I've been interested in this question for a while. I understand that there was wide spread raiding and a few Dublin style colonies (E.G. Swansea) but no major effort to annex the Welsh kingdoms.
All I've found is that "The Vikings, however, were not able to set up a Viking state or control Wales, owing to the powerful forces of Welsh kings", and that various Welsh kingdoms aided the Vikings in the conquest of Mercia.
What made the Welsh kingdoms stronger than their English counterparts? Was there any major effort by the norse to annex Wales fully? Any sources would appreciated.
