29. Prayer against Viking Raids ~ Charles the Bald c.870
"Pity the highest favor by preserving and guarding our bodies, free us from the savage Norman tribe who devastates our realms. They aged and young would have their throats slit, and maidens and lads too, and the multitudes also. Repel the evil from us, we altogether implore [thee]. Bring thee the ruling realm, we plead on our knees, to the king of glory, who pity us with true peace, soundness, hopes and strength. Give us peace and harmony. Bestow us unmitigated hope, genuine faith also; concede us continual charity and let completed be. Sanctify our prayers that we be availed in achieving this, that we be rejoiced in glorious measure. Praise be peace and glory, to the Trinity who is wholly most-magnificent for the people. Amen.
