Scandinavian York
Scandinavian York (Jórvík) or Viking York (Old Norse: Jórvík) is a term used by historians for a region similar to current Yorkshire during the period of Scandinavian domination after the Viking invasion in 865 (interlaced with brief periods of Anglo-Saxon control as battles would breakout) until it was annexed and integrated into England after the Norman Conquest in 1066; in particular, it is used to refer to York, the city controlled by this ebb and flow of Viking and Anglo-Saxon kings and earls, including the period when Viking King Cnut ruled all of England, part of his North Sea Empire, until his death in 1035. The Kingdom of Jórvík was closely associated with the longer-lived Kingdom of Dublin throughout this period.
