'Saint Cuthbert was born in Britain about the year 635, and became a monk in his youth at the monastery of Melrose by the River Tweed. After many years of struggle as a true priest of Christ, in the service both of his own brethren and of the neglected Christians of isolated country villages, he became a solitary on Farne Island in 676. After eight years as a hermit, he was constrained to leave his quiet to become Bishop of Lindisfarne, in which office he served for almost two years. He returned to his hermitage two months before he reposed in peace in 687. 'Because of the miracles he wrought both during his life and at his tomb after death, he is called the "Wonderworker of Britain." The whole English people honoured him, and kings were both benefactors to his shrine and suppliants of his prayers. Eleven years after his death, his holy relics were revealed to be incorrupt; when his body was translated from Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral in August of 1104, his body was still found to be untouched by decay, giving off "an odour of the sweetest fragrancy," and "from the flexibility of its joints representing a person asleep rather than dead." Finally, when the most impious Henry VIII desecrated his shrine, opening it to despoil it of its valuables, his body was again found incorrupt, and was buried in 1542. It is believed that after this the holy relics of Saint Cuthbert were hidden to preserve them from further desecration.' (Great Horologion)

With special guest Longinus, Pigweed and Crowhill drink Senate beer, then discuss the impact and popularity of Vikings. What drove the Vikings to set sail on their legendary raids? In this video, we explore the forces that pushed the Norse to leave their homelands in search of wealth, land, and glory. We begin with the infamous 793 AD raid on Lindisfarne, a brutal attack that shocked medieval Europe and marked the beginning of the Viking Age. Then, we dive into the fascinating possibility that Vikings reached North America centuries before Columbus, settling in Newfoundland at L'Anse aux Meadows. Finally, we examine how Viking history, mythology, and warrior culture continue to shape modern popular culture—from TV shows and video games to heavy metal and sports teams.Join us as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the real story of the Vikings!

As we head into a new year with a few changes coming our way as a church it's important to face the change mindful of what hasn't changed. The vision and mission God has called His people to.
Los vikingos, esos guerreros nórdicos de aspecto desaliñado y formas rudas recorriendo las costas europeas de saqueo en saqueo, han cautivado la imaginación popular durante siglos. Pero la imagen estereotipada del vikingo con casco con cuernos y hacha en mano, sediento de sangre y botín, es una simplificación contemporánea. Los vikingos, originarios de Escandinavia, fueron algo más que saqueadores: se dedicaron a la exploración y al comercio, colonizaron las islas del Atlantico norte y muchos de ellos se terminaron fundiendo con las poblaciones de otras zonas de Europa construyendo señoríos propios como el de Normandía o el de Sicilia. Su sociedad original estaba organizada en torno a una estructura jerárquica de caudillos, nobles, hombres libres y esclavos que profesaban un religión politeísta, con deidades que muy conocidas en nuestra época como Odín o Thor. Impulsados por una combinación de factores, como la superpoblación en Escandinavia, la búsqueda de nuevas tierras y riquezas, y las luchas de poder internas, los vikingos se lanzaron a la mar en sus versátiles embarcaciones, los drakkars, capaces de navegar tanto por ríos como por mar abierto. Esa expansión empezó en el año 793 cuando un grupo de guerreros del norte saqueó el monasterio de Lindisfarne en la costa norte de Inglaterra. Ese fue el comienzo de lo que se conoce como época de los vikingos, un periodo que duró unos tres siglos y que llevaría a este pueblo del extremo norte hasta el imperio bizantino por el este y Norteamérica por el oeste. Los vikingos se apoderaron de las islas Británicas, desde allí, se aventuraron por el gélido océano ártico y recalaron en Islandia, Groenlandia e incluso llegaron a las costas de América del Norte 500 años antes que Cristóbal Colón. Llegaron incluso a fundar un efímero asentamiento en L’Anse aux Meadows, en la isla de Terranova, a la que llamaron Vinlandia. Hacia el este, los vikingos recorrieron los ríos de las actuales Rusia y Ucrania como el Volga, el Dniéper o el Don trazando rutas comerciales que les condujeron hasta el Mar Negro. Entraron en contacto con Bizancio y el mundo árabe. Su presencia en estas regiones dio origen a la denominación "varegos" dejando de paso las primeras huellas en la formación de los primeros estados eslavos. Hacia el sur, los vikingos asolaron las costas de Francia, Portugal y España, luego se internaron en el Mediterráneo. En el norte de Francia llegaron a asentarse dando lugar al ducado de Normandía, cuyos señores terminarían conquistando Inglaterra a mediados del siglo XI. Los vikingos eran un pueblo tan versátil como sus barcos. Combinaban el saqueo, la conquista y el comercio. Como saqueadores eran implacables y se ganaron merecida fama de bárbaros entre los pueblos del sur del continente, pero como comerciantes demostraron ser muy habilidosos. Eran tratantes de esclavos y llevaban productos del norte muy demandados como la madera, el ámbar o las pieles para intercambiarlos por otros llegados del Mediterráneo y la ruta de la seda. Para ello se valían de sus barcos, extraordinariamente rápidos y maniobrables. El impulso vikingo se fue apagando con el tiempo. A finales del siglo XI el cristianismo ya había llegado a Escandinavia, lo que permitió que aquella tierra se integrase dentro de la cristiandad europea adoptando con ello su cultura y estilo de vida. Durante siglos no se volvió a hablar de ellos hasta que durante el romanticismo fueron recuperados y comenzó su estudio en serio por parte de los historiadores.

He and his brother Chad (Mar. 2) were from an English family, educated under Saint Aidan (Aug. 31) of Lindisfarne. Both brothers entered monastic life at Lindisfarne and later became bishops. Cedd travelled as an evangelist among the people of Essex, where Saint Finan (Feb. 17) consecrated him to be their first bishop. He founded two monasteries in Essex, one of whose churches still stands; he built yet another monastery at Lastingham in Yorkshire, where he lived until his repose. He spoke both Irish and Anglo-Saxon, and served as a translator for the Irish at the Synod of Whitby in 664. He reposed at Lastingham not long after the Synod.

Vikingarna har blivit kända för sitt kompromisslösa sätt att gå i strid. Med tunga bredyxor, svärd, spjut och sköldar formade de ett tungt infanteri som kunde motstå vilken motståndare som helst.Till sin hjälp hade de sina lätta båtar vilka gjorde dem snabba och mobila längs med kusterna. Genom snabba strandhugg kunde de dyka upp där fienden minst anade och ställa till med besvär. Räderna gick längs med England, Frankrike och Tyskland. Till en början var det tal om rent sjöröveri, men snart övergick även de nordiska folken till att genomföra regelrätta erövringståg.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden benar Peter Bennesved och Martin Hårdstedt i Vikingens märkliga historia.Vikingarna fortsätter att fascinera. Trots att det som vi idag kallar för vikingatiden inte sträcker sig längre än knappa 300 år (ca 750-1050) har deras historia fångat människors intresse sedan 1600-talet. Och det är kanske lite av problemet med vikingatiden. Hur man än gör så blir bilden av vikingen hela tiden färgad av den samtid som gör anspråk på att veta sanningen.Under 1800-talets blev vikingen till symbolen för skandinavisk maskulinitet, idag är bilden av vikingen betydligt mer heterogen. Var de mer handelsresande, tidiga demokrater och kosmopoliter? Vad är rätt?Det finns också goda skäl till att vara källkritisk. Vikingatiden sägs ofta starta med räden mot Lindisfarne år 793. Det var ett av Englands absolut viktigaste kristna centrum, och räden fick en av medeltidens viktigaste intellektuella Alkuin av York att reagera starkt. I ett Europa där kristendomen fortfarande kämpade mot urgamla och lokala religiösa kulter blev de hedniska nordmännens invasion av de brittiska öarna extra känsligt. Det blev viktigt att framhäva vikingens oborstade brutalitet för att på så sätt vinna fördelar för den expanderande kristendomen. Vår bild av vikingen är fortfarande idag färgad av detta förhållande.Militärhistoriskt kan man dock säga att deras ställning och religiösa uppfattning spelade mindre roll. Oavsett vad de trodde på, eller hur brutala och ociviliserade de än må vara så har de blivit kända för sitt kompromisslösa sätt att gå i strid. Med tunga bredyxor, svärd, spjut och sköldar formade de ett tungt infanteri som kunde motstå vilken motståndare som helst. Till sin hjälp hade de också sina lätta båtar vilka gjorde de snabba och mobila längs med kusterna.Genom snabba strandhugg kunde de dyka upp där fienden minst anade och ställa till med besvär. Räderna gick längs med England, Frankrike och Tyskland. Till en början var det tal om rent sjöröveri, men snart övergick även de nordiska folken till att genomföra regelrätta erövringståg. Man kan fråga sig, vad krävdes egentligen för att vikingarnas erövringslust skulle kväsas mot slutet av vikingatiden?Detta är en repris.Bild omslag: Rook, Lewis schackman.

Als er am 26.10.899 stirbt, hat er die Wikinger bezwungen und Britannien geeint. Kein anderer Brite wird "der Große" genannt. Dabei sollte Alfred gar nicht König werden. Von Wolfgang Meyer.
Lindisfarne, auch bekannt als Holy Island (Heilige Insel), ist eine Gezeiteninsel an der Nordostküste Englands. Sie ist durch eine schmale Straße mit dem Festland verbunden. Zweimal am Tag bedeckt das Meer diesen Damm. Schilder warnen die Besucher vor der Gefahr, die Straße bei Flut zu befahren. Manchmal ignorieren Touristen die Warnungen und sitzen dann auf den Dächern ihrer überfluteten Autos oder schwimmen zu erhöht liegenden Sicherheitshütten, wo sie gerettet werden können. Die Flut ist vorhersehbar, so sicher wie die aufgehende Sonne. Und die Warnungen sind überall, man kann sie unmöglich übersehen. Doch wie ein Schriftsteller mal beschrieb, ist Lindisfarne ein Ort, „an dem die Leichtsinnigen versuchen, das Wettrennen mit der Flut zu gewinnen“.
Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, is a tidal island in England connected to the mainland by a narrow road. Twice a day, the sea covers the causeway. Signs alert visitors to the dangers of crossing during high tide. Yet, tourists regularly disregard the warnings and often end up sitting atop submerged cars or swimming to raised safety huts where they can be rescued. The tide is predictable, as sure as the rising sun. And warnings are everywhere; you can’t possibly miss them. Yet, as one writer described, Lindisfarne is “where the reckless try to outrace the tide.” Proverbs tells us that it’s foolish to be “reckless and careless” (14:16 esv). A reckless person has little regard for wisdom or wise counsel and doesn’t practice attentiveness or diligent care for others (vv. 7–8). Wisdom, however, slows us down to listen and ponder so that we’re not carried away by rash emotions or half-baked ideas (v. 6). Wisdom teaches us to ask good questions and consider the implications of our actions. While a reckless person charges forward with little regard for relationships or consequences—or often truth—a “prudent [person] gives thought to his steps” (v. 15). While we’ll sometimes need to act decisively or swiftly, we can resist recklessness. As we receive and practice God’s wisdom, He’ll give us the guidance we need when we need it.

The episode was recorded on the breathtaking Holy Island of Lindisfarne, United Kingdom, where the Vikings first invaded the UK, an island you can only drive to in low tide. It was a great experience to visit, but it had a poor internet connection, so unfortunately, the audio quality of this episode is a little inadequate.
Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, lies some 11.5 miles to the south east of Berwick-upon-Tweed, just off the coast of Northumberland. Only accessible at low tide, the island still possesses a mystical air, no doubt from its time as a Christian pilgrimage site. Probably most famous as the production centre of the Lindisfarne Gospels, or the island that gave the folk-rock band Lindisfarne their name, the island was also the centre of the Cult of St Cuthbert in the Middle Ages. But what folklore or legends has the island accrued over the years? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Saturday of the 21st Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Aidan of Lindisfarne; born in Ireland, may have studied under St. Senan before becoming a monk at Iona; became bishop of Lindisfarne and was known for his knowledge of the Bible, his learning, his eloquent preaching, his holiness, his distaste for pomp, his kindness to the poor, and the miracles attributed to him; founded a monastery at Lindisfarne which became a center of learning and missionary activity for all of northern England; died in 651 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/31/24 Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30
Op een steenworp afstand van ons hotel ligt Lindisfarne, beter bekend als 'Holy Island'. Een schiereiland waar in de 7e eeuw na Christus de monnik Aidan aankwam en een klooster stichtte. Een rijk historische plek waar veel over te vertellen valt, maar het is nou eenmaal de Vogelspotcast dus is de enige relevante vraag; kan er gevogeld worden? Het antwoord is "ja, dat kan". Sterker nog, door een combinatie van ligging, wilde begroeiing en het feit dat het maar een handje vol bewoners telt is Holy Island een befaamde plek voor het ontdekken van zeldzame dwaalgasten.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Saga of the Earls of Orkney, as told in the 13th Century by an unknown Icelander. This was the story of arguably the most important, strategically, of all the islands in the British Viking world, when the Earls controlled Shetland, Orkney and Caithness from which they could raid the Irish and British coasts, from Dublin round to Lindisfarne. The Saga combines myth with history, bringing to life the places on those islands where Vikings met, drank, made treaties, told stories, became saints, plotted and fought.With Judith Jesch Professor of Viking Studies at the University of NottinghamJane Harrison Archaeologist and Research Associate at Oxford and Newcastle UniversitiesAnd Alex Woolf Senior Lecturer in History at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Theodore M.

review To celebrate forty years of wandering through time and space in style, the Sixth Doctor and some of his best friends are about to find themselves in the adventure of his lives... 1. The Exaltation by Jacqueline Rayner Hints of a temporal anomaly bring the Doctor and Mel to Arunopal on the day King Otho steps down as ruler. But Otho has a dilemma - which of his five sons should succeed to the throne? He has a deadly game in mind to solve the problem - and the target is a certain Time Lord... 2. Escape from Holy Island by Chris Chapman The history books tell us that on the 8th of June, 793 AD, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne was burnt to the ground by Viking raiders. But history also records that "fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky" - can that be true? With time running out, the Doctor, Peri and a young HG Wells mobilise the island's monks as the real raiders of Lindisfarne thunder over the North Sea - and they don't look like Vikings... 3. Sibling Rivalry by Robert Valentine The Doctor, Constance and Flip are stuck on an alien planet in the middle of a civil war. To make matters worse, the Sontarans have invaded. To make matters worse still, two of the dastardly quins - the volatile Clarent and the odious Dellan - are both on the scene... and the Doctor may not survive their furious competition. 4. Children of the Revolution by Robert Valentine With their plans causing havoc, wicked quins Clarent and Dellan are at loggerheads. But as the schemes of Sontaran Battle Marshal Skurr reach their climax, the only thing more dangerous than the brothers' competing against each other... is the brothers joining forces. 5. The Thousand Year Thaw by Chris Chapman Once every thousand years, the frozen planet of Zycros thaws, revealing the most fertile soil in the universe. For a brief window, Zycros becomes the farming capital of the cosmos, and that brings with it many visitors - including a small blue box and its two occupants, keen to stretch their legs. But as the ice melts and the temperature rises, the Doctor and Peri realise that this pleasant stroll may be the last one they ever take together... 6. The Firstborn by Jacqueline Rayner The Quins have succeeded in their quest - a little too well. Multiple Doctors congregate on Arunopal, bringing with them a terrible threat to reality... This release comes with a bonus audiobook: The Ultimate Poe by Andrew Collins. **Please note: the Collectors' Edition CDs are strictly limited to a pressing of just 1,500 copies**

Today we will be talking about the viking raid on Lindisfarne, as well as the history leading up to the raid. Lindisfarne was a small island off of the Northeastern coast of England, which at the time was considered to be part of the kingdom of the Northumbrian king, Oswald. The island became home to Lindisfarne Priory which was founded by St. Aiden at the request of King Oswald, which why the island is now also known as the Holy Island.

Det är den 8 juni år 793 och munkarna på den lilla ön Lindisfarne på Englands östkust tror att denna dag ska bli som alla andra dagar: timme efter timme fyllda av bön, missionsarbete och att kopiera de heliga skrifterna för hand.Men det är ingen vanlig dag. Många av de bröder som vaknar upp i klostret kommer inte att leva när solen går ned. För den 8 juni år 793 är dagen då vikingatiden börjar. Allt motstånd mejades ner, som man kan läsa om i den engelska historiekrönikan Historia Regum:”Och de kom till kyrkan på Lindisfarne och ödelade allting med jämmerlig plundring, trampade ner de heliga platserna med orena steg, grävde upp altarna och tog alla den heliga kyrkans skatter. De dödade en del av bröderna, tog med sig andra i kedjor, många fördrev de, nakna och överlastade med kränkningar, några dränkte de i havet...”Varför uppstod vikingen, vad gjorde han och vart tog han egentligen vägen?Historia Nu Dok är podden som går på djupet i historien. Detta är första delen av Historia Nu Dok – Vikingen i världen, som görs i samarbete med förlaget Historiska Media. Programledaren är Kristina Ekero Eriksson, journalist och arkeolog som har skrivit böcker om vikingatiden och tiden före vikingatiden. I den här dokumentärserien i fyra delar undersöker hon tillsammans med journalisten Urban Lindstedt, vad som tog åt nordborna i slutet av 700-talet. Tillsammans med experter tar vi reda på historien om vikingar i dagens Ryssland och Ukraina, våldsamma begravningsritualer, Odenkrigare och människooffer – men också om vikingatida pilgrimer, läkeörter och arrangerade äktenskap.Det var som att nordborna blivit galna, för det slutade inte här. Åren som följer attackerades flera andra kloster på de brittiska öarna. På den skotska ön Iona dödade vikingarna 68 munkar på stranden och deras kloster brändes ner. Som man kan läsa i en nedteckning: ”De åstadkom att det som tidigare varit så rikt nu var som ingenting”. England kom att attackeras i flera vågor, från år 865 invaderades landet av den stora hedniska armén, vikingafamiljer som rest dit i stora flottor och som så småningom bosatte sig i det som kom att kallas Danelagen – det området där dansk lag gällde. Drygt två hundra år efter anfallet på Lindiafarne satt den danske vikingen Sven Tveskägg på Englands tron.Det mäktiga Frankerriket, en stormakt som ungefär motsvarade dagens Frankrike och Tyskland, skonades inte heller. Några år efter Lindisfarne 793 började Frankerrikets kuster att attackeras och det intensifierades på 830-talet. Den åtråvärda handelsstaden Dorestad, i dagens Nederländerna, plundrades av vikingarna varje år mellan 834 och 837.Historia Nu Dok – Vikingen i världen, som görs i samarbete med förlaget Historiska Media.Medverkade gjorde Andreas Hennius.Programledare: Kristina Ekero ErikssonRedaktör: Aron SchuurmanProducent: Urban LindstedtLjuddesign och slutmix: Emanuel Lehtonen Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

In medieval times, Britain was criss-crossed by pilgrim routes, that took in such world-famous sites as Canterbury and Lindisfarne as well as out-of-the-way locations along paths not so widely travelled. But why did people undergo pilgrimage? What were its benefits? And why did some send people in their honour?In this episode of Gone Medieval, first released in September 2021, Matt Lewis is joined by architectural historian Dr. Emma Wells as they discuss the practice that some might consider the beginning of tourism.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

'Saint Cuthbert was born in Britain about the year 635, and became a monk in his youth at the monastery of Melrose by the River Tweed. After many years of struggle as a true priest of Christ, in the service both of his own brethren and of the neglected Christians of isolated country villages, he became a solitary on Farne Island in 676. After eight years as a hermit, he was constrained to leave his quiet to become Bishop of Lindisfarne, in which office he served for almost two years. He returned to his hermitage two months before he reposed in peace in 687. 'Because of the miracles he wrought both during his life and at his tomb after death, he is called the "Wonderworker of Britain." The whole English people honoured him, and kings were both benefactors to his shrine and suppliants of his prayers. Eleven years after his death, his holy relics were revealed to be incorrupt; when his body was translated from Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral in August of 1104, his body was still found to be untouched by decay, giving off "an odour of the sweetest fragrancy," and "from the flexibility of its joints representing a person asleep rather than dead." Finally, when the most impious Henry VIII desecrated his shrine, opening it to despoil it of its valuables, his body was again found incorrupt, and was buried in 1542. It is believed that after this the holy relics of Saint Cuthbert were hidden to preserve them from further desecration.' (Great Horologion)

He and his brother Chad (Mar. 2) were from an English family, educated under Saint Aidan (Aug. 31) of Lindisfarne. Both brothers entered monastic life at Lindisfarne and later became bishops. Cedd travelled as an evangelist among the people of Essex, where Saint Finan (Feb. 17) consecrated him to be their first bishop. He founded two monasteries in Essex, one of whose churches still stands; he built yet another monastery at Lastingham in Yorkshire, where he lived until his repose. He spoke both Irish and Anglo-Saxon, and served as a translator for the Irish at the Synod of Whitby in 664. He reposed at Lastingham not long after the Synod.

How did humans, a species that evolved to be cooperative and egalitarian, develop societies of enforced inequality? Why did our ancestors create patriarchal power and warfare? Did it have to be this way? These are some of the key questions that Dr. Nancy Lindisfarne and Dr. Jonathan Neale grapple with in Why Men? A Human History of Violence and Inequality (Hurst, 2023). Elites have always called hierarchy and violence unavoidable facts of human nature. Evolution, they claim, has caused men to fight, and people—starting with men and women—to have separate, unequal roles. But that is bad science. Why Men? tells a smarter story of humanity, from early behaviours to contemporary cultures. From bonobo sex and prehistoric childcare to human sacrifice, Joan of Arc, Darwinism and Abu Ghraib, this fascinating, fun and important book reveals that humans adapted to live equally, yet the earliest class societies suppressed this with invented ideas of difference. Ever since, these distortions have caused female, queer and minority suffering. But our deeply human instincts towards equality have endured. This book is not about what men and women are or do. It's about the privileges humans claim, how they rationalise them, and how we unpick those ideas about our roots. It will change how you see injustice, violence and even yourself. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
