What happened to the Norsemen of the Danelaw?

by Jerswar

I know the Danelaw in Britain was eventually taken over by English kings, but what happened to the ethnically/culturally Norse people who had settled there in the meantime? Were they wiped out or did they assimilate into the native culture, gradually losing their Norse identity?

Hello, I answered a very similar question to yours here a little while ago that I hope is useful.

I'm happy to answer any follow-up questions though.
