Document Summary

Welding together a nation : alfred the great and the emergence of england. [outcomes for england compared to francia are quite opposite] In fight spread in all directions killing animals, priests, nuns. Was resting place of st. cuthbert(clergy would see this is big deal) Important because founded by columba; heart of celtic mediterranean. In 802 church burned down, most monks flee to kells. Built stone church in kells because they lost the church at iona. But lost it again (monks killed; about half monks @ monastery) Francia did not have full scale invasion; england did. Paid danegeld to vikings, but then they would attack them anyway. Since they weren"t fellow scandinavians prolly thought could get away with it. Aebba cuts off her nose and upper lip and all sisters do the same. When they show up, heathens burn it down; nuns die. They can"t fight this army, but they can still resist; keep virtues.
