Bielby is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The village is situated about south of Pocklington. According to the 2011 UK census, Bielby parish had a population of 258, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 281.〔 〕 About two miles north-east of Bielby, on the edge of Hayton, lie the ruins of an ancient Roman military fortress, an important archaeological site. The University of Durham, Dept of Archaeology, led an excavation between 1995 and 1998 with assistance from local residents and University of Leeds students. A well, a bath-house and many other parts of the Roman fortress have been identified. ==Origin of name== Biel•by is an interesting name, with the first syllable deriving from Slavonic root meaning 'White' and the second syllable Danish for 'farm'. Since there is one time period that fits precisely with the emergence of permanent name changes in what used to be named Northumbria, we can tell from this unusual etymology and the historical timeline the approximate date the village was established. This also fits the known population growth path of the village. Bielby means 'White' Farm (белый (Biele or Byele) Etymology 9th century AD Old Russian for "White" Biele etymology in Old Russian, the favoured theory postulates that a Belarusian warrior joined his new rulers, the Vikings, to go west and conquer. Joining forces with Ivar the Boneless (See History Channel series (The Vikings (Ragnar Lodbrok) )), they captured the region in about 865/6 AD. The farm with a water supply potential was gifted as a reward for fighting. This would have been preferred by a Belarusian who most likely was skilled in raising geese from his homeland (goose farming was and is widespread in Belarus. Bielby has always been a goose farm). Vikings allied with new forces, and requested assistance in fighting foreign battles as a demonstration of allegiance. Hence the fighter from Biele (White Russia) fought to demonstrate his loyalty and received the farm as payment (though this was less common). We have no evidence that 'Bielby' was a village before the Vikings came. It was a tiny farm for many generations in the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries with less than 3 households by the 11th century (Domesday Archive on Bielby (1086 information with image of Short hand Latin) ). It is interesting that the total rent collected from tenants in Bielby dropped from 1066 to 1086 from £56 to £8. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bielby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
