51 COUNT EDZARD I. COUNT EDZARD I. AT the death of Griifin Theda, the nobility, the clergy, and the people, gladly did homage to Edzard and his brother Uko, but as Edzard was the more powerful, Uko is not often mentioned in the chronicles of the day. Edzard is described as being tall and dif^nified, keen in matters of statecraft, and very shrewd. It is important to note that at this period in East Frisia, the right of inheritance did not include the right of primo- geniture ; the reigning Count... was as a rule chosen by the three estates of the realm. At this time there was no hint of the contentions between the reigning House and the people which began later, to the great disadvantage of both Count and country. Edzard at once sought an alliance with the Butjadings, and required of them that they 55 FROM SQUIRE TO PRINCE should build a stronghold, which would be of mutual advantage. They refused, and later repented of their refusal, for Edzard compelled them to do as he wished. Edzard gained much from an alliance he made w^ith the turbulent peasants of Ditmarschen, who were noted for their bravery.
