        Against idea that India=mistake for Judea is ref to St Thomas+Bartholomew, as 9thC English associated these w/ India https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qfbTNQKKHEMC&lpg=PA167&pg=PA167#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/mAstTv0IDk

        Fwiw, I suspect point was to send the alms to furthest reaches of Christendom as Alfred knew it, so inclined to think India *was* meant ;)

        Theory is that India is mistake for Judea, I suspect not & that King Alfred did intend to send alms to India in 883 AD :)

        Whatever one thinks of Alfred, one cannot accuse him of thinking small. He always set his sights high

        It makes more sense when you realise that this is a slightly later copy and the Mediterranean hasn't been coloured in this version ;)
