Assassin's Creed Valhalla is primarily set during which historical invasion of England?

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is primarily set during the Viking invasion of England.

The game takes place in the ninth century and follows Eivor, a Viking who leaves Norway with a clan and establishes a settlement in England. The English campaign unfolds amid conflicts involving several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, and East Anglia.

Valhalla uses historical events and rulers as a backdrop while telling a fictional story involving the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients. Its central settlement, Ravensthorpe, grows as Eivor's community forms alliances and confronts rival forces.

The period is earlier than the Norman Conquest of 1066, which was led by William the Conqueror. The Roman conquest belongs to a much earlier era, and the Anglo-Saxon migration describes a different movement of peoples. Valhalla's setting is therefore best identified as the Viking invasion and expansion in England.
