Kings of Jórvík

Kings of Jórvík

This position was regularly in control of Jórvík/Northumbria and intermittently of Dublin, the Isle of Man and Five Burghs. Kings of Dublin took the throne and Kings of Wessex later outright annexed the land, occasionally renewing the title in a lesser rank.

Halfdan Ragnarsson of Sweden (d. 877) was the first King of Jorvik. Eirik Bloodaxe (d. 954) of Norway was the last King of Jorvik, when the lands were given to the Earl of York.
