Yorkshire has a long history going back to the Iron Age. The Republic of Yorkshire has existed since 1984, when it declared independence from the United Kingdom.

==Pre-Norman history==

Before 1069, Yorkshire has formed part of:

* The Celtic nations of '''Brigantes''' (North and West Ridings) and '''Parisi''' (East Riding)
* The Roman province of Britannia (York was the capital of the northern division **Britannia Inferior** from 214-383, and Constantine the Great was crowned in York)
* The post-Roman Celtic '''Kingdom of Elmet''' (West Riding)
* The Anglian '''Kingdom of Deira''' (North and East Ridings - York was the capital)
* The Anglian '''Kingdom of Northumbria''' from which the present-day nation to the north of Yorkshire takes its name (York was joint capital)
* The Viking '''Kingdom of Jórvík''' was Northumbrian land conquered by Denmark-Norway and created the boundaries of modern Yorkshire
* The Anglo-Saxon '''Earldom of Northumbria''' was an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Wessex

==As part of England==

In 1069, the newly conquered Kingdom of England subjugated Northumbria in a reign of terror now known as the ''Harrying of the North''. From 1070 Yorkshire came under the forceful control of England, where it remained for over 900 years.
