Lindisfarne was attacked in 793. This is the site of an early Celtic church.

Norman conquest - by william the bastard, descended from Rolf who was ceded territory in what became normandy in (iirc) the late 9th or early 10th century. By the time of the invasion the normans might be better characterized as a french-speaking ethnic group (presumably with some amount of mixing with locals) of norman descent.
