The reasons for the long sea voyages of the Normans.

The reason for the campaigns of the Normans was the desire to get rich booty from the plundered cities. Thus, during the Middle Ages, the Normans constantly carried out their predatory raids on the coastal cities of western and central Europe. We can say that the northerners terrified the local population. Basically, the Normans attacked suddenly and also quickly left, which made it impossible for the regular troops to quickly gather and drive away the robbers.
