current	11:25, 18 February 2024	4,712 × 5,895 (3.86 MB)	XrysD	I have changed the name of the file to avoid any confusion that the map refers to counties covered by the Domesday Book. To cover your earlier objection, Encyclopedia Britannica also states that Northumbria ceased to exist and became part of England before the Norman Invasion (https://www.britannica.com/place/Northumbria). Hopefully this now resolves things. As before if you do have any evidence that it wasn't legally part of England please submit them and we can reopen this issue.
	02:33, 22 October 2023	4,712 × 5,895 (4.29 MB)	DogOfDoom	Reverted to version as of 15:52, 11 June 2023 (UTC) The claim made on the History of Northumberland page is unsourced. While part of England in the sense that Bede used (the land inhabited by the English people), evidence that the lands north of the Tees were not part of the unified English Kingdom is attested by plenty of sources. Why did the Domesday claim to cover the whole of the English Kingdom if Durham and Northumberland were included?
	16:23, 17 September 2023	4,712 × 5,895 (3.86 MB)	XrysD	According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Northumberland the Kingdom of Northumberland became part of England in 927. Thus when William became King of England in 1086, it included it. How troublesome it was to rule and how much the locals rebelled is irrelevant. Legally it was part of England which is what this map shows.
	15:52, 11 June 2023	4,712 × 5,895 (4.29 MB)	DogOfDoom	Reverted to version as of 02:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC) While indisputably part of the English cultural-linguistic sphere, Northumbria's status as part of 11th century Kingdom of England was ambiguous at best, and plenty of sources attest to this.
	09:04, 19 January 2022	4,712 × 5,895 (3.86 MB)	XrysD	This is a map of England at the time of Domesday, not what counties were part of it. That is covered in another map - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DomesdayCountyCircuitsMap.png. So adding that information clutters the map unnecessarily.
