A moment of silence for Lindisfarne
I'll have to defer to your brachycephalicness on this but, weren't there signs of aggression from christiandom against the Norse prior to viking attacks on churches and monasteries? I seen to recall there being evidence of these being reprisals, especially with the peaceful interactions with the Picts.
I mean, Christendom was aggressive towards the Norse since even before the Viking Age, I wouldn't say this is some unprovoked form of aggression against the innocent Christians. Just that those monasteries and churches are a really soft underbelly with great ROI for an enterprising raider.
