   The Anglian cavalry was in fact under seige at Dun Gwarai aka Bamburgh.   
   Bede's history was written in Latin. Northumbria was a term invented by Bede   
   to describe North Britain, and Bede invented Southumbria as a term to   
   describe South Britain. Libraries do not normally sell books, but some did   
   under Tory rule just to raise cash to stay open.
