JórvÃk
The Kingdom of Jorvik Jorvik with the capital (later York) was a territory of the Norsemen in the North of England. The kings controlled in addition to their actual area (primarily Northumbria ) times the area around Dublin, the Isle of Man and the Five Boroughs of Mercia. Conversely, were the kings of Dublin on the throne, the kings of Wessex annexed the territory in which they downgraded the title to that of the Earl of York.
History
Jorvik was the capital of a small but thriving kingdom, which was incorporated into the Danelaw. As Guthrum against East Anglia took the field, Halfdan Ragnarsson was left as king. Under the reign of Halfdan Jorvik was considered a Danish kingdom, in the episode but it was left to the Norwegians, who also had to fight for it. The Danes took over for the Kingdom of East Anglia. The Five Boroughs were a kind of buffer zone between the two kingdoms. North of England remained under Norwegian influence until Harald III. (Norway ) fell in the battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066.
The place where the palace of the Kings was built between nordmanni is known as Konungsgårthr and is now known as Kings Square. The Kingdom of Jorvik 954 went on in England, but without that this detracted from its economic success. Around the first turn of the millennium only lived in London and more people in the British Isles. It was only under William the Conqueror Jorvik lost its independence.
