Editing Cumbria (section)

==Name==
The place names ''Cumbria'' and ''Cumberland'' both mean ''"land of the Cumbrians"'' and are names derived from the term that had been used by the inhabitants of the area to describe themselves. In the period {{Circa|400|1100}}, it is likely that any group of people living in Britain who identified as 'Britons' called themselves by a name similar to 'Cum-ri' which means "fellow countrymen" (and has also survived in the Welsh name for Wales which is ''Cymru'').<ref>{{Cite web|last=Tim|date=30 July 2011|title=Terminology topics 5: Cumbria|url=https://senchus.wordpress.com/2011/07/30/terminology-topics-5-cumbria/|access-date=5 January 2022|website=Senchus|language=en}}</ref> The first datable record of the place name as ''Cumberland'' is from an entry in the [[Anglo Saxon Chronicle]] for the year AD 945.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cumberland :: Survey of English Place-Names|url=https://epns.nottingham.ac.uk/browse/Cumberland|access-date=5 January 2022|website=epns.nottingham.ac.uk}}</ref> This record refers to a kingdom known to the Anglo Saxons as ''Cumberland'' (often also known as Strathclyde) which in the 10th century may have stretched from Loch Lomond to Leeds.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Molyneaux |first=George |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/898531165 |title=The Formation of the English Kingdom in the Tenth Century |date=2015 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-871791-1 |edition=First |location=Oxford, United Kingdom |oclc=898531165}}</ref> The first king to be unequivocally described as king of the Cumbrians is [[Owain ap Dyfnwal (fl. 934)|Owain ap Dyfnwal]], who ruled from {{circa|915|937}}.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Phythian-Adams|first=Charles|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35012254|title=Land of the Cumbrians : a study in British provincial origins, A.D. 400–1120|date=1996|publisher=Scolar Press|isbn=1-85928-327-6|location=Aldershot, England|oclc=35012254}}</ref>
