Would they have even been able to conquer it? I feel like they would have only managed to gain a colony on Greenland but further inland and they wouldn't make it past the Iroquois Confederacy.
To my knowledge, the Vinland colony failed because they were so disconnected from Europe and lacked any form of military superiority over the natives, so they just kind of showed up, fought the natives for a couple months/years, realized this shit wasn't going to work and went home
