| Viking ship 11th century |
Southern England was raided by a Danish fleet.
Ireland
The Irish high king Brian Boru established a fleet composed of vikings from Dublin, Waterford, Wexford and Munster to "levy royal tribute" (plunder) in Wales.
The revenue from this raid was to be split in 3 parts, with a third going to the King of Dublin, another third going to the warriors of Leinster and Munster, and the rest to professors of sciences and arts and the needy. This may have been a tactic Brian Boru used to avoid civil war.
