Q: The source for "Caer-Lerion" is Nennius in the 28 towns of Britain listed in the 'History of the Britons';
source for 'ligora' being the name of the river is William of Malmesbury;
source for 'ligoraceaster' is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles 917;
source for 'Locrinis - King of Loegria' is Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Loegria is defined here as being "England between Humber and Severn".

A very interesting website for anyone interested in early history, the lands, areas and rulers is The History Files
