Igo Galama (876 to 910) was the legendary fifth potestaat (or elected governor) of Friesland, now a province of the Netherlands. There is no evidence that he existed. The history of Friesland says that Galama was elected in 876 as potestaat. He would have been an excellent soldier, who did everything possible for the peace and prosperity of the Frisian people. He also reinforced the seawalls and erected several facilities to inhibit the incursion of the Vikings. The old custom of coastal surveillance, which was neglected by his predecessors, was reintroduced by Galama.
