andinavian invasions the scandinavian invasions of england, though dated in the old english (oe) period, significantly impacted middle english (me). from the 8th century, vikings, initially danes and later norwegians, raided the british isles. by the end of the 9th century, the danes gained control over half of england, establishing "danelaw". while some vikings plundered and returned home, many settled permanently in north east england. in the early years of danish occupation, settlements functioned primarily as armed camps. over time, conditions stabilized, leading danes to bring their families to england. the new danish settlers intermarried and integrated with the english, who lived in close proximity and shared similar social ranks, cultural levels, and customs. integration was facilitated by the linguistic similarities between old english and old scandinavian, both germanic languages that were much closer then than their modern descendants are today. colonization and integration between newcomers and the english continued …
