From Chronicle - Medieval History
In 793 AD, the holy island of Lindisfarne was subjected to one of the most infamous Viking raids on Britain. Heathen men plundered the sacred monastery in an event that shook Christian Europe. Dan Snow travels across the tidal causeway to Lindisfarne to discover the rich culture of this holy place before the Vikings raided - a beautiful site of pilgrimage and artistry. He also goes to Jarrow to discover more about the powerful Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria and its great religious and historical writers such as St Bede the Venerable.
