Today is the 1178th anniversary of the Siege of Paris. | So if we give you thousands of pounds of silver and maybe some gold, you'll leave us alone, right? Vikings: Behold our fleet of 120 ships! Charles the Bald, King of the Franks; So if we give you thousands of pounds of silver and maybe some gold, you'll leave us alone, right? 1178 years ago today, Danish Vikings laid seige to Paris. Although paid thousands of pounds of silver (and maybe some gold) to leave, they pillaged various sites including the Abbey of Saint Bertin as they left. More Vikings would return perhaps 6 years later. | image tagged in anakin padme 4 panel,history,history memes,vikings,raiders | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
