In AD 793, the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England, was famously raided by Vikings. This event marked the beginning of the Viking Age. The raid on Lindisfarne, a monastic site, was particularly shocking due to its brutality and the sacred nature of the target. The Vikings looted the monastery, killed many of its inhabitants, and desecrated religious relics. This attack is often seen as a pivotal moment that signaled the start of a series of Viking invasions across Europe.
