Anglo-Scandinavian

Anglo-Scandinavian is an academic term referring to the archaeological and historical periods during the 8th to 13th centuries in which there was migration to - and occupation of - the British Isles[1] by Scandinavians generally known as Norsemen or Vikings. It is used in distinction from Anglo-Saxon.

The term is also used in linguistic studies covering the same period.[2]

For the early raids and occupations, see Viking Age: England, Norse activity in the British Isles or Viking Expansion: British Isles
For the later, political interactions between Britain and Scandinavia, see: Danelaw and North Sea Empire
