They lived chiefly on the hills and moors and on the edge of the Wolds, and the new-comers gave them a common name, Brigantes, dwellers on high places. Recent investigation would seem to show that there were two distinct races then inhabiting the county, but all accurate record of them is lost, and whatever greatness they had eclipsed.
