Eamont (EAMOTUM or EIMOT) was possibly the boundary between Strathclyde and Northumbria in 927 with Cumbria being ruled by its own British Kings. It was the site of the first great imperial council of the 10th century. On the 12th of July in 927 the northern kings and the Bamburgh dynasty gave up their kingdoms and were reinstated as tributaries in a ceremony on what was the northern border of the English Kingdom. Eamont was a great Roman road junction and Athelstan was establishing his frontier along the River Eamont, Ullswater and down the Duddon to the sea. They established a covenant of peace with pledges and oaths described in the Anglo Saxon Chronicles, and then separated in concord. The kings gave each other rich gifts and Athelstan received Constantine ’s son from the font having ordered him to be baptised
I finally went to Eamont Bridge in March 2014. There seems to be nothing at all there about its importance in the history of England
