Inquiry Question #4

Which countries did the Vikings invade?

This is a brief timeline explaining the major events of the Vikings. There were many other raids throughout England at the time, however what made the Vikings raids so notable was their success, which was largely achieved because of their ships. 
The first Vikings raid was in the year 793 on the great monastery of Lindisfarne. 
The image on the right is of a grave marker that records the attack, which was found in Lindisfarne.
