Best Answer

In 911, French King Charles the Simple was able to make an agreement with the Viking warleader Rollo, a chieftain of disputed Norwegian or Danish origins. Charles gave Rollo the title of duke and granted him and his followers possession of Normandy. In return, Rollo swore fealty to Charles, converted to Christianity, and undertook to defend the northern region of France against the incursions of other Viking groups. Several generations later, the Norman descendants of these Viking settlers not only identified themselves as French but carried the French language, and their variant of the French culture, into England in 1066. With the Norman Conquest, they became the ruling aristocracy of Anglo-Saxon England.

They just stop raiding.. Why might u ask?

The answer is very simple, it's because raiding were less profitable for them as time progressed. European lands during that time already had a formidable military strength which was able to easily deter viking raids.. They were also very organized whereas the vikings weren't.

Also, Christianity entered Scandinavia near the end of the viking age. Their teachings forbid the vikings from raiding.

Hope this helps
