[erilaR 01] • Stranger from Another Land

erilaR

On the 8th day of June, in the year 793 AD, a band of heathen Northmen from Scandinavia attacked the priory on the island of Lindisfarne in the north-east of Britain.

Who were these warriors really and where lay their origins? Were they Scandinavian farmers who one day decided to cast away their ploughs and take up the sword? Not likely.

These men, the painters of the runes, referred to themselves as ‘erilaR’.
