A Northumbrian is an inhabitant of Northumbria. Since no one has been able to strictly meet that criterion for a thousand years or so, I've decided to co-opt the definition for my own selfish purposes.
Because all of my direct ancestry comes from territory that either
- once formed part of the ancient Northumbria, or
- lies north of the Humber, irrespective of country
I've decided to label myself a Northumbrian and take it as my user name on the English language Wikipedia.
