So now we know that the Vikings did come bearing something other than a nasty attitude. They came carrying amber, and fur and walrus ivory. But somehow, though, this vision of the Vikings as rapidtransit, longdistance commercial travellers, singing their sagas as they sail to a new market opening. I don' t think it would have cut much ice with the priests here at the cathedral of BradwellonSea, just a crab scuttle away from the area where I grew up as a child on the Essex shore. There' d been a church here, BradwellonSea for over 200 years. It' d originally been built on the remains of an old Roman fort. And I can' t help thinking that the priests would have found those stone defenses reassuring as they waited nervously for the Viking raids that they knew could strike hard and fierce at any moment. |
