Ocko II. Tom Brok
Ocko II. Tom Brok (* 1407 ; † 1435 in Norden (East Friesland) ) was after the early death of his father Keno II. Tom Brok , son of Ockos I tom Brok from 1417 to 1427 chief of Brokmer - and the Auricherland in East Friesland ( initially under the tutelage of his grandmother Foelke).
Ocko II. Tom Brok is the last East Frisian chief of the tom Brok family . Under his rule there was a revolt of the other Frisian chiefs against the tom Brok. A conflict with his ally Focko Ukena in 1424 led to open war in 1426. Ocko, married to Ingeborg von Oldenburg, and thus supported by the counts, called them for help. They sent an army of knights, which was defeated by Focko Ukena and his peasant army on September 27, 1426 in the Battle of Detern . A year later, on October 28, 1427, Ocko II was finally defeated in the Battle of the Wild Fields and was taken prisoner. He was taken to Leer and was imprisoned for four years. In 1435 he died powerless as the last of his family in the north .
