Welcome to Danelaw

The Viking Age in Denmark represented an eventful period of time that saw the rise of the Danish Vikings as an important military force in northwestern Europe. So it is that during the Early Middle Ages the Danish Vikings voyaged across the North Sea to Britain and established the Danelaw, a historical regional in eastern Britain where the laws of the Scandinavian settlers held sway over those of the Anglo-Saxons during the 9th century.

The Viking Age officially started in the late 8th century, specifically in the year 793, when a group of Norwegian Vikings attacked the Catholic abbey of Lindisfarne, located less than one mile off the northeastern coast of the Kingdom of Northumbria (however, a recent research suggested that it actually commenced in Ribe, Denmark approximately 70 years earlier). Since then, both the Norwegian and the Danish Vikings recurrently raided Britain in the upcoming three centuries. The Norse raided parts of Ireland, Scotland, the Orkneys, Shetlands, Hebrides, and the Isle of Man, while the Danes attacked the Anglian kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia.
