Northumbria, in modern contexts, usually refers to the region of England between the Tees and Tweed, including the historic counties of Northumberland and Durham, but it is often taken to be a synonymous with North East England. The area corresponds to the Viking-age rump of the Kingdom of Northumbria to the north of the Tyne, alongside the Patrimony of St Cuthbert, which lay between the Tyne and Tees.
