Comments: York was founded as Eboracum by the Romans around the Year of Grace 70, on the site of an old Celtic stronghold. It was the second largest city in Roman Britain, and has more or less consistently remained so, regardless of whomsoever rules. York has been the seat of an Archbishop (whose authority extends not only to northern England but also to all of Scotland) since the 7th century. To provide him with a church worthy of his position, and to give thanks unto the Lord for their prosperity, for more than a half century now the burgers of York have been building a cathedral, dedicated to St. Peter, but long since commonly known as York Minster. There is much industry in the town, including woolens, banking, and trade.
