It is no surprise to me
3
00:00:56,349 --> 00:00:58,685
that these Northmen
have arrived in Wessex.
4
00:00:58,852 --> 00:01:00,687
After I heard
about their raids
into Northumbria,
5
00:01:00,812 --> 00:01:02,731
I realized it was only
a matter of time
6
00:01:02,814 --> 00:01:04,816
before they came ashore here.
7
00:01:09,154 --> 00:01:11,740
When I lived at the court
of the Emperor Charlemagne,
8
00:01:11,823 --> 00:01:14,576
of long and blessed memory,
9
00:01:16,035 --> 00:01:18,913
these Northmen had already
emerged from their lairs
10
00:01:18,997 --> 00:01:20,415
to attack parts of his empire.
11
00:01:20,498 --> 00:01:23,918
And I remember an incident
from this period very well.
12
00:01:24,002 --> 00:01:26,296
I was with Charlemagne's party
13
00:01:26,546 --> 00:01:29,215
at a harbor town
in southern Gaul.
14
00:01:29,299 --> 00:01:31,760
As we sat eating supper,
15
00:01:31,843 --> 00:01:34,471
a fleet of pirates
attacked the harbor.
16
00:01:34,888 --> 00:01:38,099
There was some confusion
about their identity,
17
00:01:38,183 --> 00:01:41,311
but from the build
of their ships and their
speed through the water,
18
00:01:41,394 --> 00:01:44,856
the Emperor recognized them
at once as Northmen.
19
00:01:46,816 --> 00:01:48,818
After a lightning attack...
20
00:01:49,611 --> 00:01:50,862
(EXHALES)
21
00:01:52,989 --> 00:01:54,532
They made their escape.
22
00:01:54,616 --> 00:02:00,205
The Emperor's men
took up the chase,
but they were soon out-sailed.
23
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:05,668
Charlemagne rose
from the table and stood
at the window, facing east.
24
00:02:05,752 --> 00:02:08,880
I remember it as clearly
as if it were yesterday.
25
00:02:11,633 --> 00:02:13,676
For a long time, he stood
26
00:02:15,804 --> 00:02:18,389
while the tears
poured down his face.
27
00:02:20,058 --> 00:02:24,771
In the end, he said,
"Do you know why
I weep so bitterly?
28
00:02:25,063 --> 00:02:28,983
"It's not because
I'm afraid these ruffians

36

to work with our ealdormen

41

In the meantime,
we shall send spies and others
42

to observe the size
of the raiding party
and their intentions.
43
00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:22,579
These Northmen
never like to venture
far from their ships,
44
00:03:22,662 --> 00:03:25,957
and they prefer not to be
drawn into pitched battle.
45
