Best Answer

The Danelaw was a kingdom in the Northeast of England ruled for about 70 years by Danish Vikings. It was recognized by the English in a treaty of 884, and ended in 954, when Eric Bloodaxe was driven out of England. The border separating England from the Danelaw was roughly a line from London to Chester.
