The Kingdom of Jórvík or Kingdom of York, is the name used by historians when they refer to the kingdom of Northumbria, as it existed in the late 9th century and first half of the 10th century, dominated by Norse warrior-kings! York was the centre of Scandinavian power and rule in the British isles. The name Jórvík is the Scandinavianisation of Eoforwic, the Old English name for the 10th century Northumbria's capital, now known as York.
