Description
The history of relations between Strathclyde and Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking period is revealed in this book. The focus is on the North Britons, also known as 'Cumbrians', who ruled from Govan and extended their rule southward to the Solway Firth. Their extensive realm, which was also known as 'Cumbria', played a significant role in many of the great political events of the time, including battles and treaties. The book explores how this county acquired its name from a long-vanished kingdom centred on the River Clyde. This book is part of a wider history that forms an important chapter in the story of how England and Scotland emerged from the early medieval period.
