The military was not strong enough to protect Europe. 

The Vikings were a formidable force, and the English (in the example given) were not organized or managed well enough to withstand such invasions.  An English scholar, Alcuin, who became a key figure in Charlemagne's court, even went so far as to say that the Vikings were a manifestation of God's wrath against the immorality of the European people.

The answer would be the military was not strong enough to protect Europe.
