he sort of trouble the Vikings brought upon the people of France almost every year during the latter half of the ninth century. They grew bolder with every attack, and finally no longer confined themselves to the towns on the coast but went far inland, where they pillaged villages and towns and carried away rich treasures from churches and monasteries. Often they settled down for the season on an island near the coast, setting out from it for their raids and escaping back to it with their load of plunder. It is small wonder that the old chroniclers who lived at the time that these horrors occurred, and who must often have beheld the burning villages and monasteries, the ruined crops and desolate people the Vikings left in their wake—it is small wonder that they thought of them only as a terrible enemy, merciless and unconquerable, afraid of nothing on sea or land, a power incapable of good and productive of untold evil.About the Author:Author and historian Alice Minerva Atkinson was one of the first two women to earn a Master of Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania (1893).
