Nottingham
Nottingham is a city in the East Midlands of England on the River Trent. The Viking Great Heathen Army wintered there in 867–868, and it became one of the Five Boroughs of the Danelaw until it was taken by Edward the Elder in 918. Charles I raised his standard at Nottingham in 1642 to begin the English Civil War. It later grew as a centre of lace-making and industry and is linked with the legend of Robin Hood.
