the part of north-eastern England that was ruled by the Danes from 878 until the whole of England came under Danish rule in 1013. The line between Danelaw and the rest of Anglo-Saxon England ran roughly between London and Chester. Many places in the north-east of England still have Danish names. For example, Denby means Dane Village, and Thorpe in names like Middlethorpe means farm.丹尼劳（Danelaw）：英格兰的东北部，从878年开始一直由丹麦人统治，直到1013年整个英格兰都受到丹麦的统治。丹尼劳和盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰其他地区之间的界线大致介于伦敦和切斯特之间。英格兰东北部的许多地方仍然使用丹麦名字。例如，登比（Denby）代表丹麦村（Dane Village），索普（Mordthorpe）之类的名字代表农场。
