What part of the Middle Ages were the Viking voyages in?

The Viking raids began in 793 AD with a raid on Lindisfarne. The Viking Age ended during the 9th and 10th centuries. There are authors who place the date ending the age at 1066, but calling the French speaking Normans who invaded England Vikings because their ancestors were Vikings a hundred years earlier might be stretching a point a bit too much. There is a link to an article on the Viking Age below.

Can you name viking place names ending in thwaite?

It's not safe to assume all place names ending in "-thorpe" have Viking origins because the word was also used by tribes from North Germany (Saxons). So there are lots of names that are thorpe but most likely not Viking but Germanic (Angle, Saxon etc) Torp was the Viking equivalent of similar Germanic words and had the same meaning of homestead. Most English placenames with both thorpe and Viking connections are on the east side of the middle and north of England because the Viking influences were most often there. The best places to look are Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Here are some arranged by county. Lincolnshire Scunthorpe is a town in Lincolnshire, England. Its name is pure Viking and derives from the Old Norse for Skuma's homestead. Skellingthorpe is similar, and is pure Viking. Others include Caythorpe. Cleethorpes is a more recent name than Vikings. Yorkshire Thorpe-le-Street is a mix of Viking and Old English. The Street part means it was built on or near to an old road, most likely Roman. Others include: Haisthorpe, Fraisthorpe, Ugthorpe, Foggathorpe (originally Fulcatorp) A good way to tell them apart from the others is to look at modern Swedish or other Scandinavian languages and get a feel for the sound of words and names, then find similar sounding words with Thorpe as placenames.
