Is Pier Gerlofs Donia a cult figure?
Yes, Pier Gerlofs Donia (c. 1480 - 1520) may be considered a cult figure. A cult figure is someone who elicits admiration and inspires a devoted following. The person in question may or may not be part of a religious cult. Regarding Donia, that certainly was not the case. Instead, Donia's followers throughout history, and including the present day, see him as the symbol of the ordinary person who takes up arms against injustice and actually succeeds.Specifically, a foreign force under George, Duke of Saxony (27 August 1471 - 17 April 1539), camped about 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) away from Donia's property in Kimswerd, a Frisian language-speaking village in the Netherlands. The regiment in question was known for brutal treatment of local populations. On January 29, 1515, the regiment indeed entered Donia's home village, destroyed his property, and raped and killed his wife, Rintsje Syrtsema. Donia responded with a very successful rampage against Hollanders, the English and the Burgundians. For four years, Donia's enemies feared for their property and their lives, on land and sea.Just as suddenly as he started so did Donia quickly end his successful series of lightning raids. In fact, he died safe and revered in his own bed about one year after he ended his career as one of Europe's most wanted pirates.
When was the Arumer Black Heap or Arumer Zwarte Hoop disband?
The Arumer Black Heap was founded in 1515 by Pier Gerlofs Donia (aka Grutte Pier). It was a band of warriors, brothers in arms, all of Frisian nationality and ancestry. They fought for the freedom of their country, with such fierce and fire, that they soon became legendary, together with their giant commander Grutte Pier. After his death, Pier's nephew, Wijerd (Wierd or Wijard) took over the command of Pier's forces. Under Wijard, the Arumer Black Heap lost almost all it's esteem and honour's. Soon, Wijard died after an accident with the longsword of his giant uncle (which was obviously to big for him to handle), and died. That way, just days after Pier's death, the Heap was disbanded.

When the Iranian Shahnameh hero Rostam would have fought in a dual against Frisian freedom fighter Pier Gerlofs Donia who would have probably won?
Rostam and Pier lived in different times, different cultures and among different people; there is now way they couldm have met each other. If they did, it would have been one hell of a sight! You should not forget, however; Rostam was a hero, and Donia was just a man driven insane by the killing of his intire family. A man who fights demons and wizards in ancient times, shouldn't have much problems defeating a slow brute. So the fight would likely go something like this:Rostam walks towards his enemy, who is an awfully large brute, and takes his sword without even the slightest fear or regret. Before Donia can even grab his 2,15 meter sword, Rostam stands in front of him, stabbing him in the upper leg or abdomen with his own. By then, Donia would have wielded the gigantic sword, but due the pain of the wound inflicted, his strike likely misses his opponent. Than, Rostam cuts the enormous hand of Donia, and the giant drops his sword. After this, Rostam would have stabbed the giant in the chest, finishing him of. That's my opinion.
