Anlaf Cunran, better known by his Norse name Olaf Kvaran, was driven out of York by the adventurer Erik the Bloodax, the son of King Harald Finehair of Norway. Olaf Kvaran thereafter ruled as King of Norse Dublin where (945-980). In the confusing fighting over York between these pagan Hiberno-Norse and the Christian Kings of Wessex, the Danish settlers eventually came to realize that they had far more in common with their fellow Christian English neighbors than they did with the Norwegian interlopers. So, in 955, the Danes of York accepted as their king, Eadwig of Wessex. Description
