O
ff the southern coast
of England, in the year
789 A.D., three Viking
longships glided to shore. According
to British records the Reeve of
Dorchester went out to meet the
ships. Chaos ensued and the reeve
was killed. Four years later, Viking
ships docked at the monastery on
Lindisfarne, an island off the northeast
coast of Northumbria. The
Norsemen came ashore and, by
British accounts, plundered the monastery,
snatching sacred objects and
killing some of the monks.
Thus began the Viking Age.
