[edit] Long been the de facto border?

"Although it had long been the de facto border, it was legally established in 1237" – from memory, Cumbria was part of Alba / Scotland in the 11th century, and it was a deal in the 12th century that set the present border. The eastern part of the boundary was set earlier, 10th century? I'm rather pressed with other projects just now, but it would be good if someone more knowledgeable about history could put some dates on it, and perhaps mention the earlier Brittonic / Pictish border.
