Words and Places, Rev. Isaac Taylor, p. 62.the western coasts of England, the Celtic tribes were never com pletely subdued, either by the Saxons or by the Angles, though they were ultimately overcome by the more formidable arms and the more skilful military system of the Normans, who first con quered the Saxons and Angles, andthen with their assistance completed the conquest of the Celts in the more mountainous districts. The mountains or hills of the Northumbrian kingdom thus enabled the Celtic tribes, in the north of England, to make a very long, and for many ages a successful defence, of the dis tricts of Cumberland, Westmoreland, and of the hilly country which extends from the borders of Scotland to the south of Yorkshire. So long and obstinate was the resistance, that some of these districts, including the kingdom of Cumberland, were not conquered by the Saxon and Anglian kings until more than four hundred years after the time when the Saxons formed their first settlements on the coasts of Norfolk, Kent, and Sussex, or less than three hundred years after Ida and his immediate successors landed on the eastern shores of the kingdom of Northumberland.
