according to this chronicle, what is happening at this time (842 - 846)?

Explanation:

From the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle excerpts (842 - 846), we can see that the Northmen (Vikings) are invading England. In 842, there are invasions with a great slaughter in London, Quentavic, and Rochester. In 846, they plundered the town of Dordrecht, burned it, and took immense booty (both men and goods) back to their own country. So the main event is the invasion of England by the Northmen, involving raids, slaughters, plundering, and burning of towns.
