None really, depends on how you define conquer.

All countries with coast to the west were visited by raiders, but seldom did they go looking for lands to rule.

There are two Viking kings who did manage to controll a fairly large area. The most successfull being Ivar Vidfamne. Though there is little information about how well he held these areas, but considering the population and tactics used by scandinavians I would be surprised if he had a firm grip of it so to speak. Anyway, he had Sweden, Norway, Denmark, northern Germany and stretching down over Netherlands, Belgium until the modern border of France. He also had the middle part of Brittain, somewhere around south of Scotland to the "gulf" north of East Anglia.

The other one I have forgotten his name, but it was around 800-1000. I can't give specific information as to what lands he claimed but northern Ireland, all of Brittain down to London itself, and the coast of Normandie. The name Normandie is named that way because of this Viking. After accepting tribute from England and a failed raid and some circumstance unknown, it ended up with a bulk of them going to France for what one can only assume to be raiding, but instead they offered to give the vikings the land instead (let them raid each other was probably the thought there) and hence the name Normandie, Nor = North, Man = Man, Die = Home, Northmanshome!
