  • Summary

  • The Vikings shot onto the international scene when they ransacked, burned, looted and slaughtered their way through the peaceful monastic community on the island of Lindisfarne in 793 AD.

    But it wasn't an isolated incident.

    It began the so-called Viking Age and 300 years of bitter warfare between Anglo-Saxon and Viking for control of the fertile land of England.

    For 60 years after Lindisfarne the Vikings contented themselves with raiding and terrorising the coastal communities and riverways of Anglo-Saxon England, but by 865 their thoughts had turned to invasion. The Sea Wolves were coming to stay.
