cross-over words between Old English and Old Norse
According to one expert, whose last name is Shippey and who was featured in Episode two of the PBS series, The Story of English, there were not only cross-over words but the wholesale dumping of case ending in nouns was a result of the mixing of Old English and Old Norse. Common roots with drastically different case endings resulted in the form of the language we have today.
