Footnote
From John Speed's atlas The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, [1611-1612]. The maps were prepared by John Speed from the surveys of John Norden and Christopher Saxton, and engraved, chiefly, by Jodocus Hondius. The text on the back of the maps is chiefly abridged from Camden's Britannia. Chubb XXII
