LONG ISLES, THE

Duke Galeholt conquered thirty kingdoms, of which Surluse and the Long Isles seem the most notable. This suggests that the Long Isles may have been close to Surluse.

Some evidence, however, points to a Welsh location for Surluse; Holyhead and Anglesey [which are more roundish than long] have already been assigned to King Pellinore on stronger evidence. Islay, Jura, Kintyre, and Arran, in Scotland, certainly answer the description of "long islands", and the fact that they are far distant from Wales may be secondary to a conqueror of Galeholt's caliber.
