English resistance was uncoordinated and often ineffective. 'England' was
a region of several independent kingdoms - often at war with each other. Eventually, King
Alfred was able to confront the Vikings at Edington. Alfred had to concede the northern and
eastern counties to the Vikings, York became the capital of the Viking Kingdom of York.
These areas were gradually reconquered and brought back under English control by Alfred's
successors.
*Feudalism and the manor system Manorialism, otherwise known as the Manorial
System, is the political, economic, and social system by which peasants of medieval Europe
were made dependent on their land and on their lord. The manorial system was the most
convenient device for organizing the estates of the aristocracy and the clergy in the European
Middle Ages. Feudalism is a hierarchical system in which a lord or king gives a gift or land to
a vassal in exchange for protection. The decline of feudalism can be marked by the crusades.
