Northumberland or Northumbria?
Today these terms are used more or less interchangeably. 'Northumberland' is the modern day county that extends from just north of Newcastle up to the Scottish border and westwards to Cumbria. 'Northumbria' was an ancient mediaeval Kingdom (from 7th century) which extended from the River Humber up to the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Today Northumbria usually refers to modern-day Northumberland. |
