But the monastery was short-lived; Viking raiders destroyed it it in 870...

"Once the pagan-turned-Christian princess (615-668) became an abbess, she established the monastery at Coldingham, a village in the southeast of Scotland. But the monastery was short-lived; Viking raiders destroyed it it in 870." 200 years isn't a bad run. Our nation isn't much older than that.

Fascinating. My wife is a medievalist, so she’ll find this really interesting.
