During this period of time England was divided between Danish and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
The Kingdom of York was a Norse kingdom with various Norse and newly created Danish settlements with the capital in the Roman ruins of Jorvik.
The Five Boroughs of the Danelaw were the five main towns of Danish Mercia. These were Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham and Stamford, where each borough was control by a local Jarl.
The Danish Kingdom of East Anglia was a small independent kingdom of the Angles that was conquered and settled by Danes, the capital was Dunwich.
The Kingdom of Mercia, who’s capital was the city of Tamworth eventually merged with Wessex to invade the Danish kingdoms and purge Danes from the land under the St. Brice’s Day massacre and other political decrees to kill and remove Norsemen and Danes from England
Based and Five Boroughs Pilled
England should vote to leave the UK and join up with their Scandinavian brothers! /s
So who owned London?
Lmao sex
Still waiting for the return of uthred son of uthred…
Nottingham Forest FC, we’re by FAR the greatest team, you’ll eeeeeever see
Torksey and Repton: Am I a joke to you?
It’s weird to see what are now tiny villages marked as major settlements. At our local farmers market we have Eddisbury fruit farm, who sell apples and cider. Eddisbury (the village itself) today consists of about 5 houses and the fruit farm.
Tamworth is best known today for having a breed of pig named after it. Specifically the two Tamworth pigs who captured the publics hearts by escaping and going on the run for about a week in 1998.
