During the highly successful Rhine Raids, the tide against the Frankish Empire was turned. Byzantine ships forced the retreat of the Vikings from the Rhine River. Many ships were captured and many more were destroyed at the hands of the Byzantines due to their utilization of Greek fire. During this time, the Franks worked on holding the Danes back. When the Rhine Raids died down, the Byzantines and Franks were able to both focus on the marauding Danes. The lines were pushed back to Hammaburg Castle, a fortress constructed by Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars.

abstract
  • During the highly successful Rhine Raids, the tide against the Frankish Empire was turned. Byzantine ships forced the retreat of the Vikings from the Rhine River. Many ships were captured and many more were destroyed at the hands of the Byzantines due to their utilization of Greek fire. During this time, the Franks worked on holding the Danes back. When the Rhine Raids died down, the Byzantines and Franks were able to both focus on the marauding Danes. The lines were pushed back to Hammaburg Castle, a fortress constructed by Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars. The castle was heavily fortified against attack, forcing the Franks and Byzantines to siege the castle. Lines from Jutland were cut as the Franks surrounded the castle. The Danes were trapped in the fortress, allowing the Franks to move in at some point during the autumn months.
