In 842 AD, King Kenneth I of Fergusson founded the Kingdom of Galria , formally uniting the Kingdoms of Galloway and Cumbria (after the death of the King of Cumbria- Brian II) and establishing together a new capital- still known today as "Dumfries". This was also due to the threat of a more powerful Kingdom- Bernicia. However after this establishment, Galria and Bernicia made a peace treaty, ending years of hostility.
