Willibord: Missionary in the Netherlands, 691-739 is a detailed historical and biographical account of the life and evangelical efforts of Saint Willibrord, the Northumbrian missionary known as the Apostle to the Frisians. Written by Alexander Grieve, the work explores the pivotal period between the late 7th and early 8th centuries when Willibrord led missions to convert the Germanic tribes in the Low Countries.

The narrative follows Willibrord's journey from his education in Ireland to his arrival in the Netherlands under the protection of Pippin of Herstal. Grieve examines the challenges of establishing the Christian faith in a landscape of shifting political alliances and pagan traditions. The book highlights Willibrord's role in founding the See of Utrecht and the monastery of Echternach, emphasizing his lasting influence on the religious and cultural development of Western Europe. Willibord: Missionary in the Netherlands, 691-739 serves as a scholarly yet accessible resource for those interested in early medieval church history, the spread of Christianity, and the formative years of the Dutch and Frisian identity. It provides valuable insight into the intersection of faith, politics, and missionary zeal during the Middle Ages.
