Books, Manuscripts
For those living outside Scandinavia, the Viking Age effectively began in 793 with an attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne, a characteristically violent harbinger of what was in store for Britain and much of Europe for the next 300 years. This is Robert Ferguson's account of those tumultuous days.
