Welcome to PugJesus' history meme blog
Someday, there will only be the remains of my work as cities of posters rise up to surpass me, and then I can finally fucking rest ๐
It's a pretty great place to be
It's been two hours and I don't see a PugJesus explaination post. This has me worried. Have they been "saved" by Vikings?
Ha, afraid I don't have much to add on this one! The Norse were prolific raiders who plundered numerous coastal locations in Europe during the Viking Age, especially monasteries, which had the appealing combination of "filled with dweebs who can't put up much of a fight" and "overflowing with wealth".
Here they are simply rescuing innocent wealth from a sudden and unexpected fire in one of these coastal monasteries, so brave and heroic ๐ญ๐
If I remember correctly, this was basically the first attack that signaled the beginning of the Viking invasion of Britain
There had been Viking attacks in England for at least 4 years by that point, though Lindisfarne was the most brazen until then.
