(See APA Presentation/Referencing Template on Lea.) For example: The Early Middle Ages were a period of great instability within Western Europe. These troubled times were in part due to foreign invasions led by the Vikings, whose "raids were driven by the desire for profit through plunder" (Coffin & Stacey, 2009, p. 199). Viking attacks were responsible for the destruction of much of the accomplishments of Charlemagne's renaissance (Coffin & Stacey, 2009, pp. 212-13). At the end of the paper, a complete reference should be provided. For example: Reference Coffin, J. G., & Stacey, R. C. (2009). Western Civilizations. Norton.
