Local rule did not survive beyond the brothers -- from Halfdan's death in 877, Jorvik fell under the kings of Bernicia, to the north, and then in 910 more [[Denmark|Danes]] from Dublin took over. There was a brief period (c.927-939CE) when [[Athelstan]] of [[Wessex]] conquered Jorvik; he was succeeded by [[Erik Bloodaxe]] (twice) but on Erik's death (954) the kingdom was regained by and subsumed into [[England]].</div>Simoncursitor
