The province of Lindsey was raided in 841, and London, a key center of Mercian commerce, was attacked the following year. Another Viking assault on London in 851 put Beorhtwulf to flight according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The Vikings were subsequently defeated by Æthelwulf. This raid may have had a significant economic impact on Mercia, as London coinage is much reduced after 851. |
