I. In their ninth-century settlement of northern and eastern England, the Vikings drew on their long-developing experience in trade and urban life. They were not necessarily the merciless pirates of legend and contemporary chroniclers' reports. In two particular locations--York and Lincoln--the Vikings took over towns that had prospered under Roman control and languished under the Anglians; under Viking influence, these towns once again became prosperous and active trading communities with extensive international contacts. Recent archeological discoveries in both towns provide the most striking evidence to support this contention, but this information is complemented by an examination of evidence of trade in the Viking Age generally. More than anything else, the Vikings were quintessential traders and political opportunists.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a I. In their ninth-century settlement of northern and eastern England, the Vikings drew on their long-developing experience in trade and urban life. They were not necessarily the merciless pirates of legend and contemporary chroniclers' reports. In two particular locations--York and Lincoln--the Vikings took over towns that had prospered under Roman control and languished under the Anglians; under Viking influence, these towns once again became prosperous and active trading communities with extensive international contacts. Recent archeological discoveries in both towns provide the most striking evidence to support this contention, but this information is complemented by an examination of evidence of trade in the Viking Age generally. More than anything else, the Vikings were quintessential traders and political opportunists.
520 $a II. A late reflex of this early activity occurred in the nineteenth century when the Victorians actively sought out Scandinavian culture. This interest began in the late eighteenth century with Thomas Gray and others, and has roots in general medievalism, going back to the Scots Chaucerians and Spenser. The great translators of the early years of the nineteenth century, working within this context, did much to present this material to the public. Benefitting from these advances, and one of the most fascinating figures of the second half of the century, was William Morris, who, with Eir(')ikr Magnusson, translated scores of Icelandic sagas. The manuscript of his last translation, The Story of King Magnus, Son of Erling, from the Heimskringla, demonstrates that Morris was an extremely conscientious translator, always mindful of his source. He was not the dilettante some critics have implied.
520 $a These two centuries are two chapters of the same story. In the first, the Vikings imposed their control on the Anglo-Saxons in northern and eastern England, with beneficial results. In the second, the direction was reversed, the Victorians seeking out Scandinavian culture; once again, the results were culturally beneficial. At both ends of a millennium, the Vikings had conquered England.
