Yorkshire


A historic county of Northern England. Yorkshire is the largest county in the United Kingdom. Celts were the early inhabitants of Yorkshire, the two tribes, the Brigantes and the Parisi. The Brigantes controlled more territory than any other Celtic tribe in England. The Brigantes remained in control of their kingdom although the Roman conquest began in 43 AD. It was reigned as a client state of Rome for an extended period by the Brigantian monarchs Venutius and his queen Cartimandua.

The Arthurian legends tells us of a potter, Thompson, in an English legend and his meeting with King Arthur beneath Richmond Castle in Yorkshire.
