Northumbria came into existence as part of the English Heptarchy in Anglo-Saxon times with the union of Bernicia and Deira in the eighth century. Much of the territory was disputed between England and Scotland until 1237 and the Wales and Berwick Act of 1246 claimed Berwick upon Tweed as part of England. It became part of the Danelaw in the ninth century, effectively ceasing to exist in Norman times. After the Restoration, the Northumbrian "region" (in the informal sense) had a reputation of supporting the Jacobites.

abstract	Northumbria came into existence as part of the English Heptarchy in Anglo-Saxon times with the union of Bernicia and Deira in the eighth century. Much of the territory was disputed between England and Scotland until 1237 and the Wales and Berwick Act of 1246 claimed Berwick upon Tweed as part of England. It became part of the Danelaw in the ninth century, effectively ceasing to exist in Norman times. The House of York fought with the House of Lancaster in the fifteenth century for the English throne, leading to the traditional rivalry between Yorkshire and Lancashire later in history, and was ultimately won by the Lancastrian Henry Tudor. At the Union of the Crowns in 1603, James I of England is said to have declared that Berwick upon Tweed was part of neither England nor Scotland but the Union. This claim was later used as part of the legal basis for the return of the borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed to Scotland in 1993. After the Restoration, the Northumbrian "region" (in the informal sense) had a reputation of supporting the Jacobites. The Industrial Revolution led to growth in the population of the cities of the West Riding, Newcastle upon Tyne and some other urban centres, meaning that with Lancashire, Yorkshire became the largest traditional county by population. The concentration of industry and later the unemployment from the late New Elizabethan Era gave rise to a situation where these former industrial centres could be relied upon to vote Labour along with the Lancastrian cities, meaning that the Yorkist and Lancastrian Parties found it relatively easy to pressurise the Healey government into accepting a Federalist approach to England by refusing to stand in those constituencies from which many Labour MPs represented. This was also helped by the dominance of the idea of Yorkshire and Northumbria as areas with a strong regional identity and history and their distance from London. With the final conversion of England into a federal kingdom and the independence of Scotland in 1993, it was decided to redress the imbalance of a historical southern capital by moving the administrative but not the ceremonial function to Harrogate. This plan echoed the earlier plan at the beginning of the Elizabethan Era to shift the capital to a purpose-built city referred to as Elizabetha. However, Berwick was also lost to the newly independent nation of Scotland during this reorganisation.
