The Rhine Raids had all but crippled the Frankish Empire in the German areas. With the Frankish Navy faltering and the Frankish armies losing battle after battle, the late 840s were grim for the Franks. The Vikings relied on hit-and-run attacks to keep the Franks on the run. Cities, towns, and other settlements along the Rhine River were sacked by the Vikings. Utrecht and Cologne were among the prosperous cities that had been sacked by the Vikings.

abstract	The Rhine Raids had all but crippled the Frankish Empire in the German areas. With the Frankish Navy faltering and the Frankish armies losing battle after battle, the late 840s were grim for the Franks. The Vikings relied on hit-and-run attacks to keep the Franks on the run. Cities, towns, and other settlements along the Rhine River were sacked by the Vikings. Utrecht and Cologne were among the prosperous cities that had been sacked by the Vikings. In 849, the Vikings sent a large raiding party down the Meuse River. The Vikings were only able to take their ships so far. In the spring of 849, Maastricht was sacked by the Vikings, allowing them to easily reach both Liége and Aachen. Most of the Rhine Raids only resulted in the sacking of towns. Maastricht, on the other hand, was occupied. From here, the Vikings launched raids against several other settlements before, finally, a Danish raiding party led by Ragnar Lodbrok reached Aachen. So began the First Battle of Aachen. The battle resulted in the destruction of large swaths of the city, including much of the Palace of Aachen. The Frankish Emperor, Lothair I, was killed when the Palace of Aachen collapsed. The Vikings occupied the city for three weeks until the Franks were able to retake it.
