Talk:Ebrauc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is talking about York, and should be merged and redirected. Luigi30 (Ταλκ) 14:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

There was also a Dark Age kingdom called Ebrauc, where as the City of York was Caer Ebrauc James Frankcom 18:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC).

Maybe they were called Ebrauc and Caer Ebrauc then, but the article currently claims that Ebrauc "is the Welsh name for the modern city of York". It's not. The modern Welsh for the modern city of York is Efrog. I tend (mildly) to agree that it should redirect to York. I'm actually surprised there is no History of York article: the place has history enough to justify one. --Telsa 16:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It should certainly be made clearer that this article is about the Brythonic kingdom which was centred on York rather than just about the city during the post-Roman era. I would suggest a title change. Despite the city being called Caer Ebrauc at this period, there is little evidence to suggest what the kingdom was actually called and it is generally referred to as the 'British Kingdom of York'.

Tidy up. The existence of this kingdom, though probable, is largely supposition and I have tried to make that clear. Walgamanus 17:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Have changed "cumbric" to Brythonic in this sentance

"This city was called by the Cumbric name of Caer Ebrauc"

given Cumbric possibly never existed as a seperate language, and if it did no-one has any idea what the word for York was. Also Nennius was Welsh, not from Cumbria.
