To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1004. This year came Sweyne with his fleet to Norwich, plundering and burning the whole town.”
—Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, Entry for Year 1004 * NORWICH 1004 A.D.
Hastings and his horse raced through a hundred miles of wetlands and heath to find their destination obscured in a haze of smoke.
Overnight, the Vikings had reduced Norwich—the seat of the East Anglian government and one of Engla-lond’s greatest cities—to ash and rubble. Families stood next to the remainders of their homes, watching as th...e unquenchable flames consumed the last beams. People burned their fingers digging through embers for scraps and precious belongings. The injured sat in the ash-ridden streets, moaning helplessly as their wounds festered. Hastings was not sure whether the water gathering in his eyes was a result of his own sympathy or the burning smoke that the breeze threw against him.
Even the high reeve’s hall, on a small hill in the middle of the city, had not escaped the Viking attack. The east wall had been severely damaged, so that the whole building seemed to be leaning, ready to collapse.
