Viking raiders kill the Archbishop of Canterbury
Aelfheah, or Alphege, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had been seized when Danish raiders sacked Canterbury in 1011. He refused to let his people pay a huge ransom for him. On 19 April 1012, at the Danish camp at Greenwich, drunken captors beat him to death. He was soon honoured as a martyr, and Greenwich’s parish church still bears his name.
