The First Viking War was a war fought between Francia and the 'Viking nations', i.e. the Danes and the Swedes. It was a highly destructive war for both parties, resulting in the devastation of many cities along the Rhine in Francia and the destruction of much of the Palace of Aachen. The Danes fared no better; Jutland was taken by the Franks and the Danes were devastated. The war, however, is seen as a wake-up call for the Franks and is considered the reason for the strengthening of the Frankish navy.

abstract
| - The First Viking War was a war fought between Francia and the 'Viking nations', i.e. the Danes and the Swedes. It was a highly destructive war for both parties, resulting in the devastation of many cities along the Rhine in Francia and the destruction of much of the Palace of Aachen. The Danes fared no better; Jutland was taken by the Franks and the Danes were devastated. The war, however, is seen as a wake-up call for the Franks and is considered the reason for the strengthening of the Frankish navy. The repercussions lasted for decades on both sides. The Danes inhabited Zealand and other Danish islands. It is also seen as a turning point in the history of Frankish politics in that Atticus I bypassed the normal traditions of the kingdom being split among heirs once the king died.
