When Frisian sea raiders led by King Radbod force a blockade on King Aguar, a truce is called and each King's son is given to the other as a hostage for four months. King Radbod uses his son as a spy and Valiant is forced to escape back to Thule. There he leads a sea battle against the Frisian warships.
