Clarkson, Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age (Edinburgh, 2014); F. Edmonds, ‘The Emergence and Transformation of Medieval Cumbria’, SHR 93 (2014), 195–216 and ‘The Expansion of the Kingdom of Strathclyde’, Early Medieval Europe 23 (2015), 43–66. For the Norse of the southern Northumbria/Danelaw, where the upsurge has been even more intense, it is impossible to summarise fairly in a note. For important general works, see A. P. Smyth, Scandinavian York and Dublin: The History and Archaeology of Two Related Viking Kingdoms, 2 vols (Dublin, 1979); P. Sawyer, Anglo-Saxon Lincolnshire (Lincoln, 1998); D. M Hadley, The Northern Danelaw: Its Social Structure, c. 800–1100 (London, 2000); C. Etchingham, ‘North Wales, Ireland and the Isles: The Insular Viking Zone’, Peritia: Journal of the Medieval Academy of Ireland 15 (2001), 145–87; B.

2 For instance, in D. Rollason’s very good Northumbria, 500–1100: Creation and Destruction of a Kingdom (Cambridge, 2003), the book’s forty-four-page chapter on the Viking Age gives them only a paragraph, at p. 249. The fullest treatments on our topic are D. Whitelock,’The Dealings of the Kings of England with Northumbria’, in P. Clemoes (ed.), The Anglo-Saxons: Studies in Some Aspects of their History and Culture Presented to Bruce Dickins (London, 1959), 70–88; W. E. Kapelle, The Norman Conquest of the North: The Region and its Transformation, 1000–1135 (London, 1979); R. Fletcher, Bloodfeud: Murder and Revenge in Anglo-Saxon England (London, 2002). However, there are many important observations in the works cited above, and in A. Woolf, From Pictland to Alba, 789–1070, The New Edinburgh History of Scotland 2 (Edinburgh, 2007). See also N. McGuigan, ‘Ælla and the Descendants of Ivar’, NH 52 (2015), 20–34.
