("In this year fierce, foreboding omens came over the land of the 
Northumbrians, and the wretched people shook;
there were excessive whirlwinds, lightning, and fiery dragons were seen 
flying in the sky.
These signs were followed by great famine,
and a little after those, that same year on 6th ides of January,
the ravaging of wretched heathen men destroyed God's church at 
Lindisfarne [by plunder and slaughter].")

Crystal reminds us that these Danish terrorists later settled down in 
large areas of northern and eastern England (the Danelaw), and that 
their language eventually had a profound influence on Anglo-Saxon and 
thus on modern English, contributing many basic lexical items and even 
some grammatical morphology. A recent book even claimed that English 
should be reclassified as North Germanic:

though very few specialists agreed.
