Lars BrownworthAmerican historian, author of The Sea Wolves and The Normans, and creator of the 12 Byzantine Rulers podcast
Brownworth argues Lindisfarne is a fitting start date for the Viking Age because its terror foreshadowed the following centuries.
“And I do think Lindisfarne is a good beginning date because the terror that it brought really signified what was to come for the next two to three centuries”
