Summary
The transforming city – Eboracum, Eoforwic and Jorvik
On All Saints Day, 1 November 866, the great Viking army attacked and captured Eoforwic, capital of Northumbria – modern day York. This attack, followed 10 years later by permanent settlement here and a ‘sharing out of lands’ between the successful invaders laid the foundation for the creation of the Viking city and kingdom of Jorvik. In this tour of York, led by former York City Archaeologist John Oxley, we will explore the city, looking in detail at the impact and legacy of the Viking settlers. We will consider what the city was like before the Vikings arrived and how it was transformed by the influx of triumphant Scandinavians into a city of culture and learning, epitomized by the work of Alcuin. York is a beautiful and complex historic city which is also wonderfully set out for exploration by foot. The almost complete circuit of defences enclose a city rich in archaeological stories. Starting with its earliest beginnings, we will trace the history and archaeology of York from the foundation of Eboracum in AD 71 up to the medieval glory of the city.
