The Viking History of York (2018x9)

Date de diffusion: Mar 02, 2018

The city of York in the north of England was home to a seat of Scandinavian rule built off the back of viking raids and the initial conquest of the Danelaw by the brothers Halfdan with the Wide Embrace, Ivar the Boneless and Ubba the Duke of the Frisians with the Great Heathen Army. From then on until the middle of the 11th century it served as a focal point for Norse activity in Britain, often being connected to the Hiberno-Norse kingdoms in Ireland like Dublin, and being a key city to the likes of Olaf Guthfrithsson, Eric Bloodaxe and Harald Hardrada before being fully absorbed into Norman England for good after the 1080's. It never lost it's Scandinavian heritage however, as can be seen on the city's streetnames, the local dialects and of course the rich treasure trove of archaeological discoveries found at the Coppergate dig which can still be seen in Jorvik Museum today.
