Throughout the Viking Age, there were many battles between the Vikings
and the English. In the 9th century, the English king Alfred the Great
stopped the Vikings taking over all of England. In the 10th century the
English reconquered
much of the land held by Vikings. In 954, they drove out Eric Bloodaxe,
the last Viking king of Jorvik. After Eric was killed in battle, the
Vikings in England agreed to be ruled by England's king.
