An entice group of people like the Vikings would want to invade the island of Britain because of the acquisition of wealth. "Britain was particularly well known for its lucrative trade centres, and the Scandinavians were aware of this through their own commerce with the region. Also, during the mid-9th century, Vikings seized the Codex Aureus and held it for ransom."

Answer:

Vikings raided for economic rather than political or territorial gains, and so were eager to enrich themselves through ransom money and slave trading. While naval Viking battles were not as common as battles on land, they did occur.

hope this helps!:)
