Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints Heard that the fleet had been descried, their grim and raging troops mounted on horses, were sweeping like wolves, over moor and hill, through plain and valley, burning town and hamlet, and leaving those who had given them hospitality, murdered on their own hearths. The visitation seemed to be too frightful to resist there was no help for the miserable people in the king and his chiefs on all sides was treachery, cowardice, or hopeless imbecility and weakness; all that the great men found to do, was to plunder also, in order to bribe the Danes meanwhile, as long as they might, they feasted and revelled.
