The invaders , known as Vickings, or Danes returned again and again to attack England. At first they didn’t settle, and the English had to pay tribute. In the ninth century they conquered and settled in the extreme north and west of Scotland and also some coastal regions of Ireland. They held the English crown for 24 years. 3 Danish kings, one after another, ruled over England; one of them Canute was at the same time king of England, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.the rule of the Danish kings ended in 1035 after Canute’s death. In 1066 an invading army of the Normans won the victory at the battle of Hastings; as a result of this single battle William, Duke of Normandy was crowned king of England and became known as William the Conqqueror. Unlike the Germanic invasions, the Norman one was small-scale. For 2 hundred years the English people were at war with the Danes coming from Denmark and Norsemen invading from Scandinavia.
