The third paragraph (dccxciii) describes the first Viking raid on Lindisfarne, Northumberland, and the omens that preceded itIn present day English: 'Here were dreadful forewarnings come over the land of Northumbria, and woefully terrified the people: these were amazing sheets of lightning and whirlwinds, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky. A great famine soon followed these signs, and shortly after in the same year, on the sixth day before the ides of January, the woeful inroads of heathen men destroyed god's church in Lindisfarne island by fierce robbery and slaughter. And Sicga died on the eighth day before the calends of March'. Cotton Tiberius B. IV f.26v

Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, D-text 11th-century copy, probably made in Worcester. Language: Latn Anglo-Norman Source/Shelfmark: Cotton Tiberius B. IV f.26v This national chronicle, or annual record of events, was originally compiled around 890 during the reign of King Alfred the Great. It was the first attempt to give a systematic year-by-year account of English history, and it was later maintained, and added to, by generations of anonymous scribes until the middle of the 1100s.
