Today is the 1178th anniversary of the Siege of Paris.

Today is the 1178th anniversary of the Siege of Paris. | 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? Vikings: Behold our fleet of 120 ships! 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 for the better right mori calliope kiara hololive english,history,history memes,vikings,raiders,historical meme | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
