The Battle of Dorestad was a 7th-century battle between the

Austrasian mayor of the palace, Pepin of Herstal.^[2] Though not all the consequences of the battle are clear, Dorestad became Frankish again as did the castles of Utrecht and Fechten. It is presumed that the influence of the Franks then reached from south of the Oude Rijn

to the coast, but this is not entirely clear because the influence of the Frisians over the central river area was not entirely lost.
