@_Ollie_Randall_ Theoretically, but 7 kings doesn't really work & 7thc Doctrina Iacobi+10thC Hudud al-'Alam share concept + clear=Britain :)
@caitlinrgreen fair, though NONE of it rly works - 7 kings, 1 holy city? - and hudud al-alam wouldn't be the only one to make that mistake
@_Ollie_Randall_ Oh, reminds me, meant to add para on city! Actually, I think that works as London--on borders of several kingdoms etc :)
@caitlinrgreen (I mean hudud al-alam might have misidentified the place that was being discussed in the text he was cribbing)
@caitlinrgreen I'm in the Bruttium camp for Honorius's letter of 410 so I'm partial to a bit of Britain misidentification :)
