It has been abundantly shown that English did not catch institutions Vikings like a sort social measles, but common-sense alone suggests three hundred war with little more than one generation's respite must have had consequences. Such far too large for single paper. What I sought do, therefore, take campaign, culminating in famous battle Maldon, which occurred at moment intense crisis and try set this campaign context relevant political military problems day, most what say relates much-dismissed, studied, well-evidenced, reign Æthelred II.
