'''Yorkshire''' is a county in Northern [[England]], and is the largest county, divided into three 'Ridings' (OE ''thridings'', 'thirds'). Although officially a county, owing to its size as well as its distinctive cuisine, dialect, literature, as well as its history, having been important to the [[Romans]], [[Anglo-Saxons]], [[Vikings]] and [[Normans]], it can be thought of as a cultural region of England as well.
