Reading edition
Chron. Wig. 1065. “And sona æfter þisan gegaderedon þa þegenas hi ealle on Eoforwicscire and on Norðhymbralande togædere.” Here we have perhaps the earliest use of the name Yorkshire, and of the name Northumberland in its modern sense. See vol. i. p. 585. The Abingdon Chronicle has only “on Eoforwicscire,” and Peterborough says “foron Norðhymbra togædere.”
