Scandinavian York or Viking^[a] York (Old Norse: Jórvík) is a term used by historians for what is now Yorkshire^[b] during the period of Scandinavian domination from late 9th century until it was annexed and integrated into England after the Norman Conquest; in particular, it is used to refer to York, the city controlled by these kings and earls. The Kingdom of Jórvíc was closely associated with the longer-lived Kingdom of Dublin^[c] throughout this period.
