Quentovic

Quentovic was a Frankish trading port near the mouth of the river Canche, close to modern Étaples in northern France, active from the seventh to the ninth century. With Dorestad it was one of the main emporia linking the Frankish lands with England, and it had a royal toll station and mint. Vikings sacked it in 842, and it declined and disappeared by the late tenth century.
