About AD 790, the Vikings start to invade England. The Norsemen, who come from Norway, mainly settle in Scotland and Ireland. The north and east of England are settled by the Danes. The Vikings are excellent traders and navigators. They trade in silk and furs as far as Russia. In 1016 England becomes part of the Scandinavian Empire under King Cnut. In September, King Harold II marches north to defeat his half-brother, the king of Norway, at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Just three weeks later, he himself is defeated and killed at Hastings by another invader of Viking origin, William Duke of Normandy, from northern France.
