On all sides, like fearfull wolves, they robbed, tore and slaughtered, not only the and oxen, but also the monks and priest. When they came to the church of Lindisfarne they dug up the altars and siezed all the holy tresaures. They killed many of the monks and took other away in chains. Some they drowned in the sea."
