After the Siege of Asselt forced him to come to terms , Godfrid was granted the Kennemerland , which had formerly been ruled by Rorik of Dorestad , as a vassal of Charles , according to the " Annales Fuldenses " . Godfrid swore oaths to Charles promising never to again lay waste his kingdom and accepted Christianity and baptism , at which Charles stood as his godfather . In return , Charles appointed him Duke of Frisia and gave him Gisela , daughter of Lothair II , as his wife . However , Godfrid did nothing against a Danish raid which pillaged large parts of the Low Countries . In 885 , he was summoned to Lobith for a meeting after being accused of complicity with Hugh , Duke of Alsace , in an insurrection .
