The Boernicians, an ancient clan of people of the north of Britain, were a mixture of Picts and Angles, dating from about the year 400 A.D., and considered to be the founding peoples of that area. Their territories ranged from Edinburgh in the north, southward to the north Riding of Yorkshire in England. By 1000 A.D. this race had formed into discernible clans and families, perhaps some of the first evidence of the family structure in Britain.
