Wife carrying originated in the United Kingdom over twelve centuries ago; on June 8, 793AD, Viking raiders rampaged into Lindisfarne on the northeast coast of what is now England, destroying the monastery and reportedly carrying off the local women. Such wife carrying continued intermittently for around 300 years.
