6 SCOTTISH ANNALS
REGINALD or DURHAM, VITA S. OSWALDI, IN S. OF D., VOL. I,
p. 339.
The kingdom
of the Deirans was of old from the river
and that of the
Humber to the bed of the source of the Tyne ;
Bernicians extended at once its border and its area from the
source of the Tyne to the Scotwad, 1 which is called Forth 2 in
the Scottish tongue.
But all that lies between the rivers Tyne and Tees was at
that time but a desert waste, and therefore subject to no man's
dominion, and therein was but the den and dwelling-place of
wild and woodland beasts.
JOHN OE EVERSDEN, IN FL. OF W., VOL. II, p. 250.
Hyring was the first king who reigned after the Britons
in Northumbria. 3
Northumbria is from the great river Humber ... to the
Frisian sea, which is now caUed the Scottish Sea, 4 because it
separates the Angles and the Scots. It was called the Frisian
sea of old, because the Frisians with the Danes often and most
frequently were wont to land there with their ships, and afterwards
to ravage Northumbria along with the Picts and Scots.
Afterwards this district was divided, upon diverse occasions
and various misfortunes, in many ways. And no long time
afterwards it was divided into two districts : into Deira, to
wit, and Bernicia. . . .
And Bernicia is the district in which reigned the holy king
and martyr, Oswald; to wit, from the Tyne to the Sea of
Scotland.
Thereafter Northumbria meant sometimes from the
Humber to the Tees, sometimes to the Tyne, sometimes to
the Tweed ; but now only so much as is between the Tyne
and the Tweed.
