Year: 925 A.D.

Region: Northumbria, Anglo-Saxon England

Historical Context: Northumbria is fractured following the death of a Northumbrian king, power contested between Anglo-Saxon lords and Norse rulers in York (Jórvík). Danish raids continue along rivers and coasts. Slavery is normalized—captives are taken as laborers, concubines, or traded. A peasant woman finds herself captive of the Danes.
