 Britannia: Narrative History of Viking York
The Vikings quickly transformed Jorvik, as they called the city, into the capital of their Kingdom of York, which occupied an area roughly equal to the three Ridings of Yorkshire (England's largest county), though it later spread into Lancashire and Westmorland.
It remained so even after the Viking kingdom was absorbed into England in AD 954 and also later, after the Normans invaded England in 1066 and made York their main administrative and judicial centre in northern England.
The growing power of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex in the south eventually overcame the Kingdom of York and it was re-absorbed into the rest of England after the last King, the outlandishly named Erik Bloodaxe, was defeated and killed in AD 954.
