∙ 15y agoThey found the monastaries on the coast of England to be a great place to gain weath. Since the Monks were peaceful and they didn't carry weapons, so it was basically like taking candy from a baby. And eventually, they formed permanant settlements. In answer to the question why exactly did they decide to settle in England, you need to look at when this shift happened. Since the first recorded raid, in 787, right up until 865, the vikings had only been "traders and raiders" and had in the latter part of that period overwintered in parts of england, but they had never intended to settle. It was in 865 with the arrival of the Great Heathen Army, that settlement was their motive. The GHA arrived with the single objective of settlement, no more skirmishes raiding and trading and then leaving, but full time settlement. The main reason cited for this change appears to have been to do with overcrowding their homeland, however with a distinct lack of contemporary sources from the viking side we do not know exactly why.

What were the vikings looking for in canada?
While it is not known for certain, the Vikings were likely looking for resources and trade when they discovered Canada. There is evidence that they actually traveled down the Mississippi River as far as present day Memphis, TN.
Did vikings have the black death?
Yes, in a way. The Vikings settled down in areas all over Europe from Greenland to Sicily to Russia and Constantinople. In the end Vikings became Christinized and Feudal matching the institutions of mainland Europe. By 1347 the Vikings were changed into new paradigms and adopted local customs and married into local populations. So when the Plague hit their terretories in 1347-1353, they too were affected by the great death that claimed anywhere from 1/5 to 1/3 of Europe (Historians debate the #).

What is the part of northern France conquered by the Vikings in 911?
Normandy was conquered and settled by the Norse (Viking is what they did, not who they were) in the early tenth century, but I don't think you can pin it down to one year. It was in 911 that the conquest was consolidated and the Duchy of Normandy was founded by the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte
