As it's St Mildred's/St Mildrith's day today, the L7th/E8thC founder of Minster-in-Thanet, I'll bump this :) See https://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/st-mildred-of-thanet-fairest-lily-of.html …
@caitlinrgreen @JustinPollard now this is very interesting pushing back raids to Pippin the Short maybe there is smthing in Frank chronicles
@morangles @JustinPollard Absolutely---most intriguing! On balance, may be worth taking seriously, despite late date of recording!
@caitlinrgreen @JustinPollard how many were less lucky + so called enlightment era oversaw a few medieval destructions.
@morangles @JustinPollard Amazing---and frightening to wonder just how much actually has been lost!
@caitlinrgreen in the film series they did not show them wearing helmets. Were so huge that normal soldiers were no match to them
@Umarkarim89 I really ought to watch that series!
@caitlinrgreen yeah u ought to although its a bit graphic at times but worth seeing and the character of Floki the ship builder is awesome
@Umarkarim89 Hmmm..... tempted.... may have to look into finding the dvds!
@caitlinrgreen yeah if u want to watch it instantly just go to http://Putlocker.com and search for vikings and u can see it online
@caitlinrgreen your knowledge brings history alive. Nice picture.
@JudithHaseleu oh, that's v nice of you to say! :)
@caitlinrgreen @ahencyclopedia Depends on how good Angevin historiography was & what author's motivation and agenda might have been.
@caitlinrgreen @medievalhistory In written evidence may be first recorded raid on 'Britain' but Vikings in Scotland particularly Shetland?
@caitlinrgreen I was there for a bit (!)
- and anything on isle of Wight?
@caitlinrgreen well we thought so in Canterbury and then all the following raids up to St Alphege hence Danes John
