4 +2 | Ina, King of Wessex |

ina Ina, King of Wessex Explanation: I believe that Ina (also called Ine or Ini) was the King of Wessex (a kingdom in the south of England roughly from 500 - 900AD) The Heptarchy refers to the 7 kingdoms of England during that period. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2020-12-02 08:15:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Glo’ster in Lear, otherwise Ina, king of that country" I believe that Hardy is saying that Glo'ster in Lear is based on Ina, King of Wessex aka Glo'ster in Lear, AKA / otherwise known as, King Ina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ine_of_Wessex#:~:text=Ine%2C%20also%20rendered%20Ini%20or,dominated%20much%20of%20southern%20England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptarchy |
