It should be pointed out that Wulfstan wrote that during the renewed Danish invasions of the 10-11c and that the document contains a whole catalog of sins which he blames for the English defeat: disrespect for clergy, treachery in general, the sale of Christians as slaves, non-observance of fasts, etc.
