers will be queers. It is very important for a kid to have both a father and a mother figure in their lives from an early age already. Otherwise they will end up messed up, as I said. Take Pier Gerlofs Donia for example: had no mother, turned into a stupid brute beheading people! see what could happen!
