700 pounds of silver for Paris



"Not until October 886 did King Charles the Fat, the new ruler of West Francia, send troops to end the nearly year-long siege of Paris. 

The king ultimately paid the Vikings 700 pounds of silver and granted their original request to move freely up the Seine. 

Parisians felt betrayed by their ruler."
