Struck at York after Edmund's reconquest of Northumbria in 944. Ingalgar had an impressive stint at York, which traded hands between the kings of Wessex and the Vikings. After his appointment by Eadmund, he continued under Eadred (946-947), then under the Viking ruler Eric Bloodaxe (947-948), then under Eadred again (948-949), then under Anlaf Sithtricsson (Cuaran) (949-952), under Eric again (952-954), and finally under Eadgar, after he retook York in 954. His name is found on coins of all these rulers (see CTCE, chapters 6, 7, and 14).
