Comments: Cumberland, more clumsily Cumberlandshire, is a located in the northwesternmost corner of England, between the Irish Sea and Scotland, of which it formerly was a part. Originally part of Roman Britain, it was overrun by the Picts and Scots during the Barbarian invasions, and eventually became the Kingdom of Cumbria. This was later incorporated into the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumberland, overrun successively by Norsemen and Scots again, and not finally incorporated into England until about the time of the Norman Conquest. The shire is part of the Archiepiscopal province of York . Cumberland, which has some of the highest hills in Britain, has some industry, but is primarily agricultural in character.
