biographical
and/or anecdotal:
"The number of ships increases., the endless flood of Vikings
never ceases to grow bigger. Everywhere Christ's people are the victims of massacre,
burning, plunder. The Vikings over-run all that lie before them. They seze Bordeaux,
Perigeaux, Limoges, Angouleme, Toulouse; Agers, Tours and Orleans are made deserts.
Ships past counting voyage up the Seine. Rouen is laid waste, looted and burnt: Paris,
Beauvais, Meaux are taken, Melun's stronghold is razed to the ground, Chartres occupied
Evreux, and Bayeux looted and every town invested.." (from the writings of Ermentarius
of Noirmoutier 860).From this welter of harassment and destruction we pick one name-
Bjorn Ironside, son of Lothrocus king of Dacia (Denmark) otherwise known as Ragnar
Lodbrok. History of the Vikings, Gwyn Jones.
