Jórvík - Old Norse name of York

York is a historic city in northern England known for its beautiful cathedral, the York Minster, and its well-preserved medieval walls. The city has a rich history dating back to Roman times and later became a major Viking settlement.
It is the county town of Yorkshire.
The name York (Old Norse: Jórvík) is derived from the Brittonic name Eburākon, a combination of eburos "yew tree" and a suffix of appurtenance *-āko(n), meaning "belonging to", or "place of"
When the Danish army conquered the city in 866, it was renamed Jórvík.
The form York was first recorded in the 13th century.
The 12th‑century chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his fictional account of the prehistoric kings of Britain, Historia Regum Britanniae, suggests the name derives from that of a pre-Roman city founded by the legendary king Ebraucus.
York Castle is a fortified complex in the city of York, England. It consists of a sequence of castles, prisons, law courts and other buildings, which were built over the last nine centuries on the south side of the River Foss. The now-ruined keep of the medieval Norman castle is commonly referred to as Clifford's Tower. Built originally on the orders of William I to dominate the former Viking city of Jórvík, the castle suffered a tumultuous early history before developing into a major fortification with extensive water defences.
