ANGLO-SAXONS UNITE AGAINST THE VIKING THREAT.

Vikings first invaded England in A.D. 789. More came in 793, when, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the "ravages of heathen men miserably destroyed God's church on Lindisfarne, with plunder and slaughter." For the next century, Danish Vikings routinely raided England.

While some rulers of England's various kingdoms met the invaders on the battlefield, others temporarily "made peace" by paying the raiders. By 870, Wessex was the only surviving Anglo-Saxon kingdom, and it refused to surrender to the Vikings. In 871, the West Saxon leader Aethelred and his ...
