The Viking Siege of Paris — And the Count Who Refused to Surrender

Описание: Paris was on the edge of destruction.

In 885 AD, a massive Viking fleet sailed up the Seine and surrounded the city. The king was absent. The empire was weakening. And on a small island in the river, Count Odo of Paris made a decision that would change French history forever.

This cinematic historical story takes you inside the Viking Siege of Paris, where fortified bridges, desperate defenders, and eleven brutal months of war stood between survival and collapse. You will see how Odo held the line, why the siege mattered, how Charles the Fat failed the city, and how one act of defiance helped shape the future of France.

This is not just the story of a siege. It is the story of the man who stood on the bridges when the king would not.
