Описание: The Siege of Paris in 845 AD changed everything.

Most people know Ragnar Lothbrok from the TV series "Vikings." But the REAL story is even more fascinating - and it's backed by historical records.

📜 THE HISTORICAL FACTS:
• March 28, 845 AD - Easter Sunday
• 120+ Viking longships entered the Seine River
• 5,000 Norse warriors led by Ragnar Lothbrok
• King Charles the Bald divided his army (fatal mistake)
• 7,000 pounds of silver paid as ransom
• Paris was spared... but Europe was changed forever

🎯 WHY THIS MATTERS:
This wasn't just another Viking raid. It was the moment that showed Christian kingdoms could be BOUGHT. For the next 150+ years, Vikings would return again and again, demanding "Danegeld" - tribute payments to make them leave.

One decision by King Charles the Bald created a terrible precedent that would haunt European kingdoms for generations.
