::I think Lindisfarne is the wrong startpoint, the true stratpoint is the establishment of Aldeigjuborg/Staraya Ladoga and the Volga trade route to present northern Iran. Lindisfarne come later and is a smaller private enterprise risk project that starts a series of risk projects in Great Britain, by showing good results and lower risks than feared. The reason Lindisfarne is taking place is that there were most likly a choking situation in silver supply in Visby (the Russian plans). Lindisfarne can't be a startingpoint of the Vikings topic for anyone else but for a British history writers. I think the article should start with explaining in short words the silver trade backbone of the Viking culture and Lindisfarne could start a chapter over Vikings in Britain. Lindisfarne is a result of Visby that is the result of Aldeigjuborg/Staraya Ladoga and the Volga trade route and they all form the Vikings topic. Think about describing The East India Company starting as some evil English people beating up and robbing Indians in Dehli? You woulden't, because it starts in Calcutta and Bombay and is almost all about business and trade at the beginning?
