The Vikings' siege of Paris in 885-86 was a turning point in the history of both Paris and France. In 885, a year after Charles the Fat was crowned King of the Franks, Danish Vikings sailed up the Seine demanding tribute. The Franks' refusal prompted the Vikings to lay siege to Paris, which was initially defended by only 200 men under Odo, Count of Paris, and seemingly in a poor state to defend against the Viking warriors in their fleet of hundreds of longships.

Paris was centred around the medieval Île de la Cite, the natural island now in the heart of the city, fortified with bridges and towers. The Vikings attempted to break the Parisian defenders, but the city itself still held out, and after a year Charles' army arrived to lift the siege. But Charles then allowed the Vikings to sail upstream against the revolting Burgundians. Outraged at this betrayal, the Parisians refused to let the Vikings return home via the Seine, forcing them to portage their boats overland to the Marne in order to reach the North Sea. When Charles died in 888, the people of the of the Île de France elected Odo as their king. The resistance of Paris therefore marked the end of the Carolingian line and the birth of a new kingdom.

This fully illustrated volume, accompanied with maps and strategic diagrams tells the full story of the Vikings' expedition to conquer medieval Paris, highlighting a key moment in the history of France and its foundation as a nation.

This is the only miss from Naked Sundays so far :(
I normally love naked Sundays. It’s my go to for face sunscreen especially. I’m not sure if I got a defective stick or something. It’s not expired or anything but I used it on a vacation and I got extremely burnt even with reapplying often. I just figured it was fluke thing maybe because it was winter and I was paler than normal. But we went on another vacation last week and my preteen daughter used it on her face and she ended up with a sunburn and rash. She’s never had a sunburn before as she has an olive skin tone. She ended up having to use an antihistamine medication for how bad her skin hurt and cool cloths. Like I said, I LOVE their other products so I’m wondering if I got a defective batch or something.

Works on dark hair, too and lasts for multiple dyes.
I got this because my nephew wanted to have red hair for a day. It works really well. Its super vibrant, even if you have darker colored hair, which is surprising. A little goes a long way, so you can dye your hair several times with just one bottle. It washes out very easily. One wash and its out. Also, it came out of a pillowcase pretty well when he played his head down on the pillow. You have to wait till it ia dry to touch it, or it does your hands a little, but it still does not stain skin.

Happy Halloween 2025
The dye is very pigmented which is a plus I just wished the instructions where more clear on how to apply the dye to your hair. I just regret applying the dye first to my hair and then fixing my hair up. When I passed the hair brush to fix my hair some paint came off. So I had to reapply the dye. Luckily I have a little bit of hair so I was able to have extra dye on the can. So if you're reading this. I recommend fixing up your hair first, pass the brush do what you got to do first. And then once you have your hair the way you want it. Spray the hair dye into your hair. It much easier and your hair doesn't get tangled. But other than that the hair dye was a good purchase for me because the value of it and the pigmentation it came with.
