Cross of the Dutchman is an action adventure game based on the true story of the folk legend 'Pier Gerlofs Donia'. The story takes place in medieval Western Europe, in the province of Frisia, near the turn of the 16th century. Though Pier and his family lived in peace, the world around them was changing for the worse. Saxxon legions were invading nearby villages, making the lives of the native people next to impossible. On one faithful day, Pier got involved with the Saxxon oppressors, escalating the situation for the worse. The events portrayed in this great adventure caused Pier to gather a band of farmers and form a front against the oppressors. The acts that followed made Pier into the legend he is known for, the Cross of the Dutchman.

Fryslân Boppe! Mei Grutte Pier. Haha, geweldig dit!
This game looks pretty badass. Looking forward to playing it!
i've got some info on grutte pier:
Large Pier, Pier Gerlofs Donia (Grutte Pier, in the spelling for Fries: 1980 Greate Pier), (Kimswerd, ca. 1480-Sneek, 28 October 1520) was a Frisian warlord, freedom fighter and folk hero. Pier enjoys the reputation of a legendary Warrior and an important historical figure in the history of Friesland and is therefore listed in the Canon of Friesland. In various sources be him a huge stature and attributed a superhuman strength. Pier and his nephew Wijerd Jelckama were the commanders of the rebel army the Arumer Black Heap (Gelderse Friezen) at the Second siege of Medemblik in 1517.
