The Latin version describes the fourth inlet north from Wales on the west coast of England as Moriancabris Æsturis. Translated, this gives a more accurate description than the present name of Morecambe Bay as the Latin refe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
