What Makes a Great Old Battle Guitar?

This article explains England's first knowledge with the Vikings. How bad it should have been for poor people monks to own their peaceful, God-fearing lives turned upside down before they also recognized the thing that was happening, in a agony of demise and destruction. We can't help but compare it to 9/11, but on a much smaller scale.

The monks, cradled properly, because they believed, in the enjoy and peace of God, ended what they certainly were doing and peered curiously at these strange craft. Then they saw tough seeking men disgorging from the vessels, brute-men in send byrnies and helms, with swords and axes. They didn't end, but scaled the cliffs with an awful purpose and built straight for the poor, peace-loving monks.

Unarmed and very empty to martial methods, they went in stress, this way and that, seeking to truly save the important relics and pieces of the monastery. What opportunity had they? The Vikings were bent on an orgy of eliminating and looting.

Their swords pierced the monks' skin, while these terrible war-axes separated brains from bodies and in some instances chopped through from the throat to the middle, creating half-men of those who had once been Lord fearing individual beings.

Nothing was sacred to these savage men. They dug up altars, trampled on priceless relics, desecrated the tomb of St. Cuthbert, the founder of the monastery in 635. They put hard, uncaring on the job the wonderful Lindisfarne Gospels, published in equally Latin and Previous British, telling the stories of Matthew, Tag, Luke and John.

Several monks were killed, while others were place in chains and led to the boats as slaves. However the others were stripped nude and chased to the shore wherever several drowned, all the while suffering the crude insults of these marauders. Some lived, nevertheless, went back to the monastery, and renewed it.

The Anglo Saxon Chronicle tells people that ahead of the attack on Lindisfarne, because same year, horrible portents were seen. Immense flashes of lightening, fiery dragons traveling in the air and following these came a great famine in the land.

"Here Beorhtric  needed King Offa's child Eadburh. And in his times there came for initially 3 boats; and then a reeve rode there and desired to compel them to go to the king's city, when he did not understand what they certainly were; and they killed him. Those were the initial ships ofviking axe the Danish guys which sought out the land of the English race." Therefore wrote the Anglo Saxon Chronicle.

In later articles, we'll observe how Alfred, the only real British master to be nicknamed "The Great," struggled the Vikings to a standstill at the Challenge of Ethandun. The country was separate then, the southwestern portion being held by the Saxons. The Northeastern half, including London, held by the Danes.
