   There was no record of any Anglian cavalry at that time and the Anglian   
   forces were not under siege at Bamburgh.  They were more properly under   
   siege on Lindisfarne.  My point was that someone who claims they are from   
   the north of England should know how to spell Bamburgh.  There is no such   
   place as Bamborough.   
      
      
   > Bede's history was written in Latin.   
      
   That was my point.  Boggie, Flink, Celtic Warrior, or Celtic   
   Uni...........whatever you're calling yourself today, claimed it was written   
   in German.   
      
      
    Northumbria was a term invented by Bede   
   > to describe North Britain,   
      
   The point is not who was first to use the term for what was only a part of   
   northern Britain!  The point is that Boggie, Flink etc etc claimed that the   
   said kingdom did not exist at all.
