"AD. 793. This year came dreadful fore-warnings over the land of the Northumbrians, terrifying the people most woefully: these were immense sheets of light rushing through the air, and whirlwinds, and fiery dragons flying across the firmament. These tremendous tokens were soon followed by a great famine: and not long after, on the sixth day before the ides of January in the same year, the harrowing inroads of heathen men made lamentable havoc in the church of God in Holy-island, by rapine and slaughter."
Entry for the year 793 in the Anglo Saxon chronicle.
The generally accepted date for the Viking raid on Lindisfarne is in fact 8 June, so I thought these were appropriate. There are another 7 figures to finish this week and then a scenic base to work on.....
"A furore Normanorum, libera nos Domine" (From the fury of the north-men, God deliver us.)
Thanks for looking
Figures can be found here.....
