Unless it had cash value. Olaf the White and Ivar the Boneless had a 
profitable business going in the slave markets of Dubh Linh. 

Bede isn't the most trustworthy but his story is Pope Gregory saw young 
Angles in the Roman slave market and when told what they were said 'They 
are not Angles, they're Angels' and sent Augustine to convert the heathen.

It was probably better to wind up in the Roman slave market than a Moslem 
one.
