Lonsdale was a hundred of Lancashire, England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A vision of Lonsdale Hundred )〕 For centuries, it covered most of the northwestern part of Lancashire around Morecambe Bay, including the detached part around Furness, and the city of Lancaster. The name Lonsdale refers to the River Lune which flowed through the southern part of the hundred. Lonsdale was not recorded as a hundred in the Domesday Book, but the name does appear, in the returns for Yorkshire, apparently as a manor attached to Cockerham. 'in Lonsdale' has been appended to an number of places within the Lune's watershed. Kirkby Lonsdale, Burton-in-Lonsdale, Thornton-in-Lonsdale retain the name but Middleton, Sedbergh, Ingleton and Newby, near Clapham have previously been recorded with it. Following the creation of the hundred sometime during the late 11th or early 12th centuries, parts of the district were included in Westmorland and others in Craven within the West Riding of Yorkshire. The hundred had been defined by 1168 and the bailiwick was granted to Adam de Kellet (of Nether Kellet) in 1199. Other places in the Lonsdale hundred included Lancaster, Bolton-le-Sands, Barrow-in-Furness, Dalton-in-Furness, Ulverston, and Morecambe. The Furness Peninsula was known as ''Lonsdale North of the Sands'', the major part of which later constituted (from 1894 to 1974) the North Lonsdale Rural District. In 1831, the population of males over twenty years old was given as 10,707,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lonsdale Hundred: Total number of males aged 20 and over )〕 meaning the total population would likely be over 20,000 during that year. ==References== * 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「Lonsdale Hundred」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
