略论北欧海盗的对外劫掠活动

On the Robbery by Pirates in Northern Europe

9-11世纪,北欧社会出现了以海盗大规模对外抢掠为主要方式的社会运动,海盗们从北欧出发,分三个方向四处抢劫和肆意杀人,给各地带来了极大的破坏。海盗们的活动既为北欧国家带来了巨额的财富,也造成了人员的极大伤亡。持续200多年的海盗对外掠夺催生了北欧封建国家的诞生,并伴随着北欧社会的基督教化运动而逐渐衰落。

From the 9^th to the 11th century, robbery at sea by pirates in northern Europe had been committed on such a large scale that it had become one of the typical social activities. Serious damages and numerous life losses had been brought, in three directions, to a large area starting from northern Europe. More than 200 years of such robbery had also brought great wealth that had helped the birth of northern European feudalism countries, but the popularity of Christianity Movement had brought an end gradually to such black robbery deeds.
