‘The bishop’s seat will move from London to the broad Canterbury. And the splendid Menelogia will take over the long-held distinction of Caerleon.
[4] Kantaraborg ‘Canterbury’: Lit. ‘city of the Kentish people’. Kantaraborg is the normal Old Norse name for Canterbury, here as elsewhere with the elements reversed in order to conform to the requirements of alliteration; cf. Ótt Hfl 10/4I and Note there.
