The Chronicle records Viking raids on Lindsey (Lincolnshire) and other eastern regions in 841. These raids presaged the permanent Danish settlement that would follow the arrival of the Great Heathen Army in 865. The Lincolnshire coast and the Humber estuary were natural entry points for Scandinavian raiders. The inability of the English kingdoms to defend their coasts against such raids was a structural problem that successive kings struggled to solve.
