The Bishopric of Utrecht was, in the 11th century, the strongest of the feudal states in the northern section of Lorraine. Like other ecclesiastical foundations, Utrecht, or rather the churches and convents of the old Trecht, had rich possessions early. Charles Martel gave to Willibrord's Monastery of St. Saviour the towns of Trecht[a] and Vechten [nl][b] with that all belonged to them, in other words, the land, water, farms, and inhabitants; four years later, he presented to Willibrord and his successors the villa of Elst in the Betuwe region. Earlier, Pepin of Heristal, to fund the propagation of Christianity, had given to the monks tithes of the royal lands and serfs, tolls and commercial contracts in Friesland, a donation that was confirmed by Charles Martel, Carloman, and Pepin the Short. The possessions of the Utrecht church were at first extended in its own vicinity. Charlemagne presented to St. Martin's, in 777, the villa of Leusden, on the Ems, with the neighbouring wilderness, freedom from taxation for merchants settling or temporarily staying there, and an island in the Lek, besides the church of Dorestad.[1]: 90 


Jurjen Bos wrote, in Handbuch des Friesischen, that during the second half of the 7th century the "old Roman fort" of Utrecht and "trading station" of Dorestad were "the focus of the Frisian economy". He characterized Dorestad as a flourishing "Frisian-Frankish settlement" with allegiances vacillating between Frisian and Austrasian.[2]: 491 Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
