The Viking Raid That Slaughtered 68 Monks | Iona Abbey Massacre (806 AD)

In 806 AD, Viking raiders attacked Iona Abbey — one of the holiest Christian monasteries in medieval Britain — and massacred 68 monks in one of the most terrifying raids of the Viking Age.

Founded in 563 AD by Saint Columba, Iona Abbey was a center of religion, learning, and manuscript preservation during the Dark Ages. But its wealth and isolation made it a perfect target for Viking raiders sailing from Scandinavia.

This short documentary explores the real history behind the Viking raids on Iona in 795, 802, and the deadly massacre of 806 AD recorded in the medieval Annals of Ulster.
