[00:00:02]A quiet monastery on a lonely island hears the sound of oars. Within hours, Europe's nightmare begins.

[00:00:10]The monastery of Lindisfarne was a jewel of the Christian world. Its monks copied sacred texts, its relics drew pilgrims, and its island cliffs seemed untouchable.

[00:00:25]Vikings stormed ashore, axes flashing, shields [music] raised.

[00:00:29]The monks had no walls, no warriors, no defense.

[00:00:33]To them, these raiders seemed [music] less like men and more like demons out of the sea.

[00:00:39]They were slaughtered, enslaved, or forced to flee.
