The chronicle opens only in 1204 with the founding of Emo's Premonstratensian house in the Groningen Ommelanden, so it has nothing for 1200 itself. It is listed because it is the only narrative from inside the free Frisian lands for the generation after 1200: the Frisian districts, their dealings with the bishop of Utrecht and the counts of Holland, floods and feuds.
