Légende
The Viking attack on Paris, 885 (1882-1884). The Vikings rowed up the Seine to attack Paris on several occasions in the 9th century, the first being in 845. The largest raid came in 885 and resulted in a siege that lasted almost a year. The city, commanded by Odo, Count of Paris, held out and in October 886 an army commanded by the King of the Franks and Roman Emperor Charles the Fat arrived and bought peace with the Vikings. A print from La France et les Français à Travers les Siècles, Volume I, F Roy editor, Saint-Antoine, 1882-1884.
