Northumberland is a region in the Norse historical tradition, principally inhabited by Northmen and formerly held by Lodbrok's sons. Danes and Northmen often plundered there, and many Norwegian place-names existed in the region, including Grimsby and Haukfliot (Heimskringla, Eirik's Departure From The Country).
Northumberland is associated with Eirik Blood-axe and Olaf, both of whom are connected to the region. It is also identified with Valde.
