York
The city of York was founded by the Romans in 71 AD. York is a walled city, situated
at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England in the
centre of the Vale of York and half way between the capitals of London and Edinburgh.
Jorvik
An army of Danish Vikings (Great Heathen Army), invaded Northumbrian territory in
886 AD. The Danes conquered and assumed what is now modern day York and renamed
it Jorvik, making it the capital city of a new Danish kingdom.
The Danes went on to conquer an even larger area of England which afterwards became
known as the Danelaw; but whereas most of the Danelaw was still English land, albeit
in submission to Viking overlords, it was in the Kingdom of Jorvik that the only
truly Viking territory on mainland Britain was ever established. The Kingdom prospered,
taking advantage of the vast trading empire of the Viking nations, and established
commercial ties with the British Isles, North-West Europe, the Mediterranean and
the Middle East.
