when did the vikings attack the monastery at lindisfarne?
789
the first recorded landing of vikings took place in 787 in dorsetshire, on the south-west coast. the first major attack in britain was in 793 at lindisfarne monastery as given by the "anglo-saxon chronicle". however, by then the vikings were almost certainly well-established in orkney and shetland, and many other non-recorded raids probably occurred before this. records do show the first viking attack on iona taking place in 794. the arrival of the vikings (in particular the danish great heathen army) upset the political and social geography of britain and ireland. in 867 northumbria fell to the danes; east anglia fell in 869. though wessex managed to contain the vikings by defeating them at ashdown in 871, a second invading army landed, leaving the saxons on a defensive footing. at much the same time, æthelred, king of wessex died and was succeeded by his younger brother alfred. alfred was immediately confronted with the task of defending wessex against the danes. he spent the first five years of his reign paying the invaders off. in 878, alfred's forces were overwhelmed at chippenham in a surprise attack.
