Northumbria

Medieval English kingdom

Northumbria was an early medieval English kingdom, existing between 654 and 1066 AD, at its height spanning modern-day Northern England and Southern Scotland. The name derives from the Old English Norþhymbre meaning "the people or province north of the Humber", as opposed to the people south of the Humber Estuary. What was to become Northumbria started as two kingdoms, Deira in the south and Bernicia in the north.
