  1. Northumberland is England's northernmost county, with a tumultuous past1. It was once a land where Roman occupiers guarded a walled frontier, Anglian invaders fought with Celtic natives, and Norman lords built castles to suppress rebellion and defend a contested border with Scotland1. The county is a vestige of an independent kingdom that once stretched from Edinburgh to the Humber1. Danish invaders conquered Northumberland in the 9th century, and the land north of the River Tweed was lost to the Scots2. The Normans ruthlessly harried the north in the 11th century and built castles to defend against invasions from Scotland and Scandinavia2.
