June 8th, 795 CE. The monastery on Iona has stood for two centuries as a beacon of Christian learning. The nuns believe their sacred walls make them untouchable. When dragon-headed longships appear on the horizon carrying berserker warriors, they discover there is something far worse than demise—the systematic erasure of identity itself.
This cinematic documentary explores the darkest chapter of Viking raids on Ireland: the brutal desecration of monastery nuns by berserker warriors and their subsequent enslavement across the Norse world. Through historical chronicles, archaeological evidence, and modern DNA studies, we uncover a story deliberately buried in euphemism and silence.
⚔️ What This Documentary Reveals:
The first Viking raid on Iona monastery in 795 CE
Who the berserkers were and why they targeted sacred sites
What happened to nuns during monastery raids (content warning: discussed with historical sensitivity)
How captured Irish women were enslaved and scattered across Viking territories
The genetic evidence proving Iceland was founded on captured Celtic women
Why chroniclers struggled to record these atrocities
How Vikings used s*xual v*olence as psychological warfare
The lasting trauma on Irish monastic culture
Why some fates were considered worse than demise
How we remember victims who were deliberately erased from history
🧬 GENETIC REVELATION: Modern DNA studies show Iceland's founding population was 60% Scandinavian male and 80% Celtic female—proving that the women who built Iceland were captured, not volunteers. Their names are lost. Their DNA remains.
