A few years later, there is another entry, even more ominous, this time for AD
793.
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Petersborough MS)
The Vikings attack on the holy island of Lindisfarne off the northern coast of
Northumbria is the earliest recorded and the best known of the Viking raids in
the west. There was situated the monastery of St. Cuthbert, one of the most
sacred places of pilgrimage in Britain, and it was there that the Lindisfarne
gospels had been copied and illuminated. For more than one hundred and fifty
years, Lindisfarne had been a sanctuary of learning and a repository for riches
bequeathed by both the pious and the wicked for the repose of their souls. In
its chapels and on its altars were golden crucifixes and crosiers, silver pyxes
and ciboria, ivory reliquaries, tapestries, and illuminated manuscripts.
All were plundered.
