"Centurions of the Ninth Legion spotted three Brigantes stealing lead from a roof in Eborac*m, but the thieves escaped before the might of the Roman army could catch them and throw them to the lions.
An entire legion pursued the Brigantes, who are nowadays known as Yorkshiremen, through the streets of the city now called York, but failed to catch them."
