Northumbria

Northumbria (England) is the location of a raid in Episode 1 East vs West in Season 2. The Norheim Vikings briefly discuss to (probably) settle there, because the land is rich, the opponents are weak and it's quite beautiful, so building a settlement would be nice.

Historically, Northumbria was raided many times by Vikings and even Kings were installed. You can read more about the details here:


 * Great Heathen Army
 * Danelaw
 * Scandinavian York
 * Kings of Northumbria (Norse era)

 * Northumbria is also one of the locations in the TV-Shows "The Last Kingdom" and "Vikings".
