This week in history stretches across more than a millennium, from the shores of a holy island in Northumbria to the corridors of the United States Supreme Court. On 8 June 793, Norse raiders struck the monastery at Lindisfarne, shocking the Christian world and launching the Viking Age in the British Isles. On the same date in 1311, the citizens of Siena paraded Duccio's Maestà through their streets — a masterpiece that bridged Byzantine tradition and the Renaissance. In 1928, Australian aviator Charles Kingsford Smith completed the first trans-Pacific flight, landing in Brisbane after 83 hours aloft in the Southern Cross. On 10 June 1935, a quiet act of mutual support in Akron, Ohio gave birth to Alcoholics Anonymous — a movement now spanning 180 countries. Louis XVI was crowned at Reims in 1775, the last king ever to receive that honour. In 1817, Karl von Drais demonstrated his two-wheeled Laufmaschine — the direct ancestor of every bicycle on earth. The 1963 release of Cleopatra brought Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Hollywood's most expensive production to cinema screens. And on 12 June 1967, the Supreme Court's unanimous Loving v. Virginia decision struck down interracial marriage bans, cementing one of the great civil rights landmarks in American legal history. Eight events. Eight centuries. One week. Pull up a chair.
