Question

Read this excerpt about an invasion by Vikings in England. After Easter this year the Viking army we spoke of before came to East Anglia. They landed at Ipswich and marched straight to where they had heard [the lord] was with his local forces. . . . And the East Anglians ran off at once. . . . The Danes held the battlefield. Then they got horses and afterwards took control of East Anglia and plundered and burned the countryside for four months—they even went as far as the wild fens and killed men and beasts and set fires throughout the fens, and burned down Cambridge and then turned south to the Thames River. . . .Then they turned back to their ships with their plunder. What does this excerpt reveal about the Vikings? They were raiders and they stole from people. They attacked people only when necessary. Their main goal was to find new places to settle. They were best at fighting at sea, not on land.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: this excerpt reveals that the Vickings were raiders and they stole from people

Viking raids and settlements in Britain are called the Vicking Age  and had deep consequences on their culture and language. The raids started in 793 AD, mainly on monasteries, because abbeys were wealthy and had pricy things that were easily portable.  

Vikings were Scandinavian but the term referred to whoever joined a journey expressly to raid others for personal gain. Vicking means piracy in Old Norse.

Answer 2

The excerpt reveals about the Viking's main goal was to find new places to settle. They were best at fighting at sea, not on land. Conquest, banishment, extortion, and reconquest are all part of the Viking era in Britain. Their primary accomplishment was the establishment of the independent kingdoms of England and Scotland.

Why did Vikings invade England?

Simply acquiring wealth was the most obvious reason for the Viking raids. The Scandinavians were aware of Britain's reputation as one of the world's most prosperous commercial centers thanks to their trade with the country.

Late in the eighth century, invasions by the Vikings began in England, focusing mostly on monasteries. The first monastery to be plundered took place at Lindisfarne, off the coast of the northeast, in 793; the first raid to be documented took place at Portland, Dorset, in 789; the Vikings were described as men of heathenism in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
