Eoforwic was the capital of the Anglian Kingdom of Northumbria. Then later when the Vikings invaded the city in 866 AD they renamed it Jórvík. After the Norman conquest, the name "York", which was first used in the thirteenth century, gradually evolved. In the Middle Ages York became a very important wool trading centre in the North of England.
