Years: 1092 - 1092
Cumberland had formed the core of the Brythonic kingdom of Rheged during the Early Middle Ages.
By the end of the seventh century, most of Cumberland had been incorporated into the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.
Most of modern-day Cumbria had been ruled by Scotland at the time of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 and thus had been excluded from the Domesday Book survey of 1086.
Cumberland is invaded by William II in 1092 and incorporated into England, thereby establishing the Solway Firth as England’s northern boundary.
