The Vikings in England

In my previous post, I discussed the differences between English and American English and the influence England has had on American language and culture. 

The development of the English language itself has been influenced by a range of different cultures. Even today, we can see how the Roman (AD 43) and Norman (1066) invasions changed our language, customs, and culture.  Another major influence was the arrival of the Vikings.

I live in the county of Yorkshire. York is Yorkshire’s capital city.  It was also the Viking capital of England and was known as Jorvic.  Incidentally, New York (America) is named after York (England).  Coincidently, the Vikings probably first visited North America over 1,000 years ago – some 500 years
