- abstract
- Since the foundation of a Roman fortress nearly 2,000 years ago, York has been an Anglo-Scandinavian archbishop's seat and centre of learning, the capital of a Viking Age kingdom, and the northern focus of Norman and medieval government. To the first English antiquaries, in the 16th century, York was 'the second city of England', 'the Queen City of Northern Britain'. This remains true even now, when new commercial, cultural and educational enterprises are renewing the city. Underneath the modern developments, in essence, York remains what a 19th century writer described as 'an ancient city still'.
