York (Old English: Eoforwic; Old Norse: Jorvik) during the Anglo-Saxon period, is a city located in North Yorkshire, England. The city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Northumbria during the early Middle Ages, until its conquest by the Vikings in 866.

History

York was originally founded as a town named Eboracum during the Roman occupation of Great Britain. Between the 2nd and early 5th century, the Hidden Ones had a bureau based in the city. On 3 February 211, the Hidden One Khloe infiltrated the villa of Emperor Severus and administered poison to him. The emperor died the next day and Khloe succeeded in carrying out an assassination contract.[1] Following the depature of Roman legions, the city was settled by Saxon settlers, where it became known as Eoforwic.[2]
