๐ฉ Battle of Maldon (991) is described as "a story of guts and glory; patriot versus enemy". The aftermath of this hard fought battle was the first time that 'Danegeld' was paid to the Vikings, which marked the beginning of a new era of Viking raids in England. Bribe in exchange for peace motivated an evergrowing number of Viking raiders, which eventually led to the full conquest of England by Cnut the Great in 1016 - you can also watch that video here: https://youtu.be/HZ4-1E9ep3s
