The viking traditions are strong in England and northern Europe. Two of the kings of England were simultaneously kings of Denmark. The Normandy area is named for the "Norseman" who settled there. The Norman invasion that established the current British monarchy essentially began as a squabble among viking descendants. The English in 1066 were still using the Viking/Danish system for royal succession, with the new king elected by nobility, with some deference to an heir designated by the dying king. When Edward the Confessor died, his kinsman Harold was named king, but the Norse and the Normans, all related by different degrees, disagreed. The Norse invaded first from the north, and Harold had to beat them and then make a rapid forced march southward to where the Normans were invading, where his weakened and exhausted army was defeated. William of Normandy claimed that Edward had named him as his successor, and he further claimed that Harold had agreed that William would succeed Edward years before that.Vikings had jurys?
